The data of all runs are stored on eudetmac001.cern.ch:
APVDAQ: /Volumes/Data/eudet/APVDAQ/silc/data
Telescope data: /Volumes/Data/eudet/Data/testing
all data will be saved to an external Firewire disk (Vienna Backup) and to CASTOR |

|
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.

| testbeam is over. DUTs and APVDAQ have been dismounted and will be shipped back to Vienna. EUDET telescope is still in H6B and taking data for alignment and pedestal during the night. |
