Software Meeting March. 04, 2004

Attending: Dustin, David, Mark, Itaru, Raphael, Aram, Eric
Phone: Ashot, Abdellah

• Aram: Somehow j is declared as a global variable in some hycal program. Dustin takes responsibility to get rid of it.
• Eric: New montecarlo study for the veto counters central hole size will be presented in the tomorrow's meeting.
• David: Makefile in SUNOS system is incompatible with the "-Wno" flag which is commonly used in GNU compilers. The makefile installed in clonXX:/home/primex/src is fixed on this progrrem, but not committed in CVS. As a temporary solution, users should stick with current makefile until the dry run ends.
• David: The present policy of clon machine administration do not allow user to cvs check-in and -out programs using primex group account. Users should use own private account to do so. David and Mark is going to argue to find a reasonable solution to it after the meeting.
• Mark: batch job info can be browsed by .lsbatch command in the farm.
• Mark: A new policy in C-processor include file format. All primex associated include files should use double quotation mark " instead of curly brackets <>. Every programs should be updated in cvs repository before Mark executes a global change in all primex software tomorrow after the PrimEx meeting.
• Dustin: There were a bug in the program in manipulating calibration constants for HYCAL. This was actually causing the energy inconsistency problem in reconstructed pi0 mass. Eric takes care of this bug fixing.
• Mark: Mark suggested to discuss about slow control system in the next software meeting, since it has been put aside for a while.
• David: David will present some overview of DAQ system after the dry run to help us to become more familiar with it.
