Abstract
The Atlas experiments is the largest experiment among the four major experiments on the Large Hadron Collider ring at CERN. The experiment features the Atlas particle detector, which is able to record up to 100 million data points 40 million times per second, with its many sensors positioned in concentric cylinders around a 46m section of the particle accelerator pipe. The conditions of these sensors needs to be constantly monitored to ensure proper operation of Atlas. To perform this monitoring, large amounts of data needs to be moved from the sensors to the control room, which require radiation hard interface devices. These interfaces concentrate the upstream diagnostic data, and propagate system parameter changes downstream. The EMP-EMCI system is such an interface device in development at CERN. In this project software is developed for the EMP, that allows a user to interface with the many functionalities on the EMCIs applicationspecific integrated circuit, called the low power Gigabit transceiver.
