Dear friends,

during the last days I've updated the channel map that contains
all electronics and HV map info for all drift chamber channels (cells).
Now there are map entries for 2 "run numbers":
run# 1: previous map values
run# 2: updated map values (changes: Region 1 backward channels,
Superlayer 4 backward channels)

The map arrays (bitpatterns) are a bit larger than for the previous
version. Unfortunately the mapmanager is not so flexible to allow
different array lengths for specified items. Therefore I've converted
the old map (i.e. put a lot of zeros for channels that were not used).
If you want to use the channel map, you have to check out the
modified version (old executables will not work).
> cvs checkout utilities/dc_channel_map

There is an executables on the clons:
clon: ~clasrun/dc/raw/dc_chan_map

(or ~fklein/dc/map (on clons and cue).

I copied the modified channel map into the parms/Maps directories:
$CLAS_PARMS/Maps/DC_CHANNEL.map (jlab cluster)
and
/usr/local/clas/clas_parms/Maps/DC_CHANNEL.map (clon cluster);

For some weeks I will keep the old channel map
(in: $CLAS_PARMS/Maps/DC_CHANNEL.map.old ).

I've checked the output of some hundred channels interactively
( > dc_chan_map -I ),
compared the 'DCnn.map' files (wire maps with electronics channel info)
( > dc_chan_map -Lnn )
and the ROC translation tables 'ROCnn.tab'
( > dc_chan_map -Tnn ).

There are some descrepancies in the translation tables for ROC09 and
ROC10, probably due to errors in the ROC tables on the clons
(Burin should check it - I sent him a file with the differences).

I don't know whether the HV channels are correct for backward Region 1
channels because I don't have all info here in Osaka.

For questions/suggestions please send me a mail.

Have a nice day

Franz
