Hi I updated the online tof monitor so it now contains much more compact info. Old histograms/pictures are now normally not displayed. If you compile and BRAT_EXPERT_MON is defined you get all the old stuff as well. There are 4 pictures now : 1) Top and Bot pedestals, 2) Hit info, 3) Top info 4) Bot info. I use the new BrDetectorMonitor methods to ask for sync triggers that I store in a TProfile with SetErrorOption( "s" ) ( error = rms, Thanks JH ) and when I have had 1 sync trigger I start to use pedestal vaule + 50 as a cut for top and bot hits. A slat with top and bottom signals ( adc > && tdc < 4000 ) is a hit. Histos for hits are : slat distribution, multiplicity distribution, time diff top - bot, time average, and this is supposed to be the most important histograms for online monitoring. if there are slats missing you want to go to the top and bottom pictures where you can see slat dist for top and bot tubes, the raw adc signals and the raw tdc signals. This should help you pinpoint the error so you can mail the tof guys;) Known problems are : **Lots of tdc signals are less than 100. I have looked before at these events and they go away when you require ZDC trigger, leading on to the point that once we start having a real good collision trigger this should be tested in the online monitor. **Since in the old monitor there was 2* slats number of tdc vs adc histos I have made 2 such plots ( bot and top ). They don't look very useful from the first tests, but could maybe be made useful with trigger requirements and maybe a small correction like adc - ped, some small tdc alignment using some of the other histo info. Point is I think we should let them be somewhere for a little while since someone made an effort to put them there. ** I can simply not figure out how to make some of my 2d histograms box plots. Can somebody tell me how to do this in the monitor enviroment. Please help me! ** If the monitor is given runs that have no sync triggers, not very much info will be given. Only top adc and tdc + bot adc and tdc !!! I hope that as people use the program they WILL write a lot of comments to the list so the monitor can be improved. Also I hope that someone might find some of the ideas useful and try to improve some of the other monitors.
