26 * @class AliHLTMUONTriggerReconstructorComponent
27 * @brief A processing component for the dHLT trigger DDL reconstruction.
29 * The trigger reconstructor component is used to decode the raw data coming
30 * from the trigger chambers and electronics of the muon spectrometer.
31 * The local trigger decisions are converted into trigger records which is a
32 * usable format by the tracking stage.
33 * No full cluster finding is performed, rather just the fired strip information
34 * as received from the trigger electronics is converted into global coordinates
35 * to be used by the tracker as track seeds.
37 * <h2>General properties:</h2>
39 * Component ID: \b MUONTriggerReconstructor <br>
40 * Library: \b libAliHLTMUON.so <br>
41 * Input Data Types: AliHLTMUONConstants::DDLRawDataType() = "DDL_RAW :MUON" <br>
42 * Output Data Types: \li AliHLTMUONConstants::TriggerRecordsBlockDataType() = "TRIGRECS:MUON"
43 * \li AliHLTMUONConstants::TrigRecsDebugBlockDataType() = "TRIGRDBG:MUON" <br>
45 * <h2>Mandatory arguments:</h2>
46 * \li -ddl <i>number</i> <br>
47 * This indicates the DDL from which the component is expect to receive data
48 * and for which it should load the appropriate electronics mapping lookup
50 * The <i>number</i> should be in the range [21..22], following local dimuon
51 * spectrometer DDL numbering. If either the -ddlid, -lut or -delaysetup
52 * arguments are used, then -ddl becomes optional. <br>
53 * \li -ddlid <i>number</i> <br>
54 * This indicates the DDL by equipment ID, from which the component is expect
55 * to receive data and for which it should load the appropriate electronics
56 * mapping lookup table.
57 * The <i>number</i> should be in the range [2816..2817].
58 * If either the -ddl, -lut or -delaysetup arguments are used, then -ddlid
59 * becomes optional. <br>
60 * \li -delaysetup <br>
61 * Specifying this option causes the component to initialise the lookup table
62 * and magnetic field parameters from CDB only after receiving the first event
63 * to process in DoEvent.
64 * If -ddl or -ddlid were not used, then the DDL number will be taken from
65 * the first block's specification during runtime from the first
66 * event (i.e. Start-of-Run event).
67 * Using the -lut, -zmiddle or -bfieldintegral arguments will override loading
68 * from CDB for a delayed setup. <br>
70 * <h2>Optional arguments:</h2>
71 * \li -lut <i>filename</i> <br>
72 * A pree-built lookup table for the electronics mapping and calibration
73 * information can be loaded with this argument. The file should have been
74 * generated with the GenerateLookupTable method. The location of the file
75 * is given by the parameter <i>filename</i> <br>
77 * Indicates that the component should load from CDB. This option is implicit
78 * if the -cdbpath is given. It will also override the -lut option.<br>
79 * \li -cdbpath <i>path</i> <br>
80 * Specifies the CDB path to use, given by <i>path</i>. This option will override
81 * the CDB path automatically set by the HLT framework. <br>
82 * \li -run <i>number</i> <br>
83 * Specifies the run number to use, given by <i>number</i>. This option will
84 * override the current run number automatically set by the HLT framework. <br>
85 * \li -zmiddle <i>position</i> <br>
86 * This indicates the Z coordinate position of the middle of the dipole magnetic
87 * field. <i>position</i> is a floating point value in centimeters. Specifying
88 * this argument on the will override the value loaded from CDB. <br>
89 * \li -bfieldintegral <i>field</i> <br>
90 * This indicates the magnetic field integral for the dipole magnetic field.
91 * <i>field</i> must be a floating point value in Tesla meters (T.m).
92 * The sign of the value will indicate the polarity setting of the dipole magnet.
93 * Specifying this argument on the will override the value loaded from CDB. <br>
94 * \li -warn_on_unexpected_block <br>
95 * This will cause the component to generate warnings when it receives data block
96 * types it does not know how to handle. Without this option the component only
97 * generates debug messages when they are compiled in. <br>
98 * \li -suppress_partial_triggers <br>
99 * This option forces all trigger records that have less than 3 hits in them
100 * to be removed from the output. This is the default setting. <br>
101 * \li -generate_partial_triggers <br>
102 * With this option all trigger records, even partial ones with just one or two
103 * hits is written to the output. <br>
104 * \li -stop_on_buffer_overflow <br>
105 * If this option is specified then the component will stop processing and generate
106 * an error code in the DoEvent method as soon as the output buffer has been filled.
107 * Otherwise the component normally just keeps processing but some data might be lost
108 * due to full buffers. <br>
109 * \li -tryrecover <br>
110 * This is a special option to the raw data decoder to turn on logic which will
111 * try and recover from corrupt raw DDL data. This is off by default. <br>
112 * \li -dont_use_crateid <br>
113 * This option indicates that the crate ID values found in the regional structures
114 * in the raw DDL data should not be used to identify the channels in the offline
115 * mapping. Rather the position of the raw data structure instead. <br>
116 * \li -dont_use_localid <br>
117 * This option indicates that the local structure ID values found in the raw DDL
118 * data should not be used to identify the channels in the offline mapping, but
119 * rather the position of the local structure in the DDL should be used instead. <br>
120 * \li -dumponerror <br>
121 * This flag will cause the component to dump the data blocks it received if
122 * an error occurs during the processing of an event. <br>
123 * \li -dumppath <i>path</i> <br>
124 * Allows one to specify the path in which to dump the received data blocks
125 * if an error occurs. <br>
126 * \li -makedebuginfo <br>
127 * If specified then the trigger record debug informaiton data blocks are generated. <br>
129 * <h2>Standard configuration:</h2>
130 * The configuration is taken from the CDB by default. It can be overridden with
131 * the command line arguments.
133 * <h2>Default CDB entries:</h2>
134 * HLT/ConfigHLT/HLTGlobalTrigger - Contains the global trigger menu.
136 * <h2>Performance:</h2>
137 * This is a linear function of the number of input triggers (AliHLTTrigger) that
138 * need to be processed.
139 * For a modest trigger menu configurations the processing time per event should
140 * be on the order of a few milliseconds.
142 * <h2>Memory consumption:</h2>
143 * This is a linear function of the input data size, but only a fraction. Thus the
144 * memory usage is minimal. It should be under 1 MBytes.
146 * <h2>Output size:</h2>
147 * This will depend linearly on the number of tracks found. But for nominal multiplicities
148 * this should be less than 16 kBytes.
