Detailed Description

A Signal Producer.

This class describes all signal producing elements of a detector. It contains an extractor for the produced signals from the event and a list of the signals it produced.

User settable parameters via CASS.ini

general access to these parameters depends on the detector type:
- In Delaylinedetectors its for
  - MCP: AcqirisDetectors/detectorname%/MCP
  - Layers Wireends: AcqirisDetectors/detectorname%/Layername%/Wireendname%
- In TofDetectors: AcqirisDetectors/detectorname%/MCP

Then the specific settings for these objects are:

User definable Parameters:

.../{SignalExtractionMethod}
the method type that will be used to extract the signals from the recorded data. To see what options need to be set for the specific signalextraction methods description. There are the following options :

0:com 8 bit waveform (see cass::ACQIRIS::CoM8Bit)
1:com 16 bit waveform (see cass::ACQIRIS::CoM8Bit)
2:cfd 8 bit waveform (see cass::ACQIRIS::CFD8Bit)
3:cfd 16 bit waveform (see cass::ACQIRIS::CFD8Bit)
4:tdc data extractor (see cass::ACQIRISTDC::TDCExtractor)

.../{GoodRangeLow|GoodRangeHigh}
The lower an upper boundaries of the range where good single hits appear in. Default is 0.

Member Function Documentation

void SignalProducer::associate ( const CASSEvent & evt )

assciate the event with this signalproducer

resets the _newEventAssociated flag to true, clears the _signals vector and associates the event with the signalextractor. See the signal extractors associate() member function for further information.

Parameters

evt	the event that we need to associate with the signalextractor

Definition at line 65 of file signal_producer.cpp.

Referenced by cass::ACQIRIS::TofDetector::associate().

double SignalProducer::firstGood ( const std::pair< double, double > & range )

returns the time of the first peak in the time range

when the _newEventAssociated flag is true it will look for the first signal whos time is in the requested time range. If there is no signal in the requested timerange the value is set to 0.

Returns: time of the first singal in the requested timerange

Parameters

range the timerange to search for the signal

double SignalProducer::firstGood ( )

returns the time of the first peak in the time range

when the _newEventAssociated flag is true it will look for the first signal whos time is in the requested time range. If there is no signal in the requested timerange the value is set to 0. It will use the range that is set inside.

Returns: the time of the first good peak

void SignalProducer::loadSettings ( CASSSettings & s )

loads the settings.

will load the the requested SignalExtractor by calling SignalExtractor::instance(). And then loads its settings. Please refer the the chosen signal extractors loadSettings memeber for further information.
See class describtion for the type of signalextractor that can be chosen.

Parameters

s	the CASSSettings object we retrieve the data from

References cass::ACQIRIS::com16, cass::ACQIRIS::SignalExtractor::instance(), and QSettings::value().

SignalProducer::signals_t & SignalProducer::output ( )

return the signals

When a new event was associated with this prodcuer, then it will first extract all signals from the event data otherwise it will just return the signals. It will extract the events from the data with the help of the _singalExtractor object that this class owns. This is done by calling the singalextractos operator().

Note: the output of a signal producer are the singals. Unfortunately if we call this function signals it will not compile anymore.

Returns: reference to the singals of this signalproducer
