Description

Local geometry customization

A special XML format has been developed to make some tests with customized versions of experiment setups.

There is local_geometry.xml file in the directory, which can be used as an example of a local customization of a geometry stored in the database.

The root element of the XML format is "setup". It supports two types of child nodes:

• editSetupModule to load an own version of the specified detector or just disable the specified detector. It support the following attributes:
  • tag: tag of SetupModule which will be customized
  • enable: false - disable the SetupModule, true - change to a local version (from file_path) of the detector (default is true)
  • file_path: path to a new geometry file (default is empty, i.e. using the database geometry file
  • moveX: integer value, which sets a shift in X direction of the module (default is 0)
  • moveY: integer value, which sets a shift in Y direction of the module (default is 0)
  • moveZ: integer value, which sets a hift in Z direction of the module (default is 0)
• addSetupModule to add a new detector to the current setup. It support the following attributes:
  • class_name: name of the detector class. e.g. BmnFD, FairMagnet
  • active: true - the detector has active geometry. false - passive geometry (default is true).
  • args: arguments required for the constructor of the class. e.g. "FD", "MAGNET"
  • file_path: required path to the detector geometry file
