Timing Calibration Order
- 2 numbers (ADC, TDC) for each system (BCAL, FCAL etc.) Obtained by lining up the timing peak for all hits at zero. (plugin hl_detector_timing)
- Per channel: 1 number to move the TDC distributions mean to coincide with the ADC distribution mean. Average these offsets and apply to base time for TDC.
- Timewalk
- Make correlated offset to each end of the BCAL to set Z=0 at the center. Add time to one and and subtract same time to other end.
- Make correlated offset to each end of the BCAL to set global time correct. Add same time to both ends.
Concrete Steps in Calibration
macros are located at /group/halld/Users/dalton/BCAL/monitoring/macros/
- Remove 4ns ADC hardware offset (pass 1)
- Run reconstruction with BCAL_TDC_Timing plugin to produce the BCAL_TDC_Offsets/Deltat_raw/ histogram
- Run analysis script over output
- script for single run is macros/extract_ADC_Dt_Zcorr.C
- macros/monitor.py --adc4ns can be used to run over all runs
- Load constants to CCDB table /BCAL/ADC_timing_offsets using python macros/commit_CCDB.py -d output/ADCendDt/correction/ --adc
- Remove 32ns TDC hardware offset (pass 1)
- Set CCDB table /BCAL/TDC_offsets to 0
- Run reconstruction with BCAL_online plugin to produce the /bcal/bcal_Uhit_tdiff_raw_ave histogram (pass 1)
- Run analysis script over output
- script for single run is macros/extract_Uhit_tdiff.C
- macros/monitor.py can be used to run over all runs
- Load constants to CCDB table /BCAL/TDC_offsets using python macros/commit_CCDB.py -d output/tdiff/TDCcorrection/runs/ --tdc -v
- TDC timewalk correction (pass 2)
- Prerequisites:
- Remove 4ns ADC hardware offset
