Introduction

This document describes the goals of the data monitoring that will be carried out during the fall 2014 commissioning run of Hall D.

Raw Data Monitoring

  • These questions are for every detector system: TAGH, TAGM, CDC, FDC, SC, TOF, BCAL, FCAL, PS (Pair Spectrometer)

What we want to know

  • Can we read data from tape?
  • Are the detectors working?
    • Do all of the channels have hits?
    • What are the hit counts/rates per channel?
    • Are the energies & times OK, garbage, or out of range? (by channel)

Action Items

  • David: Online data monitoring environment (RootSpy, hdview2, etc.)
    • David is updating RootSpy and its documentation/instructions.
    • When he's finished, he'll contact the different detector groups and remind them to write their online monitoring plugins.
  • Detector groups:
    • Writing the monitoring plugins for their systems.
    • Determining which plots are the primary plots (most important for shift-takers) and which are diagnostic plots.
    • Integrating their histograms into RootSpy.
  • Paul: Will integrate the monitoring_hists plugin (reconstruction) plots into RootSpy.


  • Is the reconstruction working?
    • Run full reconstruction over a small % of data, view tracking/shower-reconstruction results online (hdview2, monitoring_hists plugins).
