ARCS 7.2 test settings & UCSB Macro

arcs_main_config.cfg is where the test settings xml file is defined:

• arcs_main_config.cfg

In ARCS 7.2 there are different cut files for OB1 and OB2 modules. The parameters set by these files inlclude, Number of APV's, and testings cuts:

• tob_ob1_testsettings_v1.xml
• tob_ob2_testsettings_v2.xml

...the _v1 (for version 1) is appended to the filename because the name of the test settings file is recorded in the xml file, and ulitmately uploaded to the database. This is because the bad channels list depends on these cuts. Every time a new set of cuts is adopted from here, there should be a new standard test settings xml file (ie, tob_ob1_testsettings_v9.xml)

The latest version of the macro can run on both 4 and 6 chip modules. The cuts files are listed for both types. Note: you will have to rename the cut file you want to run with the macro to 'cuts.dat' for it to work with the macro

• UCSB ARCS Macro
• ob1_cuts.dat
• ob2_cuts.dat

The syntax for the macro is:

		>root -b -l -q 'arcs_macro.cc("cuts.dat")'

The parameters in the cut file are explained at the beginning of the macro
