 How to build PMD DA
 =======================
+Building of the DAs is handled in Aliroot. You can find below some

+The Aliroot DA build system has been updated, please refer to the

+Code Structures
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+PMD Amore runs Using ALICE offline QA in
+aliroot. The main codes are 
+
+AliPMDQAChecker.cxx     
+AliPMDQADataMakerRec.cxx 
+AliPMDQADataMakerSim.cxx
+
+and we have following objects in the QA 
+(Related to Data only)
+
+Frequency Distributions for each DDL
+
+hDdl2304
+hDdl2305
+hDdl2308
+hDdl2309
+
+XY - Display for each Plan
+hPreXY
+hCpvXY
+
+Multiplicity Plots:
+hPmdMultiplicityP
+hPmdMultiplicityC
+
+Quality Plots:
+
+hPmdQualityWAdc: The wighted ADC over two DDLs in a same plane ( divided in 20 eta rings - 10 each plane) 
+hPmdQualityHit : The total hits over two DDLs in a same plane ( divided in 20 eta rings - 10 each plane)

+
+Now Amore is working on aldaqacr58 pc (PMD ACR PC). 
+It could be run by simply typing
+
+amore -d EVE -m GenericGui
+
+Detailed step to start the gui :
+
+1. On ACR machine type :
+
+   amore -d EVE -m GenericGui
+
+it will pop up with amore screen.
+
+2. PMD agent is now visible in the tree and locate the objects
+
+3. Optionally, to see only PMD agent in the tree, type PMD in the filter field
+
+4. Select EDep of corresponding SMs or XY histos by double clicking corresponding name from amore tree.
+
+In this no way to flush the memory being processed by central QA server.
+
+NOTE: Default it will pick data from amoreAgentPMDShifter. Which is link to DQM QA 
+checkers. But instantaneously we can launch our own agent. it will not crash with 
+earlier one. if so do following before lunching GUI.
+
+To start the agent :
+1. connect to DQM server
+2. Type :amoreAgent -a amoreAgentPMDQA
+
+Then follow the above steps GUI. 
+
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+During Operation at P@2
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+For the Central Shifter following two plots should be
+ok to judge PMD quality
+
+hPmdQualityWAdc: The wighted ADC over two DDLs in a same plane ( divided in 20 eta rings - 10 each plane) 
+hPmdQualityHit : The total hits over two DDLs in a same plane ( divided in 20 eta rings - 10 each plane)
+
+The ratio (hit and adc weighted hit) of two ddls in same plane. 
+=> this produces four combinations, but for simplicity it merged to two histograms 
+=> zones are leveled in the plot itself.
+=> The marker should stay between 1 to 4 in y-axis. Because of asymmetric hits these 
+   value might oscillate very fast, however if these value stay at 1 for a long time 
+   ( 10 minutes - then on-call should be called ) => Briefly this if it stay at 1 
+    for long time then DDLs are sending blank data.
+
+=> PMD HI: Expected 150Kb/evt if more pedestal run is required. PMD PP: 
+        Event Size 8 Kbs/event Can go upto 15Kbs if more pedestal run is required.
+
+=> During cosmic runs and technical runs we mostly collect noise so these references 
+may not be of good quality.
+
+=> Please wait until at least three cycle to declare PMD quality as bad.
