Basic concepts

histo2yod converts SIGI data into TDAS data so that you can analyze your simualtions with YODA. This allows for easy comparison of experimental and simulated data by use of the same hoc files. As yet, histo2yod is only suitable for EDDA simulations. Like sigi, histo2yod can be customized by editing the converter.ini, devided into sections as shown below.
The Wandler sections are all on the same level of the tree.

The converterRun section

The converterRun section looks like the following:
[ converterRun ]
SFWandler   = SF_WANDLER
SRWandler   = SR_WANDLER
HRUWandler  = HRU_WANDLER
HRDWandler  = HRD_WANDLER
FRIDWandler = FRID_WANDLER
FRIUWandler = FRIU_WANDLER
FRADWandler = FRAD_WANDLER
FRAUWandler = FRAU_WANDLER
Trigger     = TRIGGER
Fera Compr. = 1
Cont. Type  = 9
Cont. SType = 2
Cont. Run#  = 1
Cont. Exp.# = 6
XXX_WANDLER
is the name of the section defining the settings (e.g. conversion factors, attenuation length etc.) of the signal converters.
TRIGGER
is either trigger(1) or EDDATrigger("TRIGGER_SECTION"), the former being the always triggering trigger that does not depend on a trigger section and the latter being the logical AND of the so called Latten-1-1-Trigger and the kinematical trigger defined in the trigger section TRIGGER_SECTION represented as prediction table.
Fera Compr.
if equal to 1/0 histo2yod writes Fera data in compressed/uncompressed mode.
Cont. XXX
Type and SType correspond to selector.db, Run# and Exp# have no real importance.

The Wandler sections

The Wandler sections contain a high number of lines of the forms

SignalWandler_N = ZAdc_XXX_WithPed( ... )

SignalWandler_N = PhiAdcWithPed( ... )
_N
an integer number.
_XXX_
Up or Down for slabs front and down respectively.
( ... )
comma separated list; ZAdc_XXX_WithPed and PhiAdcWithPed take the following seven respectively eight parameters:

ZAdc_XXX_WithPedPhiAdcWithPed
1.trigger threshold / ADC channels1.
2.attenuation length / cm2.
3.conversion factor distribution / sqrt(GeV)
actually sqrt(sigma)
3.
4.minimal z / cmradius / cm4.
minimal azimuth / rad 5.
5.conversion factor / ADC channels/GeV6.
6.maximum ADC value / channels7.
7.pedestal / ADC channels8.

The Trigger section

The Trigger section is neccessary if you want to use the EDDATrigger. It looks like the following and is best created with the calctabl-tool.
[ Trigger0.793 ]
min. symetr. Ring = 13
max. symetr. Ring = 15
vorhersage1 = 0xfe00
vorhersage2 = 0xff00
vorhersage3 = 0x3f80
vorhersage4 = 0x1fc0
vorhersage5 = 0x0fe0
vorhersage6 = 0x07f0
vorhersage7 = 0x03f8
vorhersage8 = 0x03f8
vorhersage9 = 0x01fc
vorhersage10 = 0x01fe
vorhersage11 = 0x00ff
vorhersage12 = 0x007f
vorhersage13 = 0x003f
vorhersage14 = 0x001f
vorhersage15 = 0x000f
vorhersage16 = 0x0007
