Run products placed in experiment/current

The SEETFDAQ system produces several run products. A run product is a file, or link, that is placed in the  /experiment/current directory. Most of these files are saved by the system in  /experiment/runn directories.

The following are the standard run products:

runn-4096.evt A file containing a log of all events taken by the system.
ControlInfo.lis A file that contains the values of some of the control system variables at the end of the run. The set of variables that are recorded are listed, one per line, in  /config/channels.dat
config A link to  /config that causes a snapshot of that directory to be saved. The  /config directory contains the entire experiment software configuration.
scint.log A CSV file that provides time stamped scintillator scaler rate values. This file can be imported to e.g. MS-Excel.
see.trend.*.spec The contents of the SEE scaler trendline spectra at the end of the run.

Two other directories just below the experiment home diretory contain other analysis products. These files are created outside the experiment/runn directories due to synchronization issues.

scalerfiles This directory contains the sums of all the scalers over the life of each run. Files are named: runn.scalers where n is the run number.
savedspectra This directory contains spectra saved at the end of each run in all cases n is the run number. Note the ppac spectra are only meaningful on beam quality runs.
see.ppac.x-runn.spec - The ppac x position spectrum.
see.ppac.y-runn.spec - The ppac y position spectrum.
see.ppac.y_v_xn.spec - The ppac x-vs-y position spectrum.
see.sci.counts-runn.spec - The 4 channel scintillator sum spectrum.
see.trend.l-runn.spec - The left scintillator trend spectrum.
see.trend.r-runn.spec - The right scintillator trend spectrum.
see.trend.u-runn.spec - The up scintillator trend spectrum.
see.trend.d-runn.spec - The down scintillator trend spectrum.
