What’s in files made at pole in PnF?

PnF generates 3 files based on the online processing and filtering results.

  • PFRaw - File containing all raw DAQ data for every event

  • PFDST - File containing the SuperDST record for all events.

    • Additionally containing raw DAQ data for events saving these (HighQ, etc)

  • PFFilt - File containting SuperDST record for pole selected events

    • Selection based on trigger criteria (DeepCore, IceTop, SMT 12, etc)

    • Additionally, keeping online reconstruction results for OnlineL2, alert events,

PFRaw

Contains:

  • I3DAQData - I3Vector<char> - Raw undecoded DAQ data blob for event

  • I3EventHeader - I3EventHeader - Decoded I3EventHeader for event

  • OnlineFilterMask - I3Map<string, I3FilterResult> - Results from online event selections

PFDST

Contains:

  • I3SuperDST - I3SuperDST - SuperDST encoded RecoPulses for InIce and IceTop

  • DSTTriggers - I3SuperDSTTriggerSeries - Compact DST trigger record

  • I3EventHeader - I3EventHeader - Decoded I3EventHeader for event

  • OnlineFilterMask - I3Map<string, I3FilterResult> - Results from online event selections

  • I3DAQDataIceTop - I3Vector<char> - Raw DAQ format IceTop waveforms

  • I3DAQDataTrimmed - I3Vector<char> - Raw DAQ format for Seatbelt failing readouts

  • I3DAQData - I3Vector<char> - Raw undecoded DAQ data blob for event

    • Optional: only if HighQ/FRT/MinBias filters request (Online Bool: KeepAllWaveforms_MinBias)

PFFilt

There are several options that can be returned in the PFFilt file, depending on online event selections, and objects from online InIceSplits are enumerated with an _InIceSplit<N> attached (_InIceSplit0, _InIceSplit1,…)

Events passing NO SELECTIONS contain:

  • I3DST22Header - I3DSTHeader16 - Header with broad timing normalization info (not in every event)

  • I3DST22_InIceSplit<N> - I3DST16 - Short summary info packet for an event (no hits)

  • I3ITSLCCalData - I3ITSLCCalData - Online IceTop SLC calibration record (only present if not empty)

  • I3VEMCalData - I3VEMCalData - Online IceTop VEMCal calibration record (only present if not empty)

Events passing the basic “KeepSuperDST” criteria (Online Bool:(Keep_SuperDST_23 OR KeepAllWaveforms_MinBias)

  • I3SuperDST - I3SuperDST - SuperDST encoded RecoPulses for InIce and IceTop

  • DSTTriggers - I3SuperDSTTriggerSeries - Compact DST trigger record

  • I3EventHeader - I3EventHeader - Decoded I3EventHeader for event

  • OnlineFilterMask - I3Map<string, I3FilterResult> - Results from online event selections

  • I3DST22Header - I3DSTHeader16 - Header with broad timing normalization info (not in every event)

  • I3DST22_InIceSplit<N> - I3DST16 - Short summary info packet for an event (no hits)

  • I3DAQDataTrimmed - I3Vector<char> - Raw DAQ format for Seatbelt failing readouts (only present if not empty)

  • I3DAQDataIceTop - I3Vector<char> - Raw DAQ format IceTop waveforms

    • Optional - only kept for “interesting IceTop events (Online Bool: KeepIceTopWaveforms)

  • I3DAQData - I3Vector<char> - Raw undecoded DAQ data blob for event

    • Optional: only if HighQ/FRT/MinBias filters request (Online Bool: KeepAllWaveforms_MinBias)

  • I3ITSLCCalData - I3ITSLCCalData - Online IceTop SLC calibration record (only present if not empty)

  • I3VEMCalData - I3VEMCalData - Online IceTop VEMCal calibration record (only present if not empty)

  • PFrameEncoded_InIceSplit<N> - - JSON serialized P-Frame contents from “interesting online splits” (if present)

    • Saved only for events passing online filters: ‘OnlineL2Filter_23’,’HESEFilter_23’,’GFUFilter_23’

  • SaturationWindows - - Waveform calibration saturated time range info (only present if not empty)

  • AlertNamesPassed_InIceSplit0<N> - I3Vector<string> - List of Alerts that this event passed (only present if not empty)

  • AlertShortFollowupMsg_InIceSplit<N> - I3PODHolder<string> - JSON encoded brief alert summary info message

  • AlertFullFollowupMsg_InIceSplit<N> - I3PODHolder<string> - JSON serialized full P-Frame content for followup reconstructions
