HowTo select out about a dozen events and use evd to show them

• 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

#for tcsh
source ~cdfsoft/cdf2.cshrc
#for bash
source ~cdfsoft/cdf2.shrc
#setup your favourite version of cdfsoft2
setup cdfsoft2 6.1.4
#to setup default version of cdfsoft2 just do
setup cdfsoft2
#run evd as
evd file_name
#this will create tcl file /tmp/evd.tcl.$USER, and then will start "evd.exe /tmp/evd.tcl.$USER -g"
