TDPs and Unparied Pulses

[AndrewEdmonds11]

Is there an easy way (or a module already written) that can look at the TAPs that don't get paired into TDPs?

Just loop over the TDPs in gDetectorPulses for a given channel and check the IsPairedPulse flag returns false. Also relavant is the CouldBePaired which will be true if the generator used to pair things was anything but the PassThrough generator (which is actually unable to pair fast and slow channels).

If you want to check a specific fast or slow channel then use the GetTAP method on the TDP. If it returns NULL there was no pulse paired, for that channel. It takes a TDetectorPulse::ParentChannel_t enum as an argument, so to get the fast TAP in a TDP do:

a_tdp->GetTAP(TDetectorPulse::kFast);

and use TDetectorPulse::kSlow for the slow TAPs.

Also, there is already a module that will plot this sort of thing, but it does a lot more as well so may be too much output for you. It's the CheckTDPs module which will produce plots for all paired detectors that show the relative amplitudes, timings and efficiencies.

Thanks, Ben. Whereabouts is the CheckTDPs module? I can see PlotTDPs and CheckTMEs but not that one.

[benkrikler]

My mistake, it's just PlotTDPs that you want.

Ok, thanks. Closing....
