Response scaling
The IntegratedHcalCalibrationProcessor and IntegratedHcalDigitizationProcessor (inherited from the SiPMPropertiesProcessor) has three options concering the response curve scaling:
PixelScaleFactorsCollectionName DefaultPixelScaleFactorsCollectionName DefaultPixelScaleFactor
(The names are obviously rubbish...)
They overrule each other top to bottom. If there is s.th. from PixelScaleFactorsCollectionName and DefaultPixelScaleFactorsCollectionName then PixelScaleFactorsCollectionName wins.
DefaultPixelScaleFactor is therefore the fallback solution and applies to all channels. It has to be set to a float. Its default is currently 0.8.
(Default,)PixelScaleFactorsCollectionName accept the name of a collection of SimpleValues (see below). To include such a collection put a line like
SimpleFileHandler indisat scale.slcio SimpleValues
to your ConditionsProcessor steering options and
PixelScaleFactorsCollectionName indisat
for the IntegratedHcalCalibrationProcessor.
Create file like this (without the first):
module chip channel value error status 8 4 3 0.75 0 1 ...
Put the scaling factors in the value column. You are not allowed to omit any field.
Use writeSimpleValues to create a lcio file. (Install calice_cddata yourself or use the installed binary (currently: /afs/desy.de/group/flc/hcal/calice_soft/pro_test/bin/writeSimpleValues))
writeSimpleValues --inFile factors.dat --outFile factors.slcio --write
The lcio should look like:
dumpevent factors.slcio 1
