PuffModule - howto avoid crashes etc.




Main known problems in the evd could be due to the Silicon Modules/software 
and due to the PuffModule.


Add this lines to your tcl file to avoid PuffModule related crases: talk PuffModule dontPuff add CdfJetColl exit thanks to
M.Herndon for this hint.
If you see towers with zero height in the PlugDisplay, check that PuffModule is enabled. To do this: root [1] .q AC++> mod list if you see * PuffModule Selectively restores the transient event data it means that PuffModule is enabled, otherwise type mod enable PuffModule Disabled PuffModule could be the reason of other possible crashes. On the other hand, there were some data where you have to disable PuffModule to avoid crashes. So just be attentive.
If PuffModule is disabled, you are to disable Silicon related data processing in the evd. The easiest way is to set ReadSiData false(from AC++ prompt): mod talk evd DataMenu ReadAllData set false ReadSiData set false ReadMuData set true ReadXftData set true ReadCalData set true ReadPlugData set true ReadCesData set true ReadClcData set true ReadBSCData set true exit exit for information about DataMenu look at How to select data you read using DataMenu In addition one may disable Silicon-related modules(from AC++): mod disable SiClusteringModule mod disable SiPatternRecModule
