These controllers contain at their core an FPGA on which the controller firmware is loaded. The controllers have two modes of operation:
  
   - Interactive mode: commands sent to the USB port are immediately executed and their result returned   - Interactive mode: commands sent to the USB port are immediately executed and their result returned

-The time-ordered data from the Sweeper EVB is sent to the ring buffer **sweeper**, which can then be read by users via analyzer (e.g. SpecTcl, Root, etc.). In order to facilitate the parsing of data from the Sweeper, a pre-unpacker software packet was created to organize data from electronics modules (detectors) into C++ structures.   Users can couple this pre-unpacker into their analysis software. More details about the Sweeper pre-unpacker software can be found [[Pre-unpacker|here]].+The time-ordered data from the Sweeper EVB is sent to the ring buffer **sweeper**, which can then be read by users via analyzer (e.g. SpecTcl, ROOT, etc.).
