The analysis consists of two stages:
- The first is zero supression an cluster finding done with "apvdaq_analysis_fadc" (Labwindows/CVI application)
- The second stage is hit time reconstruction done with ROOT. (hitfit)
Both are installed on EUDETMAC.
apvdaq_analysis_fadc:
- start apvdaq_analysis_fadc within the virtal Windows XP machine (parallels).
- select a runfile, e.g. run0001.dat
- select a propper calibration file, default is "cal002.out"
- select pedestal correction file, default is "pedcorr001.ped"
- enable "generate hit file and save results"
- click "Start"
- The result of the analyis is a file containing all hits above threshold, the filename is "xxxxxxx_cluster.hit", where xxxxxxx is the run name
- The data structure of the file is described at http://elog.hephy.at/testbeam-SPS08/04
- The file is located in the same folder as the raw data file (= data)
hitfit:
- Once apvdaq_analysis_fadc is finished, start a console window and change into the directory /Volumes/Data/eudet/APVDAQ
- execute ./hitfitrun nnnn, where nnnn is the run number
- results: file with fitted hits (data structure see http://elog.hephy.at/testbeam-SPS08/04) as well as several plots.
- file name: xxxxxxx_cluster.hit.fit, the file is located in the subdirectory output.
