3. October 8, 2002P. Nilsson, SPD General Meeting3 Software Updates Offline analysis code is located in the SPD account on the LXPLUS cluster (standard password). Other software available by mail request – also installed in the lab computers

4. October 8, 2002P. Nilsson, SPD General Meeting4 Threshold Scan Analysis – M.C. Version Selectable number of chips (1-10) Many changes in the underlying ROOT macros (25 files) ROOT menu Ex. Threshold distributions (PostScript file are automatically generated)

9. October 8, 2002P. Nilsson, SPD General Meeting9 Test Beam 2002 Web – elogbook Electronic logbook with connections to Microsoft Access database via ASP/VBScript – supplement to paper logbook, not yet replacement HOWEVER Compared to paper logbook, elogbook is in many ways superior E.g. easy access – world wide but can be IP restricted, no need to make paper copies, searchable, cheap color pictures!!!, etc..

Nilsson, SPD General Meeting12 Offline Analysis In collaboration with Karoly Banicz Code written by Karoly Major upgrade from last year (3 planes N planes) NEW: Can now be run in batch mode that will disable the histogram displays and the interactive root session lxplus > bsub TestBeam –batch input.par Job is submitted to default queue To view status of submitted job: lxplus > bjobs 141374 JOBID USER STAT QUEUE FROM_HOST EXEC_HOST JOB_NAME SUBMIT_TIME 141374 pnilsso EXIT 8nm lxplus063 lxbatch545 *h input.par Oct 5 21:01 Output data file is stored where specified in the input.par file. When the job is finished, LSF will send an email to the user. Code is stored in the SPD account on the LXPLUS, in the ~/analysis/release directory. Will only run on a Linux system Information/help on how to run the analysis code can be found in the accompanying README file LSF Batch Commands (HOWTO) SOLIS SACERDOTIBUS
