2. May 2005 EMT Test Software 2 Hierarchy of Test Software Test Main Function Emt Crate Emt VME Board Utility VME Board -Read / Write: accesses to a register using HAL -VME controller dependent (using SBS620 now) - Common for all EMT boards - Xml file provides address-register interface - Runs a test - Script / GUI interface - Contains board level macros - Prepared for MPC and MS for now - Configures peripheral/TF crate - Controls board to board interactions

10. May 2005 EMT Test Software 10 Test Software Status and Plan Status  Test software GUI is ready.  Programs to download CCB/MPC/MS firmware through VME are running.  Running CCB/MPC/MS production tests at Rice. Plan  Make it possible to run the test software with other VME controllers.  Accommodate “xdaq” into the test software.
