This page tries to summarize the status of the eTOF software.

Done:

• integration of data storage classes into StEvent (StETofDigi, StETofHit, StETofHeader, StETofCollection)
• StETofDigiMaker reads in .daq files and stores the digi inforamtion into StEvent

Under review:

• StETofCalibMaker, StETofHitMaker, StETofMatchMaker
• StEtofPidTraits
• data storage classes in MuDsts
• simple version of StETofSimMaker
• data storage clases in PicoDsts

Under development:

• StETofPidMaker (?) that decides which start time is used for the time-of-flight measurement, also calculates eTOF start time from matched tracks in 2019/20
• database tables for calibrations & electronic id to geometry mapping  +  changes in the makers to fetch the relevant values from the database

Needs update for next year:

• event builder update on CBM side to scale from one sector to the full wheel of eTOF modules
• online monitoring code needs to be adapted to cover all 12 sectors
• offline monitoring via StETofQAMaker (?)

Some milestones:
