Having an event display running for pass8 development
Johan BREGEON posted on Dec 10, 2009

This page is meant to gather information about how to run Fred and Wired event displays, in particular for the purpose of pass8 development.

FRED

Running

  • We could have Fred working on Scientific Linux 5 - 32 bit using the new version of Fred and Fox available in GLAST_EXT/rhel4_gcc34 and suggested by Joanne.
  • For this purpose override the Fred version and add the fox/lib in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH :
    Environment to modify
    export Fred_DIR="${GLAST_EXT}//Fred/v0r100p1/gcc34/"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GLAST_EXT/fox/1.4.34-gl1/gcc34/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  • Using the standard fredOptions.txt or readAndDisplay.txt work fine.
  • We tested the three different possible configurations
    • Fred standalone, opening an event stored in an heprep tar ball
    • Starting Fred when running MC with Gleam
    • Reading back events stored in digi/recon files
  • The following GlastRelease were tested sucessfully:
    GlastRelease-v15r47p1
    GlastRelease-v17r37p0

Caveats

  • When Fred starts it spits out a lot of warning, but everything seems to work well so far...
  • I am not sure we'll want to look into that in details, anyone knows ruby ?

Wired

  • I have started a discussion with Max and Tony about being able to use Wired instead of Fred directly from Gleam.
  • Here is Tony's answer, no big deal but need someone to work on it:

    Hi Johan, in principle WIRED can easily run the same way that Fred does, connecting to your locally running gleam. It should have no issues with running on windows, mac or any flavor of Linux.
    The only problem is that we have no one with any time to figure out what the instructions are for making it happen. I suggest waiting until Richard is back next week and I will discuss it with him then.

  • The advantage of Wired is that it's Java so potentially it's easier to make some developments if needed.
