To compile for a .sh shell execute source SOURCEME.sh in your terminal from the GRSISort Directory

To avoid running this script every session, add the following to your ~/.bashrc

export GRSISYS=/path/to/dir/of/GRSISort
export PATH=$GRSISYS/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GRSISYS/libraries:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

To compile using a .crsh or .tcsh shell execute source SOURCEME.csh in your terminal from the GRSISort Directory

To avoid running this script every session, add the following in your ~/.cshrc or ~/.tcshrc

setenv GRSISYS /path/to/dir/of/GRSISort
set path = ($path $GRSISYS/bin)
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$GRSISYS/libraries

Warning: compiling in csh has been known to be an issue. Use sh if possible.

Once complete type make in the GRSISort directory

Running

grsisort will open up a root session in the grsi environment

Commands:

Unpacking the MIDAS File

The strategy used by GRSISort is to unpack the MIDAS file and convert the information into a ROOT Tree format. This tree contains TFragments and is essentially all of the information from the MIDAS File with higher compression and accessibility.

grsisort NAME_OF_MIDAS_FILE.mid -> Converts the midas file into a fragment tree

Single char options can now strung together, simular to other linux programs word length options must have -- in front, also simular to other linux programs

Currently accepted flags for the midas sort:

• --suppress_error, suppresses errors from failed data parsing appearing in stdout
• --log_error, sends errors from failed data parsing to file, will not send errors if supress error option is also used!
• --no_waveforms, does not add the wave form stored for each event in the mid file to the fragment tree
• -q, quits the grsi environment after completing the midas sort
• --work_harder, inputting a <macro>.C file, runs that macro on the sorted file

If multiple .mid files are included at the time of sort, this can even include the wildcard character *, grsisort will sequentially sort all of these MIDAS files and write them to their own fragment trees.

Sorting the Fragment Tree

grsisort [-as ] NAME_OF_FRAGMENT_TREE.root -> Starts sorting the fragment tree into (-s) user defined hists and/or (-a) analysis trees.

• Histograms are defined in users/UserInitObj.h
• How to fill the histogram is defined in users/UserFillObj.h

If -a or -s are left off of the command, the fragment tree will be loaded into the grsi environment for the user to enjoy.

Currently accepted flags for the fragment tree sort:

• -a, creates an analysis tree to be used for doing a full analysis of the data
• -s, sorts the fragment tree into user defined hits.
• -q, quits the grsi environment after completeing the fragment sort
• --no_speed, suppresses the output from the PROOF speedometer
• --work_harder, inputting a <macro>.C file, runs that macro on the sorted file

If multiple fragment trees are included at the time of the sort, or are created from multiple MIDAS files during the autosort, they will be sorted sequentially. However, it should be noted that although different fragment trees will be sorted into different analysis trees, if a -s sort is called, all of the fragment trees will be histogrammed into a single hists.root. If you would like to output multiple hists.root files, please run an external script to call grsisort multiple times.

Utilities

Utilities, such as analysis scripts, asre kept in the util directory. Below are a list of useful utilities and how to use them.

• Root2Rad, Converts the 1D and 2D histograms in a root file to Radware .spe and .mat formats To compile:

   g++ Root2Rad.cxx -oRoot2Rad `root-config --cflags --libs`

To Run:

   ./Root2Rad NAME_OF_ROOT_FILE.root

Scripts

• auto_eff.C, Reads in a root file and calculates the efficiency of each HPGe Crystal based on a specfic source and activity
