- Scan section: Once you are done with selecting files, you should push one of the "Scan" buttons to connect and scan the files. If the file is large, the "Scan File(s)" button will be disabled. Push the "Quick Scan" to get a summary of the file contents.
Note, for most purposes, a "Quick Scan" is sufficient. If you need to scan the whole file, e.g. if you want to know the total number of events, number of calibration cycles, etc, you can enable the "Scan File(s)" button.
Once the file(s) have been scanned, a new GUI will pop up and show information about the file content and help with further processing of the data in pyana.
| The main window before any file selection. Click on "File Browser..." to select file(s). |
| A standard file browser pops up. Navigate the file browser till you find the xtc files for your experiment. (Remember, if this seems cumbersome, you can also give the file name(s) as argument to xtcexplorer when you first launch the GUI) |
| Mark the files you want to look at (Hold down the Ctrl-key to select more than one file). Note, you should only look at one run number at a time, since different runs might have different configurations. |
| This is the main window after a file has been selected. File name and file size is shown in the GUI. If the file is not too big, you can click the "Scan File(s)" button to get exact contents of the whole file. If the file is big, it's better to do a "Quick Scan" which will tell you all you need to know (except count number of events and calibration cycles). |
