pDUNE Oca Data Analyzer

Software to analyze the data coming from the beam NP02 beam plug tracker. The DAQ is here. This code has been forked from the one originally written by INFN Perugia.

Dependencies

To use the code in your local machine, you need to have:

• ROOT installed in the standard location, meaning /usr/local/,
• json header: json.hpp;
• cmake (minimum 3.17);
• gcc version at least 11, or a recent clang;

If needed, install or update these packages.

Usage

Scripts handle all the steps of compilation, data conversion and analysis. The scripts are located in the scripts folder. Input and output folders are set in a json file, config.json, that can be found in

The script analyzeRuns.sh is the main script to analyze the data. It comes with a --help option to show the available options. Example of usage:

./analyzeRuns.sh -s json/mysettings.json -r SCD_RUN00021_CAL_20240826_160235.dat 

Or you can use the run numbers (not available yet, need to change the daq):

./analyzeRuns.sh -f 10 -l 12

This will analyze the run SCD_RUN00021_CAL_20240826_160235.dat and produce the output in the output folder that has been set in the json file.

Structure

The actual steps that are performed by the scripts are:

• compile the code, stopping execution if the compilation fails;
• convert the raw data into root files using the PAPERO_convert executable;
• create the calibration file, that extracts the pedestal by channel, using the calibration executable;
• read calib and root files and do some analysis, using the dataAnalyzer executable;

Other tools

There is also a rav_viewer executable that can be used to visualize the raw data in a GUI. Other tools for other applications have been dropped, see the fork or other branches for those.
