Detailed Description

Writes a pedestal file for MC data.

This application writes a file with pedestal and noise data for Monte Carlo data. All pedestals are 2048 and the noise is 3 ADC counts. This file has the same format as the regualar pedestal program and can be read in CalServer for GNAM and the event display.

Format

The file starts with the number of chambers in the first line. After that, there are 5 * 192 * (number of chambers) channels, with one line per channel.

Each line starts with the channel ID in hex, followed by 3 characters that identify the chamber, the direction and the layer. This information is contained in the channel ID, but repeated to make the file more readable. Next on the line is the channel number in decimal. This is followed by the pedestal value and its error, and the noise value an its error. The errors are the statistical uncertainties from the gaussian fit. Here are the first few lines of such a file:
