Abstract

The trigger control system for the Obelix experiment at the low-energy antiproton ring (LEAR) at CERN is described. This system operates in a distributed environment and provides an easy to use mechanism for trigger selection. Automatic consistency checks and bookkeeping of all changes are performed. The integration with the run control system ensures proper synchronization with the other procedures
