Abstract :
FDL is a high level, interpretive programming language designed as a diagnostic tool for use with Fastbus systems. Language constructs which directly support Fastbus transaction types plus simple control and data structures make FDL a more appropriate diagnostic medium than languages traditionally used, such as Fortran, Basic, or Forth. It is also more accessible to engineers and physicists with limited programming capabilities.
