The FEREAD system provides a multi-tasking framework for controlling the execution of experiment specific front end readout processes. It supports initializing the front end data acquisition hardware, queueing and processing readout activation signals, cleaning up at the end of data acquisition, and transferring configuration parameters and statistical data between a Host computer and the readout processes. FEREAD is implemented as part of the PAN-DA software system and is designed to run on any Motorola 68{kappa} based processor board. It has been ported to the FASTBUS General Purpose Master (GPM) interface board and the VME MVME133A processor board using the rhoSOS/Microtec environment.
