This macro is a GUI to deploy various resources on an ICE-uPAC card,
to snapshot or continuously acquire to memory or disk.
There are also a few protocol analysis tools.
These controls can be initialized using the /GC={MODE=xx,...} syntax.
A Midas log file is created by the name <card>_<port>.mlog. This file can be filtered
for error messages, up/down times, performance metrics, etc. It can be retrieved via
NFS, FTP, HTTP, MFTP, etc.
