Software Packages (3)

Outline scope of packages (continued)

• ROD DAQ:
  event collection from RODs; event building from multiple RODs and crates; send events for monitoring
• Hardware Monitoring:
  periodic monitoring of the hardware in the crate, via VME, by the local CPU (ie not monitoring of events from readout)
• Event Monitoring:
  monitor system by analysing events (from ROS or RODs); fill histograms etc for distributed display; customise DAQ event dump
• Histogram Distribution and Display:
  distributed display of histograms kept on each local CPU. (NB LVL2 are developing a package - depending on progress we might use this instead of what Tara developed for us?)
• DCS:
  SCADA level programming; use of DCS data in the DAQ (interface foreseen at the run controller level)
