ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) [1] is the heavy-ion experiment being prepared for Hadron (LHC) at CERN. Running implies performing a set of activities on several particle detectors. In these are grouped into four domains: Detector Control System (DCS), Data Acquisition (DAQ), Trigger (TRG) and High Level (HLT). The Experiment (ECS) top control level experiment. October 2004 ECS has been used to contro l combined beam tests Inner Tracking (ITS) with an experimental setup made three All different combinations detectors were successfully tested: in standalone mode, any combination two running together while third one was together.
