The xml job configuration file should have the following format

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!-- job optin file for runMuonCalib.exe -->

<!DOCTYPE ifile SYSTEM "$(CALIBGENACDROOT)/xml/ifile.dtd" >

<ifile cvs_Header="$Header: $" cvs_Revision="$Revision: $" >
  <section name="parameters"> input parameters for ACD pedestal and gain calibration
   <item name="instrument" value="LAT">instrument type to be calibrated </item>
   <item name="<parameterName>"value="<parameterValue>"> Various Job Parameter settings, one per item</item>
  </section>
</ifile>

 

 The The following parameter names mirror the command line arguments give above:

...

  • outputPrefix (same as -o)   : output file prefix
  • pedestalFile (same as -p)   : Name of text file with pedestal values
  • gainFile (same as -g)          : Name of text file with gain (AKA mip peak) values

Calibration Output Files

The various calibrations produce output files in both xml  and text format.  Both files consist of headers that give information about the calibration version & data set
and bodies that give the calibration values.

An example calibration header might look like this (in text format)

 

#SYSTEM = acdCalib
#instrument= LAT
#timestamp = Wed Jan 18 16:35:58 2006
#calibType = ACD_ElecGain
#fmtVersion = v1r0p0
#startTime = 135005345:1
#stopTime = 135005389:466011
#triggers = 9796697/10799542
#source = 0
#mode = 0

 

startTime and stopTime show the first and last triggers seen in the data used for this calibration. 

  fmtVersion is the xml (and text) format version.  The should match the dtd in the calibUtil/xml/acdCalib_<fmtVersion>.dtd file.

  triggers shows the number of triggers taken and used for the calibration.

  source and mode don't mean anything yet.
