06/26/2007 Added Missing ET information to Lego view.

To use this new feature do the following (cut and paste):

ssh fcdflnx7
setup cdfsoft2 6.1.4int9
setenv USESHLIBS 1
newrel -t $BFCURRENT evd_{$BFCURRENT}
cd evd_{$BFCURRENT}
addpkg RootEventDisplay
addpkg RootMods
cvs update -D "6/27/07 20:00" RootEventDisplay
cvs update -D "6/27/07 20:00" RootMods

gmake RootMods.evd
which evd
Open Lego Physics Towers Et display and SetDisplayParticles to true by clicking right mouse button (in View mode).

By default "fake tower" showing Missing ET value will be shown at positive eta. To change settings, edit your ~/.evdrc file:

#to have no "fake towers" shown:
TEdMet.ShowFakeTowers                   0
#to have "fake tower" at positive eta:
TEdMet.ShowFakeTowers                   1
#to have "fake tower" at negative eta:
TEdMet.ShowFakeTowers                   2
#to have "fake tower" both at positive and negative etas:
TEdMet.ShowFakeTowers                   3
04/11/2007 Made fixes/changes as requested by the tracking group (request summarized by Thomas Phillips):

The default value for the t0 (for the COT hits) is set to 0.

To make the debugging easier the ability to identify COT cells has been added. To use this feature:

1. in a View mode select SetDisplayWires
2. zoom on the wires - SuperLayer indices and cell indices will appear

  if you want to change the font size add/edit this entry in your ~/.evdrc file:
TCotDisplay.CotCellsTextSize            10
02/08/2007 Read HowTo select out about a dozen events and use evd to show them.
02/07/2007 Elliot Lipeles shared his scripts to pick multiple events with other EventDisplay users.
  • go to fcdflnx7 (or another fcdflnx node)
  • Get tar.gz file from here
  • unpack tar.gz file as "tar -zxvf eventfetch.tgz"
  • setup cdfsoft2 6.1.4
  • Run the script as
    ./eventfetch wz.evts wz.output
    where wz.evts is a sample file with list of events to get, wz.output is an output file with the events
  • If there are too many events in the list, your process on fcdflnx node will be killed (maximum time for a job is 30 minutes)
  • Go through the events with evd as
    evd wz.output

For additional information please see Elliot's page.

To pick an event you can also use pickEvent script from Eric Wicklund
