Vped test 05/05/2023
I ran the test according: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog/rjreed/epd-vped-scans-2019
In the Zeros.txt file sped is set to -127
Path to files with used settings:
Run taking:
Zeros20123.txt, vped -127 (pedestal rhicclock clean): 24125021
vped = -20, pedAsPhys: 24125022
vped = -10, pedAsPhys: 24125023
vped = 0, pedAsPhys: 24125024
vped = 10, pedAsPhys: 24125025
vped = 20, pedAsPhys: 24125026
Camac crate off, pedAsPhys: 24125027 (there are 2 crates, have to enter the STAR hall
I added two runs:
We did not get some point for -20, -10, and 0 in order to do the linear fit we need more point than 1 :) so we extend vped to higher values, the settings files used for runs are added to the same folder as previous ones
Zeros20123.txt, vped -127 (pedestal rhicclock clean): 24128063
Vped 40 : 24128064
Vped 60 : 24128065
Rhich clock Clean: 24128066
Data analysis:

output: mapped_epdhist.2412502.root
send to my computer (maybe there is better way to do this):
echo "mail text" | mailx -s "mapped_epdhist" -a mapped_epdhist.2412502.root mzs***@gmail.com
** edit 2024: there is a better way:
sftp mstefaniak@sftp.sdcc.bnl.gov.

edit: I did not "hadd" files. sent one by one and then analyse on my laptop.
some comments:
In order to avoid memory leak when you overwrite histograms good idea is to name histos differently using Form:
TH1* hOff = new TH1F(Form("hOff2_c%db%dch%d",i,j,k),Form("hOff2_c%db%dch%d",i,j,k),1,-1,1);
I had to change the SaveAs to save many pdf and then merge them, since on "my computer" (my favourite student's explanation:) ) it does not work properly - I guess the version of ROOT or some root settings.
New output attached.
edit:
I added 4th crate :) New plots available.
====================================================================================
This you can skip
Working on new configuration file
First an output from the Vped test - attached and also can be found in the TUFF map folder (where we keep the config files)
The quality of the first vped setting was verified by running:
Rhic clock clean with crate on: 24130049
Rhic clock clean with crate off: 24130050
The pedestals are compared and output in the file: Pedestals_Compare24130049.pdf
Some running needs to be done for few channels - in progress!
End of skipping
====================================================================================
*** FINAL VPED OUTPUT ***
We are within the +-5 limit of the vped spread between pedestals with camac crate on and off (only 2 channels are 5 difference, rest is smaller :) )
The new configuration file (just vipers for now): EPD_TUFFvped11may23.txt
The comparisons for pedestals crate on vs off: Pedestals_Compare24131049.pdf
The file is uploaded, so from now (Thu, 11 May 2023, 12:08) we have this file set as default configuration (until the new one will come...).
====================================================================================
I attached some useful macros for the future generations and for me probably because I will do that next year as well (attached files are .txt you have to change to .C)
- comaprePeds.C : based on "DrawPed.C", firstly run_pedeq.sh is used for preparing the root files with pedestal histos, take a look here https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog/mstefaniak/Quick-pedestal-check
- /net/onlhome.starp.bnl.gov/ldaphome/mstefaniak/sendToMaria.sh : speed up the pedestal files sending to your mail
- GetPPTT.C: input Eq, Qt, Channel -> output ew, PP, TT, uses the updated mapping for 2023 from file ttpp_boards.txt
