A "front Panel" Human Interface for FASTBUS

A human interface based on the Snoop<1> diagnostic module has been designed to facilitate checkout of FASTBUS<2> devices, diagnosis of system faults, and monitoring of system performance. This system, which is a generalization of the usual computer front panel or control console, includes logic analyzer functions, display and manual-control access to other modules, a microprocessor which allows the user to create and execute diagnostic programs and store them on a minifloppy disk, and a diagnostic network which allows remote console operation and coordination of information from Multiple segments' Snoops.
