Summary0000091: Design self-configuring readout list with database storage of crate configuration
DescriptionDesign a readout list that probes the VXS/VME crate backplane to discover which modules are present in the crate, then configures itself to read out the modules in an optimum way. Program should report the configuration it found to the Hall D Conditions Database and to other Hall D bookkeeping facilities as appropriate. Develop prototype and test in a realistic DAQ and crate environment. Deliver report that summarizes results and includes an outline of steps needed to create and commission production readout list with estimates of required time and manpower.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationConsult as required with the Hall D Online group concerning the specific requirements and constraints of the Hall D computing system. Major architectural decisions must be reviewed by the Hall D Online group to ensure compatibility with the experiment online environment.

Graham...kindly review the task description and modify as required, especially the estimated man-weeks of effort needed. We'll iterate as needed.

Estimated man-weeks will be updated after discussion of scope and priority. This task is dependent on other tasks that may make development of a meaningful prototype impossible in the near term.

Bryan says he'll have a prototype available for the FDC cosmic ray test later this Fall.

Bryan created a package that scans a VME crate and delivers an XML file listing the crate contents. This file will be input to a later package that reads out the crate based on the XML file. Between generation and use of the file users could modify the file to eliminate crates that are not needed, and check that required crates were found.
