The controller is constructed with:

•  Local Control Board (LCB) with the Xilinx Virtex5 FPGA
•  Power Supply Module (PSM) with almost all of the power supplies needed (a few LV regulators are on the LCB)
•  Analog Front End (AFE) which has the analog section of the controller (Two AFEs per system)
•  Transition Module (TSM) with the portion that is unique to the dewar/instrument
