We will build prototype of the interface card and associated software to verify that the performance requirements will be met. A test signal generator will also be built which allows verification of behavior in presence of errors and/or pathological input data. (Test data can be programmed onto an EPROM chip in the test device.)
For the August 1996 HRDL tests in Geneva we recommend using a ``generic'' clone Pentium PC equipped with sufficient hard disk space and a DAT tape drive. We recommend postponing acquiring the final set of identical acquisition PCs until late spring 1997, just before starting integration tests in Zürich. The Aug96 test machine can be used in 1997--1998 tests and during STS as an additional backup machine which is deliberately different in configuration when compared to the set of ``production machines''.
This document was written using the linuxdoc-sgml DTD. SGML
stands for ``Structured Generalized Markup Language'' and I chose SGML
for this document because SGML is made specifically for translation to
other formats. SGML allows you to specify the structure of a
document---that is, what kinds of things make up the document. You
specify the structure of a document with a DTD (Document Type
Definition). linuxdoc-sgml is one DTD that specifies the
structure for Linux HOWTOs and other docs. QWERTZ is another DTD; the
SGML standard provides DTD's for books, articles, and other generic
document types.
