Back to TrigSimCert Home

The TrigSimCert principal RCP is found in the trigsimcert package under trigsimcert/rcp/CertAnalyze.rcp. Modifying the rcp allows the user to

• select the trigger levels
• change the name of the output root file
• select the compression level
• select the frequency at which the output root tree is saved (for online monitoring)
• select the L1L2Chunk and the L3Chunk

The most important feature is that last one, the chunk selector. By default, since t04.05.00/p17, the chunk selector is in auto mode. Then, for data, trigsimcert uses the online chunk for both L1L2 and L3. For MC, it uses the offline (or simulated) chunk. It also runs all three certification levels and outputs a file named trigsimcert.root.

If you want to produce trigsimcert root trees with properties that differ from the default ones, you need to get the rcp directory of trigsimcert from CVS (the steps marked by * need only be done the first time around).

      *setup d0cvs

      *cvs co trigsimcert/rcp appropriate_version

      runTrigSimCert -filelist=your_filelist -localrcp -locafwkrcp

The format of CertAnalyze.rcp is the following:

      string PackageName = "CertAnalyze"
 
      // turn on/off three levels of certification plots
      bool certL1 = true
      bool certL2 = true
      bool certL3 = true
 
      string outputFile = "trigsimcert.root"
      int compressionLevel = 1
      int autosave = 0        // 0: no autosave. n: save root tree every n events
 
      string L3ChunkChoice = "auto"    // auto, online or offline
 
      string L1L2ChunkChoice = "auto" // auto, "" (for pre-p17 data), online, offline or anything you used

To turn off a certification plot level, for example level 2, transform to

      bool certL2 = false

To access any offline chunk for data transform to

      string L3ChunkChoice = "offline"

      string L1L2ChunkChoice = "offline"

To allow the tree to be readable regularly while processing, for example in online monitoring, modify the autosave property. When the changes to the rcp file are done, save and run TrigSimCert as shown above for those changes to take effect.
