The MODEL Human Interface (MHI) is a standalone, interactive software facility that provides the user interface of the MODEL data acquisition system. MODEL is the latest data acquisition software developed by CERN OC division to suit the needs of a distributed data acquisition system that is interconnected through a network (Ethernet, Decnet etc). It's development has been concurrent with the CERN LEP project. The MODEL data acquisition software is a modular collection of software modules designed as the functional units of a complete data acquisition system. The general design philosophy behind the MODEL software package is to provide a set of tools to build acquisition system specific to the needs of any particular large scale experiment. This note describes the design and development of a Human Interface for the LVD experiment. Work on functional units are currently in progress.
