h1. How to decode MWPC data

The decoder of MWPC can finally create root tree.

The decoder is located at  /home/a-compton/MWPC/analysis/track/anatka.C

MWPC calibration is stored at /home/a-compton/MWPC/analysis/track/anatk.inp

It includes the reference positions of each chamber, also the pedestal of each TDC module.  

Most importantly, it tells the time cut value which will be used to determine if a hit is out of time.

Here is how is looks:

How to run the decoder:  

step 1):  synchronize the raw data file    /home/a-compton/MWPC/cpdata.csh

step 2) run decoder:   /home/a-compton/MWPC/analysis/track/wctree.csh

A) It will ask you which file you want to decode, you make your choice here, usually

the last file is the latest run.

B) After you select which file to decode, it will read the first line to tell you what is the 

possible run number. Some times this value is wrong. You can type in the correct run 

number if you are sure, otherwise just copy the run number.

C) What is the output?

 root tree will be stored at  /home/a-compton/MWPC/wcnt_xxx.root,  where xxx is the run number.

beam position figure will be store at   /home/a-compton/MWPC/log/BeamPosition_xxx.png

=======================================================

The root file includes a lot of monitoring histogram, also the tree named 'M':

Here is the tree branches:

 spill           -->spill number

 evn           -->event number

 etime        -->event time relative to spill start

 nhit_raw    -->number of raw hits

 wire_raw   -->wire id of raw hits 

 tdc_raw    --> tdc of raw hits 

 nhit_tcut   -->number of hits after time cut

 wire_tcut  -->wire id of hits after time cut 

 tdc_tcut    --> tdc values after subtracted the pedestal and pass time cut

 nx0           -->number of hits in chamber0 X plane

 x0             -->X positions of chamber0 X plane

 ny0           -->number of hits in chamber0 Y plane

 y0             -->Y positions of chamber0 Y plane

 nx1           -->number of hits in chamber1 X plane

 x1             -->X positions of chamber1 X plane

 ny1           -->number of hits in chamber1 Y plane

 y1             -->Y positions of chamber1 Y plane

 nx2           -->number of hits in chamber2 X plane

 x2             -->X positions of chamber2 X plane

 ny2           -->number of hits in chamber2 Y plane

 y2             -->Y positions of chamber2 Y plane

 nx3           -->number of hits in chamber3 X plane

 x3             -->X positions of chamber3 X plane

 ny3           -->number of hits in chamber3 Y plane

 y3             -->Y positions of chamber3 Y plane
