This paper discusses FBNEXPERT, an expert system designed to help operators in controlling and maintaining a FASTBUS data acquisition system; it can also assist human experts during trouble-shooting and fault diagnosis. It is based on a shell (NEXPERT, by Neuron Data) which interacts with a knowledge base, where all the information about the FASTBUS system is collected, including the description of the configuration (from the files used for the initialization procedure) and the results of tests and previous diagnoses. During the diagnostic process, FBNEXPERT spans several levels of description of the FASTBUS system and applies various co-operating strategies.
