DQM4HEP Monitoring

for help about installing DQM4HEP and preparing the analysis modules, see the http://flcwiki.desy.de/AHCALMonitoring_DQM4HEP

Shifter instructions

1) In /home/calice/TB2017/scripts, load all the dqm4hep elements:

source manual_start.sh

This is only needed once, but eventually an element will crash. In this case kill them, for that:

source manual_kill.sh

2) In the Run Control, click Start run click on okay, no password is needed. This is only required once at the beginning.

3) in /home/calice/TB2017/DQM4HEP/build start the streamer with the name of the file to look into (and the full path if you are not in the right path), e.g.

dqm4hep_start_lcio_file_service -c ahcal_event_collector -t 1 -f /home/calice/mounted_data_directory/path_to_file/ROCEvents051081_tp.slcio

4) if you want to clear the histograms before you look at a new run, you need to stop the run in the run control, wait a bit, and then start the run again. After clicking on update in the DQM Monitoring Window, the histograms should be empty

The programs are in

/home/calice/Desktop/AHCAL-Reconstruction/bin

We reconstruct and apply the available calibrations to the raw events:

QtReco (reconstruction):

1. Run it by doing

./QtReco_interface

2. Edit the steering file in the folder /home/calice/Desktop/AHCAL-Reconstruction/xml (steering.xml)

Run number
Input_PATH
Output_PATH
mapping

(need to be edited for each new Run)

3. Then Press Configure -> Check if the lcio file is found.

4. Then Press Start, it will run the reco and the analysis.

5. Wait until it finishes. It should show Analysis Module : destroyed

Now we are ready to show the plots or event displays.

Online monitor for events after reconstruction

files can be mounted via commands

sshfs calice@192.168.1.11://F:/ /home/calice/Desktop/DAQ_PC/ -oauto_cache,reconnect,allow_other
sshfs calice@192.168.1.10:/home/calice/ /home/calice/Desktop/EUDAQ_PC/ -oauto_cache,reconnect,allow_other
}
Mounts shown by the mount command should look like:
{{{

OnlineMonitor

It is in:

/home/calice/Desktop/AHCAL-Reconstruction/bin

1. Run it by doing

./QtReco_Client_interface

QtReco-interface must be opened!

2. Click on connect then enter the Run number with a leading zero!. Check that it says connected.

3. Then choose what plots you want to look at. Careful when analysing the plots! Mis-calibrations!

Important (and implemented) distributions

Several distributions are available after analysis :

• Hit multiplicity
• Energy sum and spectra per layer
• Shower profile, beam profile

• HitMap

• Temperature (only for raw txt!)

Hit Multiplicity

Energy

Shower profile, beam profile

Muons +120 GeV, tungsten absorber

Pions +50 GeV, tungsten absorber

Electrons +20 GeV, tungsten absorber

HitMap

You can see some reference hitmaps from August 2015 data taking period.

For Muons, +120 GeV, tungsten absorber.

For Pions +50 GeV, tungsten absorber.

For Electrons +20 GeV, tungsten absorber.

Calibration procedure

The QtReco program make use of the Marlin framework and the calice processors in order to reconstruct the raw data (hardware information) to physics data. The reconstruction is done in several steps and need to have access to the database containing mapping of the detector and calibration constants for each channel (gain, Pedestal, MIP).

The calice database is not accessible from outside the DESY network, so for CERN, a local database needs to be setup or slcio made.

The latter option is chosen and also the database slcio file are in  ~/Desktop/TB_Soft/Local_db/ . The database setup and making of slcio file is rather difficult so it is reserved for experts (contact Eldwan ( eldwan.brianne@NOSPAMdesy.de ) or Lan ( huong.lan.tran@NOSPAMdesy.de )).

The reconstruction is done in 4 steps :

• Event Building from raw txt or raw slcio eudaq files
• Geometry mapping of the detector
• Get Calibration constant from database/files
• Apply Calibration

This is done for each hits in each events.

