  available registers for the crate tree
• The layout of boards within the crate is given by
  a XDAQ-style XML file made for the TFGUI

Backend XDAQ Interface
GUIDriver and TFDriver are standard XDAQ
executives This setup allows other XDAQ
executives, i.e. PeripheralCrateController, to
communicate with the TF crate using the
TFDriver A crash of the TFGUI or the GUIDriver
does not affect TF crate operations The usage of
I2o messages keeps the network traffic low
13
Backend System Interface

• Backend is also able to make calls to console
  programs of the TrigDAQ package (only if TFGUI is
  running on the TF PC)
• Controlled through one class for easy maintenance
  and possible extensions
