The SASD methodology is being used to provide a rigorous design framework for various components of the ALEPH data acquisition system. The Entity-Relationship data model is used to describe the layout and configuration of the control and acquisition systems and detector components. State Transition Diagrams are used to specify control applications such as run control and resource management and Data Flow Diagrams assist in decomposing software tasks and defining interfaces between processes. These techniques encourage rigorous software design leading to enhanced functionality and reliability. Improved documentation and communication ensures continuity over the system life-cycle and simplifies project management.

Modern printed circuits are manufactured using a mask. This mask can be prepared by directin~ a light beam around a photographic plate to describe the required circuit. An etching process is then used to transfer the circuit from the photographic plate (the mask) to the circuit board. A description
