The Trigger Supervisor coordinates the triggering and digitization subprocess of the CDF data acquisition system: it provides a gating signal to the front-end electronics, directs the gated data to be digitized and stored into selected buffers, communicates the identity of filled buffers to the Buffer Manager, and recycles buffers after they have been read out: it is implemented as a FASTBUS Master and contains three cooperating sequencers, two of which are microcode based.
