<p>* DAQ/control needs to be flexible due to many options of hardware/measurements<br>
* Sometimes analysis is online during acquisition<br>
* most measurement racks are mobile<br>
* test engineer responsible to implement hardware/software (developer)<br>
* FFMM in C++. Many years of development. Includes a GUI generator.<br>
* one FFMM application per "type of test" (example: one for rotating coil, one for stretched wire, etc)<br>
* FFMM communicates directly with Infor/EDMS/DB<br>
* Data stored in EDMS and NFS<br>
* FFMM application also controls power converter<br>
* online analysis: using Matlab (good for sharing code) and C++</p>

<p>* FFMM does DAQ, control and some analysis simultaneously<br>
* mostly developed by students, at the start ~3 students at 100 % during 3-4 years, now one fellow at ~30%. More resources would be needed to continue development<br>
* rough estimation: 20 years-person</p>
