Brief overview of the codes

gcrMake

• compiled code – usually run on noric or SLAC farm
• input: list of gcr and merit file locations in XROOTD
• output: ROOT file with filled histograms and text file with event rates
• easy to implement any other analysis (e.g., CNO events through ACD tiles)
• same code runs on data AND simulations

gcrHistos

• interactive code based on a single class, "GcrHistos" (the same used by gcrMake to fill histograms)
• input: ROOT and asci files produced by gcrMake
• output: histograms arranged in panel, fit results, calibration accuracy
• fast (loop on events is already done by gcrMake)
• easy to use: one can zoom in any particular channel, layer, tower etc.
• modular: one can add different data sets
