Tracking/off-line sort with tracMain/GEBSort

To get the tracking software (trackMain) and ROOT sorter (GEBSort) you can

 mkdir whereYouWantToWork
 cd    whereYouWantToWork
 svn checkout https://svn.anl.gov/repos/gs_analysis/GEBSort .
 make offline

This will make the GEBSort_nogeb program, which is the GEBSort ROOTsorter without the software to connet to the GEB tap (hence, make offline). This version of the code can read mode1 or mode 2 data and does not need a VxWorks license to be installed. The trackMain code will also be generated, the software to add tracked data to the mode 2 data steam (then also know ad mode 1 data).

Here is an example of how to track some data from gretina and sort it using GEBSort_nogeb to make spectra.

First the tracking:

  rm GTDATA
  ln -s /home/tl/d6/GEBSort/GEBSort_testdata GTDATA
  ./trackMain track.chat  GTDATA/mode2.gtd  GTDATA/mode1.gtd  > GTDATA/trackMain.log

here we ask the tracker to read the GTDATA/mode2.gtd data, add tracking information to the data stream and write the output to GTDATA/mode1.gtd. The parameters for the tracking are in the track.chat file, which might look like this
