getting started with ED

• if not already setup do setup cdfsoft2 5.3.1
  
• just type evd filename
  where 'filename' is the name of your ROOT file
When you start evd like this the tcl file /tmp/evd.tcl.$USER is created.

---

or...

• start evd.exe tclfile -g
  
where 'tclfile' is the name of your tcl file

---

or...

• start evd.exe -g
  
• from AC++> talk to DHInput module to input your file
• from AC++> prompt type root
  
• from root> prompt type begin(1);
  
• after some time consuming initializations EventDisplay should pop up a manager window
  
• click on 'Window' menu item. Submenu pops up. Click on the desired view
  
• type continue(nev); to continue processing
  
• in the prompt window you are confronted with root interpreter language which, in contrast to PAW, is C++. So all your commands must be C++ statements.
• try typing help()
• if something goes wrong, send mail to Andrei Loginov
  

• if not already setup do setup cdfsoft2 development
  
• cp $CDFSOFT2_DIR/RootMods/examples/mon/tcl/Monitor.tcl .
  edit Monitor.tcl so it has these parameter settings:
  thePartitionId set 1      (choose appropriate partition 0-7)
  theIpcBaseKey set 16896 (this number corresponds to user csl_dev)
  inputTrybos set true      (online system uses trybos data format)
  
• bodau30> mon.exe -g
• AC++> source Monitor.tcl
• AC++> root
• root[0] begin(1)




The Event Display consumer will attempt to make a connection with the CSL process running on b0dau31. If this is done successfully, you should see the following lines:

Entering APPConsumerInputModule::nextEvent

APPConsumerInputModule::nextEvent :about to request an event

APPConsumerInputModule::nextEvent :about to receive event


If the CSL has events passing through it, then the event display main window should pop up. For help on using the Event Display, see the help section of the page. Help

If you (or someone else) are not sending events to the CSL, via the hardware event builder or the software event builder or a standalone program to simulate a Level 3 Sender, then you should not expect to see anything with the Event Display.
