8. 06.03.2006Preparation for CERN TB - Erika Garutti8 General strategy  Common way to look at the data (Marius) online / semi-online display feedback from fast-offline analysis  Common place where to store info (Sven) online logbook online documentation (beam usage, manuals, crew instructions) online updated plots (# ev. collected, detector efficiency)  Common software for calibration and analysis collected in one place (?) easy to access same format (MARLIN) requires common coordination (maybe analysis coordinator ?)  documentation, documentation, documentation

9. 06.03.2006Preparation for CERN TB - Erika Garutti9 The pre-preparation Getting ready for CERN starts already @ DESY: The DESY test beam Apr.-Jun. can be the test bench for combined readout (DAQ) combined online monitoring first level reconstruction software integration of ECAL – HCAL software train shift crews for operating the two detectors !!! Let’s exploit this chance at best
