Abstract

The Online Software is the global system software of the ATLAS data acquisition (DAQ) system, responsible for the configuration, control and information sharing of the ATLAS DAQ System. A test beam facility offers the ATLAS detectors the possibility to study important performance aspects as well as to proceed on the way to the final ATLAS DAQ system. Last year, three subdetectors of ATLAS-separately and combined-were successfully using the Online Software for the control of their datataking. In this paper, we describe the different components of the Online Software together with their usage at the ATLAS test beam.
