The picture below shows the integrated interface modules test setup. In comparison with the real system setup diagram shown on the introduction page, you will see that all the components except the interface modules which we will first test, are replaced by the three cheesy cards, one ARCnet PC card, and the generic test board. All the cheesy cards and ARCnet PC card can be controlled by simple a PC. We can test all the interface card functionalities, programming xilinx chips, input and output of the interface modules, and communicating with MCM, with this simple PC based system.
These cheesy cards will eventually be replaced by the PHENIX standard modules and the MVD MCM in preparation for a full system chain test.
