Description

In the next millennium, data acquisition tasks for high energy physics will increasingly rely on distributed processing and the VME bus. To provide transparent, general-purpose access to VME hardware modules through a VME-embedded processor, we have created a simple, portable, easily configured object-oriented interface to the VME bus. This software is particularly well-suited for hardware development, providing rapid engineering level access to the VME interface of prototype modules. (author)
