Many High Energy Physics experiments at Fermilab are now including FASTBUS front-ends in their data acquisition systems. The requirements on controllers to readout and control these FASTBUS systems are increasing in complexity and speed. The Data Acquisition Software Group has designed general software for front end 68{Kappa} processor boards housed in FASTBUS or VME to meet these needs. The first implementation has been developed for the General Purpose FASTBUS Master (GPM). This software is being ported to the FASTBUS Smart Crate Controller under development at Fermilab. The software is designed, using structured analysis tools and coding in C, to be easily portable in the future to new processor boards. As part of their extended support for FASTBUS, they have enhanced their software for the intelligent LeCroy 1821 FASTBUS interface and implemented the FASTBUS standard routines for the VAX/VMS operating system.
