Prototype Array Test Software for Data Acquisition

This software plan outlines the basic software needed for data acquisition of a prototype array test in the dark, to be delivered by the end of Q3 2002. The overview includes the current status, work plan, deliverables, wire fiber optic hardware requirements, firmware work, and the necessary hardware components. The software covers control, detector bias, SQUID array bias, FE SQUID bias, address card, digital feedback, clock card, data acquisition, PCI card, and visualization. Current status includes some hardware testing and software development for control and data acquisition tasks using Linux, C, and Python. The work plan entails selecting software and platforms for various tasks, including hardware verification, automated testing systems, database management, data visualization, and data analysis.
