Introduction

This processor analyses the ZDAB data containing electronics calibration, determines charge and time pedestals and slopes and creates titles files containing these data.

Two files are required:-

ECA_READ.CMD SNOMAN cmd file, which basically defines the input ZDAB files
ECA_DATA.DAT TITLES Bank which sets:-
- Which of the three calibrations to run
- Tolerances for various parameters
- Which crates to include in the calibration
- Range of the number PMT's required in an event to accept that event
- DAQ to pe/ns conversion constants

Output Files

Each calibration has four types of output files:-

TITLES files

PEDESTAL NOMENCLATURE 16 Pedestal TITLES Banks
CHARGE NOMENCLATURE 18 Charge Slope TITLES Banks
TIME NOMENCLATURE 8 Time Slope TITLES Banks

All TITLES files have the same TITLES FORMAT

NTUPLES

The ntuples are each 19x16x32x16 long with the crate, card, channel and cell number accompanying each of the calculated quantities in the TITLES banks.

BINARY files

These contain the identical information that exists in the TITLES banks except that they are written out with a binary FORTRAN WRITE statement for those who like the simple life.
