How to run pedcalc_mod_auto

Ensure logged into online machine as shift
Goto directory: /home/shift/pedgainmodcalc
Type:
phat <ENTER>
At prompt , root [0] , type:
.x pedcalc_mod_auto.C(<RunNumber>,<SequenceNumber>) <ENTER>
eg: .x pedcalc_mod_auto.C(2230,0)
The default name of the DAQ data directory is /mnt/data, so if the data is mounted elsewhere there you can type:
.x pedcalc_mod_auto.C(<RunNumber>,<SequenceNumber>,<DAQDataDirectory>)
The progam then finds the disk number your data file is located on, and lets you know where it found it. If it does not find it, it stops. So then check the data is still on the DAQ.
You will be asked questions about the defaults, see Pedcalc_mod Default Questions, if happy just keep hitting return, else follow directions and make changes as required
You will see an output of directories (See Example of running pedcalc_mod.C)
You should see output about connecting to data base:
eg:
        initOracleDB: OracleDB phdb authenticated
        GetSensorMapDBFromOracle: SensorDB ver. 4.800000 found
        GetFECDetectorFromMapDB: FECDetector ver. 4.800000 created out of SensorDB map
You should see output regading the pedestal calculation proceedure:
In one of the following three forms:
1) Success
2) Failure
3) Problems for X channels, but as within tolerances continuing.
You should see output regading the noise calculation proceedure
In one of the following three forms:
1) Success
2) Failure
3) Problems for X channels, but as within tolerances continuing.
You should see information about writing pedestal and noise to data base
eg:
Writing FEC Detector Ped and noise to Oracle
Successfully writen FEC Detector and Ped to Oracle
Exit the phat by typing:
.q <RETURN>
When finished a file called "FailedNoisePed.txt" will be created. This files gives information on what channels failed and how. See Examining FailedNoisePedInfo.

Pedcalc_mod_auto Default Questions

You will be asked if you want to use the default initialization file:
        Default initialization file name =./PedCalcModDefaults.dat
        If you want to use the default file hit <RETURN> else enter new
        (Yes = <RETURN> : No = any character)
This is the file in which the initial default values to calculate the prepedestal are set. Just hit <RETURN>.
You SHOULD NEVER change these values in the file without contacting Nigel first.
You will then see a description of the values used in determining the prepedestal constants
as well as their current(default) values. You will be asked :
Do you want to use the current parameters for all runs?
(Yes = <RETURN> : No = any character)
Type: <RETURN> if want to use these values
else if Type : n<RETURN> then hit <RETURN> to the next question, and change values as instructed.
Steps 1 and 2 will be repeated but now for the pedestal and noise calculation parameters.(See Example of running pedcalc_mod.C)

Examining FailedNoisePedInfo

When pedcalc_mod.C finished a file called "FailedNoisePed.txt" will be created. This files gives information on what channels failed and how.

To examine the contents of this file, either more or emacs it.

The contents are arranged in the following way

FEC String Chip Channel Ped Status CMN Failures Signal Failures Succeeded
(# events) (# events) (# events)

1 3 1 64 1 0 601 0
........................

KEY:

Ped Status =1 calculated pedestal and RMS ok
= 0 failed to calculate pedestal and RMS

CMN Failures = Number of events that failed to calculate a CMN properly for this channel

Signal Failures = Number of events that failed to calculate the noise for this channel

Succeeded = Number of events that calculated a noise correctly.

Troubleshooting pedcalc_mod_auto.C

If pedcalc_mod_auto.C dies because more channels had problems than the defaults allow, you have the option of continuing by changing the default tolerances when asked questions
If problems connecting to data base, contact either Nigel or George H.

How to run gaincalc_mod_auto.C

Ensure logged into online machine as shift
Goto directory: /home/shift/pedgainmodcalc
Type:
phat <ENTER>
At prompt , root [0] , type:
.x gaincalc_mod_auto.C(<RunNumber>,<SequenceNumber>) <ENTER>
eg: .x gaincalc_mod_auto.C(2231,0)
The default name of the DAQ data directory is /mnt/data, so if the data is mounted elsewhere there you can type:
.x gaincalc_mod_auto.C(<RunNumber>,<SequenceNumber>,<DAQDataDirectory>)
The progam then finds the disk number your data file is located on, and lets you know where it found it. If it does not find it, it stops. So then check the data is still on the DAQ.
You will be asked questions about the defaults, see Gaincalc_mod defaults questions, if happy just keep hitting return, else follow directions and make changes as required
You will see an output of directories (See Example of running gaincalc_mod.C)
You should see output about connecting to data base:

        GetFECDetectorFromMapDB: FECDetector ver. 4.800000 created out of SensorDB map
You should see output regading the pedestal calculation proceedure:
In one of the following three forms:
1) Success
2) Failure
3) Problems for X channels, but as within tolerances continuing.
You should see output regarding the gain determination proceedure
How many channels had bad fits..
You should see information about writing gain constants to data base
eg:
Writing FEC Detector Gain to Oracle
Successfully writen FEC Detector and gain to Oracle
Exit the phat by typing:
.q <RETURN>

Gaincalc_mod_auto Default Questions

You will be asked if you want to use the default initialization file:
        Default initialization file name =./GainCalcModDefaults.dat
        If you want to use the default file hit <RETURN> else enter new
        (Yes = <RETURN> : No = any character)
This is the file in which the initial default values to calculate the prepedestal are set. Just hit <RETURN>.
You SHOULD NEVER change these values in the file without contacting Nigel first.
You will then see a description of the values used in determining the prepedestal constants
as well as their current(default) values. You will be asked :
Do you want to use the current parameters for all runs?
(Yes = <RETURN> : No = any character)
Type: <RETURN> if want to use these values
else if Type : n<RETURN> then hit <RETURN> to the next question, and change values as instructed.
Steps 1 and 2 will be repeated but now for the pedestal and gain calculation parameters.(See Example of running gaincalc_mod.C)
