Notes

Not all the steering files work with all the versions of the software. This may be getting confusing (e.g. current trunk cannot run the EngineeringRun2015FullRecon.lcsim but work OK with EngineeringRun2015FullRecon_Pass2.lcsim). We are currently not keeping track of what works with what. How can we do better?

Currently the "HPS-EngRun2015-Nominal-v3" detector model does not have an entry in "Detector Geometry Overview". Do we want to keep this method of documenting the geometries?
