This package extends the schema from the confmodel package to describe readout, dataflow and trigger applications.

SmartDaqApplication

SmartDaqApplication is an abstract class where the modules relationship will normally be left empty with the DaqModules themselves being generated on the fly by an implementation of the generate_modules() method. The SmartDaqApplication has relationships to QueueConnectionRules and NetworkConnectionRules to allow the generate_modules() method to know how to connect the modules internally and to network endpoints.

The generate_modules method is a pure virtual function that must be implemented for each SmartDaqApplication. It should populate the modules relationship of the DaqApplication and call conffwk::update() so that subsequent calls to get_modules will return the newly created objects.

Readout, HSI, Hermes Dataflow and Trigger applications extend from SmartDaqApplication

ReadoutApplication

The ReadoutApplication inherits from SmartDaqApplication and provides a generate_modules() method which will generate a DataReaderModule for each DetectorToDaqConnection associated with the application via the detector_connections relationship, and set of DataHandlerModule objects, i.e. DLH for each DetectorStream plus a single TPHandlerModule (FIXME: this shall become a TPHandler per detector plane).

Optionally DataRecorderModule modules may be created (not supported yet)). The modules are created according to the configuration given by the data_reader, link_handler, data_recorder and tp_handler relationships respectively.

Connections between pairs of modules are configured according to the queue_rules relationship inherited from SmartDaqApplication.

Far Detector schema extensions

Several OKS classes have far detector specific customisations, as shown in blue the above diagram.

DataFlow applications

The Datflow applications, which are also SmartDaqApplication which generate DaqModules on the fly, are also included here.

Trigger applications

The Trigger applications, which are also SmartDaqApplication which generate DaqModules on the fly, are also included here.

WIEC application

The WIEC application is a SmartDaqApplication which generates HermesModule modules , and WIBModules, on the fly.

Testing SmartDaqApplication module generation

This package also provides a program generate_modules_test for testing the generate_modules method of **SmartDaqApplication**s. It reads a configuration from an OKS database, generates the DaqModules for the requested SmartDaqApplication and prints a summary of the DaqModules and Connections.
