Folks,

  It is taking a while to wrestle all the details to the 
  ground in the display package.  I am focussing on the side
  and top views, which include all pieces of the apparatus.
  So the display is not ready to distribute yet, but if I 
  had a few pointers to interesting runs (different energies,
  different beam particles), I can produce some more
  FCal displays in the meantime.

  There is also an accompanying small analysis package that
  produces paw histograms.  I have been using this to 
  study the BPC's and other bits, in anticipation of finding
  chamber coeffients, etc.  It too is "seeing"  some parts
  of the data record, and not others.

  I have included the beginnings of a quick guide below,
  mostly to the analysis package, since it is currently
  more runnable than the display package.  I will 
  continue on these two threads in the morning (in about
  eight hours from now), with the aim of getting a 
  distributable display tomorrow, and update the guide
  to include it.

  Again, pointers to interesting runs will be appreciated.
  Thanks.

      Cheers,

        Mike

                   QUICK GUIDE - Version 0.0

To get the software, on pcfcal01, copy the contents of 
/home/shupe/tb03 to your local directory.


                   HISTOGRAM ANALYSIS PACKAGE

To build, or rebuild the analysis package:

   source tb03_analyze.lnk

To run the analysis on a given run:

  (1) Create an input file by copying run1444.inp to
      your runXXXX.inp and editing it to change the
      run number to the runXXXX.dat file you want
      to analyze on raid/data/phys

  (2) Run the job as follows:

      tb03_analyze.out <runXXXX.inp >logXXXX.txt &

      At the end of this, you have a log file with
      the header information in it and a histogram file,
      tb03_hists.dat.  To preserve the latter:

      mv tb03_hists.dat runXXXX_hists.dat

To get a hardcopy of the histograms:

  (1) Edit the run1444.kumac file to match the XXXX number
      above.

  (2) Run paw, and

      >exec runXXXX.kumac

  (3) This will create runXXXX_hists.ps for you to print.

Status:
  (1) There are BPC histograms with beam profiles, but the
      calibrations have not yet been applied so the X,Y 
      positions are unphysical (about a factor of 2 too big)
  (2) I don't have the FCal information, seen in the displays,
      routed properly to the histograms.  In the works...
  (3) Many counter and bit histograms are empty.  Some of
      it is my problem (the trigger bits appear in the displays),
      and some may be data not there yet??  In the works...


                        DISPLAY PACKAGE

The display package is not yet ready for prime time.  Geometry
is still being worked on, but FCal displays can be produced
on request.
