A complete run control system has been developed for the TFC system (TFC_LC). It has been used during the entire prototyping phase and the production testing of the TFC system. It also allows full control of the TFC system in sub-detector tests and commissioning, and is ready to be integrated into the overall ECS system of LHCb.

Downloads

The TFC control system is distributed as a PVSS framework component. It also requires several JCOP framework components according to the table below. Please use the JCOP PVSS installation tool fwInstallation3.0.2
