Info

• This page summarises links and information for RPC offline analysis, including the following functions:
  • gas gaps currents study as a function of HV, luminosity, temperature with and without the beam-induced background
  • matching of DCS variables, including gas gaps current, HV, Vth, efficiency
  • plotting the data of a specific run extracted from the DCS system
  • extracting DCS variable data from DDV server and plotting

Code setup

• PlotRPCDCS - package for analysing

Athena, 21.0.125

• Cloning the repository and building the package, the first time only

     $ mkdir -p ~/testarea/RPCPlot21
     $ cd ~/testarea/RPCPlot21
     $ mkdir build run source
     $ cd source
     $ git clone https://:@gitlab.cern.ch:8443/ustc/RPC/PlotRPCDCS.git
     $ cd ~/testarea/RPCPlot21
     $ source source/PlotRPCDCS/macros/setup/first_setup_rel21.sh
     $ cd source
     $ source setup_atlas_analysis.sh

• On every login

     $ cd ~/testarea/RPCPlot21/source
     $ source setup_atlas_analysis.sh
     $ cd build 
     $ make -j4
     $ cd build
     $ cmake ../source

AthAnalysisBase, 2.4.30

• Commands to setup code for the first time:

     $ mkdir -p testarea/RelDCS
     $ cd testarea/RelDCS
     $ git clone ssh://git@gitlab.cern.ch:7999/ustc/RPC/PlotRPCDCS.git
     $ source PlotRPCDCS/macros/setup/setup_atlas_analysis_release_rel20.sh
     $ cd PlotRPCDCS/cmt
     $ cmt config
     $ source setup.sh
     $ exit

• Setting up cmt and then running make in the same shell session can cause errors - suggest to exit and start new session

     $ cd testarea/RelDCS
     $ source PlotRPCDCS/macros/setup/setup_atlas_analysis_release_rel20.sh
     $ cd PlotRPCDCS/cmt
     $ make

Code running

Extracting DCS variable data from DDV server and plotting

• Extract all gas gap currents and HV data for one run (command takes about 2 hours to complete):

    $ cd  ~/testarea/RPCPlot21/source/PlotRPCDCS
    $ python macros/readDataDDV.py --beg-run=358615 --end-run=358615 --do-all

• Extract data for one run for selected gas gaps and selected HV channels:

    $ python macros/readDataDDV.py --beg-run=364292 --end-run=364292 --do-igap --dp-key=ATLRPCL2:CAEN/PS_RPC_DOWN/branchController15/easyCrate5/easyBoard17/channel04 
    $ python macros/readDataDDV.py --beg-run=364292 --end-run=364292 --do-all --gap-key=BMS4A16.CO.* --hv-dp-key=ATLRPCH1:CAEN/PS_RPC_UP/branchController01/easyCrate0/easyBoard06/channel00.*

• Plot extracted current data:

    $ python macros/plotDDV.py Run364292 --wait --do-all

• Extract all sensor data for one run:

    $ python macros/readDataDDV.py --beg-run=364292 --end-run=364292 --do-sensor

• Plot extracted sensor data, and save the graphs in a folder :

    $ python macros/plotDDV.py Run364292 --do-sensor --save --store-pics=plot_sensors

• Above python code uses wget command to extract data from DDV server, for example:

    wget --post-data "queryInfo=atlas_pvssRPC, element_name, ATLRPCH1:CAEN/PS_RPC_UP/branchController01/easyCrate4/easyBoard11/channel063.actual.vMean, 19-08-2018 04:14, 19-08-2018 23:02, , , , , ,no, , +1" http://atlas-ddv.cern.ch:8089/multidata/getDataSafely

• A website to show graphs and tables: DDV Data

Comparison of data for 2 runs

• Plot extracted data of currents, hvs, sensors in 2 runs:

    $ python $TestArea/PlotRPCDCS/macros/comparison_plotDDV.py Run363979 Run364292 --do-igap --save
    $ python $TestArea/PlotRPCDCS/macros/comparison_plotDDV.py Run363979 Run364292 --do-hv --save
    $ python $TestArea/PlotRPCDCS/macros/comparison_plotDDV.py Run363979 Run364292 --do-sensor --save

Some examples of running commands

• The sh files in the run_commands folder contain commands for how to run the above programs.

    $ cd RPCPlot21/run
    $ cp -r ../source/PlotRPCDCS/run_commands/ ./
    $ cd run_commands
    $ . run_comparison.sh

Matching of DCS variables, including gas gaps current, HV, Vth, efficiency

• Environment setup

    $ cd RPCPlot21/source/
    $ source setup_atlas_analysis.sh
    $ cd ../run

• Read alias files of gas gap current, HV, vth, efficiency

    $ python $TestArea/PlotRPCDCS/macros/matchDCS.py --do-Readinfo 

• Output matching lists and root files in specified area, for example:

    $ panel_name="BML"
    $ python $TestArea/PlotRPCDCS/macros/matchDCS.py --do-VthvsEff --panel=${panel_name} -w
    $ python $TestArea/PlotRPCDCS/macros/matchDCS.py --do-IgapHVvsVth --panel=${panel_name} -w
    $ python $TestArea/PlotRPCDCS/macros/matchDCS.py --do-IgapvsHV --panel=${panel_name} -w
    $ python $TestArea/PlotRPCDCS/macros/matchDCS.py --do-IgapvsEff --panel=${panel_name} -w

Plotting the data of a specific run extracted from the DCS system

• 1) Read gas gap current and HV in 2 "txt" files
• 2) match current and hv based on the same channel
• 3) draw the graphs and store them to the root file

    $ python $TestArea/PlotRPCDCS/macros/drawDCSdata_matchpanel.py -w

Gas gaps currents study as a function of HV, luminosity, temperature with and without the beam-induced background

• Before running the codes always run: source PlotRPCDCS /macros/setup/setup_atlas_analysis_release_rel20.sh

• Analysis gas volume current as function of Lumi

    $ python macros/runCurrentAnalysisWithCool.py --beg-run=356250 --end-run=356251 --badalias-file=data/CurrentData_run356250/disconnected_Igap_DCS_IvsLumi.txt --curr-file=data/CurrentData_run356250/db-Igap-actual.vMean-20181018-112300.txt -w --panel1=BOS1 --panel2=DZ2 --do-ivslumi

• Analysis Igap vs HV with beam induced background

    $ python $TestArea/PlotRPCDCS/macros/plotHVScan.py $TestArea/PlotRPCDCS/data/HVscan-withbeam --badaliasDCS-file=data/HVscan-withbeam/badgaps/disconnected_Igap_DCS.txt  --do-plot-beam --panel=BOL2 -w

• Analyis Rampup test

    $ python macros/runCurrentAnalysisWithCool.py --beg-run=356250 --end-run=356251 --badalias-file=data/Ramp_up_7Dec/disconnected_Igap_DCS_rampup.txt --curr-file=data/Ramp_up_7Dec/db-Igap-actual.vMean-20180812-170700.txt -w --panel1=BOS1 --panel2=DZ2 --do-rampup
