Abstract :
The authors discuss the design of the high level assembler and diagnostic control program developed for the MX, a high-speed, custom-designed computer used in the CDF (Collider Detector Facility) data acquisition system at Fermilab. These programs provide a friendly, productive environment for the development of software on the MX. Details of their implementation and special features and some of the lessons learned during their development are included.<>
