How to make testvectors

(instructions from Wendy:)
To generate the test vectors, you simply need to compile and run the simulator with the correct RCP parameters. Here are the usual instructions:


setup D0RunII t02.33.00
setup d0cvs
newrel -t t02.33.00 t02.33.00
cd t02.33.00
addpkg -h l2stt_fitting
addpkg -h l2stt_util
addpkg -h l2stt_analyze
addpkg -h tsim_l2stt
gmake all >& compile.log
d0setwa
cd tsim_l2stt/rcp
emacs tsim_l2stt.rcp -> to turn on the test vector switches
emacs ReadEvent.rcp  -> to set the data file and number of events
cd ../test
chmod u+x Setup.sh
chmod u+x Runme.sh
./Setup.sh (only need to do this once for a new release)
./Runme.sh >& out.log &

I've attached the full tsim_l2stt.rcp file for your reference.
Here are the relevant switches:


// Processing Switches
//////////////////////

bool doSMT      = yes
bool doL1CTT    = yes
bool doFRC      = yes
bool doSTC      = yes
        bool doClustering = yes
        bool doRoads      = yes
bool doTFC      = no
bool doLevel2   = no
bool doLevel3   = no

I recommend turning off the fitting for STC test vector generation, since you are going to use a huge LUT and there will be a memory problem if the TFC LUTs are also created.

You'll have to edit the selectByList accordingly...

// Test Vector Switches
///////////////////////

int  doSMTTestVectors   = 1     // 0 = No, 1 = Meena
bool annotateTestVectors= no
string  selectBy        = ("sextant", "stc", "fiber")
int     selectByList    = (     0, 0, 0, 0      // sextant
                                0, 0, 1, 1      // stc
                                0, 1, 0, 1)     // fiber

int  doFRCTestVectors = 2       // 0 = No, 1 = John, 2 = Meena, 3 = John+Meena
int  doSTCTestVectors = 2       // 0 = No, 1 = John, 2 = Meena, 3 = John+Meena
int  doTFCTestVectors = 0       // 0 = No, 1 = Yes
.
.
.
// createSTCLut will only create the STCLut.  The use of the
//   STCLut has not been implemented yet.  Once the use of the Lut is
//   implemented, createSTCLut should always be 1 when doRoads is 1.
//   The default value at the moment is 0.  WML 17-Jan-01

int createSTCLut        = 1 // WJT DEBUG

etc.

I have never created the STC Output test vectors in the new format, so the rest of the parameters are as new to me as to you.

If there are problems compiling/building the trigger simulator, Harrison presumably can help. He also wrote this code, so he is the one to answer detailed questions on the RCP parameters and the algorithms.
