Abstract

In experiments with a large amount of electronics, it is important to provide monitoring for operation, flexibility to changes of the system configuration, and convenience of its use by experimentalists who are not experts in electronics. This work describes the organization of the completely computer-controlled trigger system of the DIRAC experiment at CERN.
