  3. Firmware & LUT loading • The look-up tables on the CSC Sector Processor are loaded via a HAL-based command line program • Can be called from the Java GUI, or from a script that loads all needed LUTs • We can program multiple chips and boards in parallel (many identical tables) • Updates to the board firmware stored in EPROMs are loaded via a custom VMEJTAG program based on software by National Semiconductor and SBS • Callable from command-line scripts • Recently incorporated into the “JAL” package developed by H.Sakulin, and successfully tested! • We will port our environment to use JAL for firmware loading, in order to strive for a uniform software architecture Trigger Software Meeting

  4. Test Software • Most test software to validate the on-board SP functionality as well as to perform interface tests between boards are written as HAL-based command line programs • Again callable from the Java GUI • For example, last week we successfully conducted a second DT/CSC Track-Finder integration test • Program loads data into FIFO on CSC TF, then injects data to DT TF (or in loop-back to CSC TF) which is captured and read out. • We expected to use an “inject pattern” command distributed via the TTC to conduct the test, but in practice last week we triggered on the data itself. • CSC and DT software are different products and not integrated. • In practice this was not much of a handicap, but for in-situ trigger tests at CMS we should evolve to a common control Trigger Software Meeting

  5. TestBeam DAQ and Beyond • For the 2004 beam tests, we could log CSC Track-Finder data through the VME controller using a standalone HAL program or through an XDAQ-based event-builder • We partitioned the XDAQ modules so that everything could be controlled either through the Track-Finder GUI, the Testbeam Run Control, or any other control software that sends i2o messages Trigger Software Meeting

  7. The Integrated EMU GUI The Track-Finder GUI has been extended to include the XDAQ-based run control system for CSC beam tests Controls 4 crates: 2 Peripheral crates, Track-Finder crate, TTC crate DB calls to store configuration parameters Evolving to become a Slicetest control Trigger Software Meeting
