This page gives some tips for using FRED with the Beam test software releases, but also with any other GLAST software release.
The page is devided in 3 sections.
- Setting the environment variables to use a specific software package
- Useful macro to select the events you want to display with FRED
- Setting FRED GLAST panel to visualize the desired data
1 - Setting the environment variables to use a specific software package
The software to analyze GLAST data is pretty complex. It involves several (similar but with subtle differences)
release packages and many different release versions. In order to add more complexity to the issue, different
release packages run with different root versions, and different programs might be running with different
shell flavours. That implies that one needs to be careful when changing software package; the chances
of working with a not properly set package (i.e. wrong libraries) are not negligible.
In this section you can find a set of scripts and a root macro that help setting the environment variables
in a more or less systematic and controlled way.
