HDMC: an object-oriented approach to hardware diagnostics
M. P. J. Landon, Schatz, C Schumacher, Ullrich R. Pfeiffer · CERN Document Server (European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2000
A software package has been developed which provides direct access to hardware components for testing, diagnostics or monitoring purposes.It provides a library of C++ classes for hardware access and a corresponding graphical user interface.Special care has been taken to make this package convenient to use, flexible and extensible.The software has been successfully used in development of components for the pre-processor system of the ATLAS level-1 calorimeter trigger, but it could be useful for any system requiring direct diagnostic access to VME based hardware.
