CMS HCAL Front End Electronics System
This system should perform the following tasks:
- Download CSR information to the front-end channel control ASICs.
- Readback CSR information from the front-end channel control ASICs.
- Download the embedded microprocessor in the control interface in each
front-end electronics enclosure.
- Provide limit and alarm functions for temperatures, voltages and
currents readback from the front-end electronics enclosures.
This system is a semi-intelligent control and monitor interface for the
approximately 150 HCAL front-end electronics locations. Loading and
retrieving information is via a radiation tolerant fieldbus network.
