Module Services: Aims

General Idea

• Will be the main way other software accesses the modules
• Provide a high level set of services for each of our modules and their main, complex, subcomponents
• Hide details of internal register and memory structure
• Maybe modules permit some access to major subcomponents?

Interfaces

• Based on HDMC Module and SubModule classes
• Modules will need to be given a Bus and ideally some connection to the PartManager (to be determined)
• Close connection between configuration database objects and Module Services configuration methods
• Run control states handled by run control package (calling module services to execute transition actions)
• Modules return status objects for hardware monitoring package
• Will test programs need more detailed access to module components?