Database constants (Local)

If you are at DESY, you can directly connect to the database no need to have local files. (Same steering part of GeoCondition Processor as offline reconstruction)

In case you are outside DESY, the connection is restricted to specific IP addresses. To avoid this problem, a tunnel must be established or local database files can be specified instead.

Tunnel to calice DB at DESY

Edit the /home/calice/Desktop/AHCAL-Reconstruction/xml/Reco.xml file and replace flchcaldb02 --> 127.0.0.1 . Port replacement: 3306 --> 33306

 <!--parameter name="DBInit" type="string" value="flccaldb02.desy.de:calice:caliceon:Delice.1:3306"/-->
    <parameter name="DBInit" type="string" value="127.0.0.1:calice:caliceon:Delice.1:33306"/>

To make the IP tunnel: {{{ssh -L 33306:flccaldb02:3306 user@bastion.desy.de }}}

Local database extraction

First to create a database file, you need the package lccd (http://ilcsoft.desy.de/portal/software_packages/lccd/index_eng.html). Inside the lccd folder, create a folder build. Then go inside and type :

cmake $ILCSOFT/ILCSoft.cmake ..
make install

It will compile the package.

To create a local file, you have to do :

export LCCD_DB_INIT=flccaldb02.desy.de:calice:caliceon:Delice.1:3306
./build/bin/createdbfile <dbfolder> <tag>

This will then create a slcio file condDB_<Collection>_<tag>_<querytime>.slcio

To make use of theses file locally then you need to specify in the reconstruction steering file : This specify the name of the output collection, the path of the slcio file and the name of the collection inside the file.

Event display

After applying the reconstruction and the corrections, we also can have a look on the aspect of the events in our detector. Actually, we can do it in parallel to the reconstruction, since it reads the events in the slcio file created by the QtReco program. For that we use a schematic 3D view of our detector that allows us to nicely and very intuitively discern the structure of the beam (content of pions, muons, electrons, etc), the position of the tracks, etc.

To execute the event display go in :

~/Desktop/Event_Display/

and start

glced&
./myMarlin.sh xml/CED_2017May.xml

To ship the data to the online display from a correct file, xml steering file /home/calice/Desktop/Event_Display/xml/CED_2017May.xml has to be edited. File which will be displayd is here::

<parameter name="LCIOInputFiles">
  <!--/home/calice/Desktop/Reco_Data/BuiltEvents000025_tp.slcio /-->
  /home/calice/Desktop/Reco_Data/ROCEvents050917_tp.slcio
</parameter>

and database connection has to be fixed in a same way as for reconstruction:

The program has a tool to make screenshots. This is found in the "tools" tab and do screenshots in tga format.

Some standard event display are shown in the following pictures.

Electron (-) candidates (10 GeV, steel absorber)

Muon (-) candidate ( steel absorber)

Pion (-) candidate (50 GeV, steel absorber)

Pion (+) candidates (50 GeV, tungsten absorber)

Electron (+) candidates (20 GeV, tungsten absorber)

To make these nice sets of eventdisplays, we can use a few set of "Jiri's" commands:

1) Convert to png, since the saved pictures in the eventdisplay use the tga format

ls *.tga|parallel convert {} ~
{.}.png

2) Create the set, by appending individual pictures:

convert \( glced-1.png glced-2.png +append \) \( glced-3.png glced-4.png +append \) -append test.png

(for 2x2)
or

convert \( glced-1.png glced-2.png glced-3.png +append +append \) \( glced-4.png glced-5.png glced-6.png +append +append \) \( glced-7.png glced-8.png glced-9.png \) -append -append r30079_pick_of_9events.png

(for 3x3)

dCache

The procedure of copy to DCache is described here: http://flcwiki.desy.de/GridInstall

On the DCache computer, a Virtual machine is automatically started with the PC. To invoke the program, following command is needed:

ssh -X -p 2222 calice@localhost "cd dCache-gui; bin/dCache_start_gui"
