Source Code

Comparing to what you may have been accustom to from previous years (before 2009), the sources have moved and are currently located in cvs under OnlTools/OnlinePlots/.

Currently, you should be in the 'dev' environment to build the online plots (run stardev).

Installation

1. check out the latest version
   • cvs co OnlTools/OnlinePlots
2. build
   • source OnlTools/OnlinePlots/Scripts/CompileOnlinePlots.csh
3. edit runtime script
   
   • vim EvpPlotServer.C

You may also need to edit some of the variables in the .rootrc file CompileOnlinePlots.csh generates. For detailed information about the arguments in EvpPlotServer.C, see Expert Modes

For normal testing against an old run, in EvpPlotServer.C just edit the line after the "-path" option in argsS[] to specify either a run number in /a/ or a daq file.  Then uncomment the
evpServerMain::main line.

You may want to make a copy of this file for running the presenter.  Just make sure that evpServerMain::main is commented out and evpMainPresenter::main is in.

Starting the server should be done with

 root4starN -b -q EvpPlotServer.C
