Clearing data from the module.

Due to power up timing considerations you must also supply code to clear the data from the module. This code invokes the module's CCAENV1x90::Clear member function. This function clears the event fifo and the event buffer memory, but leaves the module programming and setup unchanged.

As usual, where you put this code depends on whether you are using

• Traditional Readout Skeleton
• Production Readout Skeleton

Traditional Readout Skeleton

The Traditional Readout Skeleton provides the clearevt function. This function is supposed to clear all of the digitizing modules used by an experiment, on an event by event basis. clearevt() is shown here including code to clear the data from the CAEN V1x90 module:

void
clearevt ()
{
...
    
  pModule->Clear();
...

}

Production Readout Skeleton

Event segment classes that are used with the production readout skeleton provide a Clear member function. This function should provide code to clear the digitization devices that event segment is responsible for. Sample code for an event segment that manages a single TDC is shown below:

void v1x90segment::Clear()
{
   m_TDC.Clear();
}
