Description
The CMS detector will start its operation in the end of 2007. Until
that time great care must be taken in order to assure that hardware
operation is fully understood. We present an example of how emulation
software helps achieving this goal in the CMS Level-1 RPC Trigger
system.
The design of the RPC trigger allows to insert sets of so-called test
pulses at any stage of the hardware pipeline. Reading out data from
different stages is also possible. Such design allows for easy debugging
of the trigger hardware by comparing hardware and software emulation
values, since the software and hardware algorithms are identical.
In the talk we would like to present the architecture of our test
applications, specific test cases and the RPC trigger emulation software itself.
