Changes described in this section took place 13-Jul-98:
A first pass at
the "12 step program" for the MVD -- code to help write simulationed
data in raw data format -- is complete. Some notes about the "12 step
program" for the MVD are at (a link from the MVD software page):
here.
The following new modules were added to the cvs repository:
mvd/src/mMvdFEM.c and mMvdFEM.idl -- fill dMvdFEM table using
dMvbRaw and dMvcRaw as input
mvd/src/mMvdDCM.c and mMvdDCM.idl -- fill dMvdDCM table using
dMvdFEM as input
mvd/src/mMvdUnpack.c and mMvdUnpack.idl -- fill dMvbRaw and dMvcRaw
tables using dMvdDCM as input
The following new idl files were been added:
mvd/inc/dMvdFEM.idl -- input packet to MVD's DCM's
mvd/inc/dMvdDCM.idl -- output packet from MVD's DCM's
The following kumac files have been changed in the repository:
mvd/wrk/luxini.kumac -- added "newtable" commands for dMvdFEM, dMvdDCM
mvd/wrk/luxrun.kumac -- added calls to mMvdFEM, mMvdDCM, mMvdUnpack
The changes in the kumac files are optional -- the code will work with
or without the changes. The added calls to mMvdFEM, mMvdDCM, mMvdUnpack
will use the "Raw" table to fill the "FEM" table, then the "DCM" table,
and will then erase and refill the "Raw" tables. Therefore, if you
include these calls you will
1) use more cpu time
2) test the new modules for the "12 step program"
The biggest problem with this new code is that some geometry constants
are inside the new routines. Although these constants are not likely
to change, they should be taken from the various staf geometry tables.
I decided to release this code as is, since it seems to work, and
make those changes later.
The set of changes described here were made 6-Jul-1998.
The reasons for the changes were
1) fill the "official" MVD output table dMvddNdEtaOut (for dN/deta)
and use it to fill histograms
2) misc minor improvements in software and/or additions of comments
Users of the code will have to change their staf kumacs because
some of the calling sequences of the routines have been changed.
Details follow.
Here is a description of the changes in each file:
dMvddNdEtaOut.idl--- new file (an MVD output table)
dMvdClmp.idl --- added comments
dMvdNclmp.idl --- added comments
mMvbdNdEta.c --- Added new staf table dMvddNdEtaOut to calling
sequence. Removed dMvdHst from calling sequence.
Changed calling sequence of function MvbEta.
Remove code which booked and filled histograms
(it is now done elsewhere). Add dphi correction
(the active part of each row of Si occupies less
than 60 degrees in phi due to dead areas at the
edges, etc.) Also add dN/deta*dphi. Define first
software ID codes.
mMvbdNdEta.idl --- Added dMvddNdEtaOut to calling sequence.
Removed dMvdHst from calling sequence.
mMvcdNdEta.c --- Added new staf table dMvddNdEtaOut to calling
sequence. Add code to save dN/deta in dMvddNdEtaOut.
Changed calling sequence to MvcEta to add a
calculation of the uncertainty.
mMvcdNdEta.idl --- Added new staf table dMvddNdEtaOut to calling sequence.
mMvdHst.c --- Added new staf table dMvddNdEtaOut to calling sequence.
Use data in dMvddNdEtaOut to construct dN/deta histograms.
mMvdHst.idl --- Added new staf table dMvddNdEtaOut to calling sequence.
mMvdPseudoTrk.c -- Make the binsize easier to change for pseudotracking. It
is now controlled by ZRESOLUTION. Also, change its value
from 200 microns to 300 microns which seems to give
slightly better vertex finding-efficiency.
In the process add some comments.
luxini.kumac -- add "newtable" command for dMvddNdEtaOut
luxrun.kumac -- Change calling sequence for mMvbdNdEta, mMvcdNdEta, mMvdHst.
For details see descriptions of changes in idl files above.
Add "tdm/table/rowcount dMvddNdEtaOut 0" at the beginning
of every new event.
I do not use the following kumacs, but I tried to update them to work with the new code.
I have not tested them however:
File: mvd_1_event.kumac -- Change calling sequence for mMvbdNdEta, mMvcdNdEta, mMvdHst.
For details see descriptions of changes in idl files above.
File: mvd_init.kumac -- add "newtable" command for dMvddNdEtaOut
File: mvd_clear.kumac -- Add "tdm/table/rowcount dMvddNdEtaOut 0"
