Retriggering ~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you want to retrigger data or simulation, with an existing algorithm but slightly different settings, you'll need to first generate a new GCD file. Rationale: It's become standard practice to bundle the GCD file with the data. If users were allowed to retrigger data at runtime via a script it's possible, and likely, that the data would contain an inconsistent GCD file (the pre-retriggered file) and the link to the script that retriggered it would get lost over time. Step 1 - Finding the Trigger Config ID -------------------------------------- It might be helpful to first print the settings of your input GCD file. .. code:: bash $ $I3_BUILD/trigger-sim/resources/scripts/print_trigger_configuration.py TriggerKey : [IN_ICE:SIMPLE_MULTIPLICITY:1006] SimpleMajorityTrigger threshold = 8 timeWindow = 5000 TriggerKey : [IN_ICE:SIMPLE_MULTIPLICITY:1011] SimpleMajorityTrigger domSet = 6 threshold = 3 timeWindow = 2500 TriggerKey : [IN_ICE:SLOW_PARTICLE:24002] SlowMPTrigger alpha_min = 140 dc_algo = false max_event_length = 5000000 min_n_tuples = 5 rel_v = 0.5 t_max = 500000 t_min = 0 t_proximity = 2500 TriggerKey : [IN_ICE:STRING:1007] ClusterTrigger coherenceLength = 7 domSet = 2 multiplicity = 5 timeWindow = 1500 TriggerKey : [IN_ICE:VOLUME:21001] CylinderTrigger domSet = 2 height = 75 multiplicity = 4 radius = 175 simpleMultiplicity = 8 timeWindow = 1000 TriggerKey : [ICE_TOP:SIMPLE_MULTIPLICITY:102] SimpleMajorityTrigger threshold = 6 timeWindow = 5000 The trigger config_id is the last number in the TriggerKey. e.g. "TriggerKey : [IN_ICE:SIMPLE_MULTIPLICITY:1006]" for SMT8, the config_id is 1006. Since it uniquely defines a TriggerKey there's no need to specify anymore than that. Now that you have the config_id for the trigger you want to modify, you can pass that to the 'generate_retriggered_GCD.py' script along with the key, value that corresponds to the trigger setting you want to change. Step 2 - Generating a retrigger GCD file ---------------------------------------- The following example sets the 'threshold' value to '12' for the trigger with config_id 1006 (SMT8 in this case). .. code:: bash $I3_BUILD/trigger-sim/resources/scripts/generate_retriggered_GCD.py --input-GCD=$I3_TESTDATA/GCD/GeoCalibDetectorStatus_2012.56063_V0.i3.gz --output-GCD=./GeoCalibDetectorStatus_2012.56063_V0_SMT12.i3.gz --trigger-config-id=1006 --key=threshold --value=12 Step 3 - Retriggering --------------------- This is accomplished how one would expect using the ReTrigger segment in simprod-scripts, passing the new GCD as a parameter.
