CHA	Cental Hadron calorimeter

CMU	Central Muon chambers

CMP	Central Muon Upgrade chambers

CMX	Central Muon extension chambers

COT	Central Outer Tracker

CPR	Central PRe-shower detector

CRATESUM   Level1 Calorimeter Trigger processor board which calculated
	   sum Et and missing Et

CSP	Central Muon Upgrade scintillation counters

CSX	Central Muon extension scintillation counters

CWIR	Central Wire chamber

DCAS    Level2 Calorimeter Trigger processor board 

DIRAC	Level1 Calorimeter Trigger board which does calorimeter data processing

DOIM	Dense Optical Interface Module (SVX DAQ data link module)

FIB	Fiber Interface Board (SVX 9U readout module)

FRED	Level1 trigger Decision module

IMU	Intermediate Muon Detector

PCBCP	Printed Circuit Board Certifying Panel

pre-FRED Interface modules for Level1 trigger Decision crate

QIE	Charge Integrator and Encoder ASIC for calorimeter front-end readout

SMC	Shower Max readout Controller in 6U crate mounted by detectors

SMD	Shower Max Digitizer board (6U board houses SMQIE, preamp, calibration 
	circuitry) located in 6U crate mounted by detectors

SMQIE	Shower Max QIE chip

SMX	Shower Max type detectors (CES, CWIR, PSMX...)

SMXR	Shower Max Readout board, collects digitized signals from SMD board,
	located in 9U crate in the rack

SQUID	Shower Max QIE daughter card (plug into SMD board)
	
SRC     Silicon Acquisition and Readout module (SVX front-end readout)

SVT	SVXII track processor in Level2 trigger system

TRACER	TRigger And Clock/Event Readout.  A custom VME module which 
	receives trigger and clock signals and passes them to the
	rest of front-end or trigger modules in the crate.

TSI 	Trigger System Interface

VRB	VME Readout Board : Scanner Buffer Crate - midway station for 
        data to collected from front-end readout boards and sits before
        gets pass to the DAQ processor farms.  Calorimeter and SVX 
  	front-end will have these.
    
VRC	VME readout controller (readout CPU) such as MVME162

WHA	Wall hadron calorimeter

XCES	CES Level2 processor

XFT	COT track processor in Level1 Trigger system

XPT	Cross Point in TSI design. All information between triggers 
        and DAQ and merged and decisions being distributed - needed 
        since we have partitions.

XTRP	Track Extrapolation module.  Extraploate XFT tracks to calorimeter
	muon and SVX detectors then send projected coordinates to various
	Level1 and Level2 trigger systems.
