5     The trk-soft_Release-x.xx.tar contains a main directory "trk-software-ground/"
6     that contains the following files and directories:
7    
8     Makefile --
9     README -- instructions to create the executables
10     doc/ -- documentation
11     run-test/ -- example of working directory, which includes usefull
12     shell scripts

16     ---------------------
17     Software environment
18     ---------------------
19    
20     This software has been successfully compiled and tested within the
21     following environments:
22    
23     - cernlib 2003
24    
25     - GNU Fortran (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
26     - GNU Fortran (GCC) 3.4.3 20050227 (Red Hat 3.4.3-22.fc3)
27     - GNU Fortran (GCC) 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux 10.1 3.4.1-4mdk)

30     Notes to Release 1.00
31     =======================
32    
33     This is the first official version of the tracker ground software.
34     The software has been adapted in order to process downlink files and produce an
35     output similar to the YODA threes. Each event has been tagged with the
36     CPU-header variables, as agreed during the last (April 28-29) software meeting
37     in Trieste.
38    
39     LEVEL0 and LEVEL1 are in a stable version, while LEVEL2 (track parameters)
40     is still under development; both the track fitting routine and the output data
41     format are preliminary. In particular, significant improvements of the LEVEL2
42     output are foreseen for the next releases.
43    
44     =======================
45     Notes to Release 2.00
46     =======================
47    
48     The tracking routine has been added to this version. Both source files and
49     libraries (libtrk.a and libtrk.so) have been included. An example on how to use
50     the routine is give in utilities/template.
51    
52     The LEVEL2 output has been modified in order to store both the images of the
53     track, in case the ambiguity is not solved (that is when the track is contained
54     in a sensor column)
55    
56     The level2.exe program has been modified in order to choose the
57     position-finding algorythm from input. Implemented PFAs up to now:
58     COG2 and ETA2.
59    
60     =======================
61     Notes to Release 3.00
62     =======================
63    
64     The LEVEL0 LEVEL1 LEVEL2 outputs have been modified to add some general
65     variables (crc, software version ...).
66    
67     The LEVEL2 has been completed, adding spatial information of single clusters
68     (clusters not associated with any track) and the integral of BxdL along the
69     tracks. Moreover the dE/dX information of clusters along the tracks has been
70     splitted in X and Y values.
71    
72     The alignment parameters used in this version are those from beam-test 2003
73     (only columns), associated with the new mechanical positions (new evaluated
74     dimentions of carbon stiffners and glue).
75    
76     *** THIS VERSION IS FOR INTERNAL USERS ***
77    
78     =======================
79     Notes to Release 3.01
80     =======================
81    
82     Some bugs in the previous release has been corrected.
83    
84     This version uses NEW alignment parameters: colums have been realigned with
85     muon tracks corrected for deflection offset.
86    
87     *** THIS VERSION IS FOR INTERNAL USERS ***
88    
89     =======================
90     Notes to Release 3.02
91     =======================
92    
93     This release include the implementation of the full eta PFA (Postion Finding
94     Algorythm).
95     The track fitting algorythm now takes into account of the variable spatial
96     resolution as a function of the PFA and the inclination angle.
97    
98     The cluster dE/dx is given in MIP units.
