Any help will be greatly appreciated. ISSUES Generally: In developing test stands with all new hardware and all new software, and assuming the use of Ada on a supporting host computer, and given a support group very proficient in the ATLAS language, what are factors affecting choice of programming language for the stands themselves? Specifically: 1) Is it possible to write the programs completely in Ada? 2) What are significant considerations if test stand software consists of a- all ATLAS code; b- all Ada code (perhaps with Ada subprograms which model ATLAS facilities to make it easier for those who are only familiar with ATLAS); c- a mix of Ada and ATLAS; d- any other possibility you can suggest?
