Software Packages (4)

Outline scope of packages (concluded)

• Test Vector Generation:
  create test vectors for single modules, subsystems and for the whole system
• Simulation:
  simulation of the hardware (more detailed than offline) eg propogating readout data or test vectors through the trigger processing chain
• System and Subsystem Testing:
  framework using test vectors and simulation to test the whole system or subsets of it. Perhaps some of the functionality is actually provided the dependent packages, eg run control, event monitoring etc??
• Calibration:
  procedures for all our calibrations. Overlap with testing. Again, functionality may actually be provided by other packages, eg special modes in the run control, etc??
