Copying the appropriate files from the working readout program

Copying the appropriate files from the working readout program

An old style working readout program will typically have:

• A Makefile
• A ReadoutMain.cpp application object entry point file.
• A file derived from skeleton.cpp that contains the event and scaler readout software.
• Additional source and header files that define additional classes and functions to assist in the readout process.

In the example we are describing we will assume that the original skeleton.cpp has been modified and is now called gasN4_daq.cpp. We will also assume there is a configuration library named param.cpp with an associated header named param.h

First, what not to copy:

• Do not copy your old Makefile.
• Do not copy your ReadouMain.cpp file.

Copy all files that are experiment dependent. If some files have names that conflict with files in the production readout skeleton, be sure to rename these files as you copy them. In our example case, we need to copy:

• gasN4_daq.cpp
• param.h
• param.cpp

This is done as follows:

cp oldaq/gasN4\_daq.cpp .
cp oldaq/param.h           .
cp oldaq/param.cpp        .
