TriggerMap: Unable to open file TwoSiteTriggers.trig

[reginacaputo]

Hi Andreas, I'm currently running the experimental branch of MEGAlib (v2.99.04) I was working through the trigger map example as outlined in the ReadMe file in: ${MEGALIB}/resource/examples/advanced/TriggerMap

Follow the instructions, however the TriggerMap files don't seem to get created (see output below - note in the snippet below, I replaced my directory with ${MEGALIB}). I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here. Thanks for taking a look.

Best, Regina

Hi Regina,

Fixed the problem - we had a little chicken and egg problem, so I split the geometry in two files, Base.geo.setup contains the volumes and detectors. Use this to generate the trigger maps. TriggerMap.geo.setup then includes everything including the newly generated trigger map.

Thus do: CreateTriggerMap -g Base.geo.setup and from this point on you can use the TriggerMap.geo.setup geometry.

The new version has been pushed to github.

Cheers, Andreas

Thank you, Andreas. I got and compiled the code. It created the trigger files. I then tried to run Cosima on TriggerMap.source. I got an error that it couldn't parse the number of events that I were fed into TriggerMapLow (see below). I tried changing the number, and checking if there were any hidden characters that were messing things up and couldn't find anything. Any ideas?

Thank you, Regina

That's strange. I do not get that error. Could you gzip (important) and email me the file?

Afterwards, could you replace it by TriggerMapLow.Time 100.0 and see if it starts simulating?

Thank you, Andreas. It works now. I'll close the issue.
