Status Table for Configure Clicking on the link on the rhs will give you XDAQ pages BUT you should use the Bookmarks instead to go directly to the page (or copy the link) Going from the status page gives you a truncated version of the browser without bookmark tabs plus other undesirable features (BAD)

Yellow Page This is the famous Yellow Page The Yellow page is the Home page for all configuration work From the top part you can work on ALL pcrates at once From the lower part you can pick a single pcrate and work on that whole crate Or you can go into that crate and work on individual pcrate boards on CSC and the on-chamber boards

Overview of the Green Page The green page lists the 21 crate slots and their contents Not all boards need show up on this page The xml (db) for this pcrate is used to draw the board options The slots above 21 were used for special whole crate features – they also must be set up by the xml (db)
