Online Subsystem Control

Requirement:

The ON-line SVT software includes a user interface to allow the SVT operator to establish the configuration of the SVT receiver cards, down load the ASICs, down load the trigger software, start or setup the calibration and monitoring processes, to start and setup the event display as well as the on-line analysis software.

Justification:

It should be possible to establish the configuration of the entire SVT subsystem from a single entry point.

Requirement:

The configuration of the SVT subsystem should be modular, ``data driven'' and proceed from ``configuration lists''.

Justification:

It is thus easier to start and recover the system after shut down. The modularity ensures a good capacity for growth in functionality.

Requirement:

The SVT subsystem control system uses a graphical interface.
