Abstract
Testing a system as large as the D Zero data acquisition system is difficult. This paper describes the use of IBM compatible personal computers in a hardware test system that can run on any size system from an engineer`s test bench to the entire subsystem in the D Zero Detector. The test system uses a PC to VME bus interface for the local testing and the Token Ring network for more global testing. This system has been implemented for several different hardware systems in D Zero.
