Ciao a tutti,
Starting with RUN 18631 of 23-NOV-1999 I have changed the FFREAD and
executable for the so called GC DSTs. Effective this RUN/day:
1) data are written out in RAW format, not ZEBRA. This implies that all
TAPE archiving will be performed from now on with the NOT FOREIGN option
GC DSTs produced so far were written in FZEX and two versions of tape
archiving were produced (FOREIGN/not FOREIGN). This was true until GCD11
but it will no longer be supported. The RAW output saves a ~10% overhead
that comes from ZEBRA. Files now have the extension *.DAT rather than
*.ZDST
2) No selection is imposed on ID's. Previously I had selected only
ID=1/10/20. This was resulting in losing the END OF RUN ERP GC readout
which was read by the data acq as ID=6 but swapped within DREAM to ID=1
after the IDSL. With the new GC DST, all ID/eqp are kept with the
exception of PHRASE TRIGGERs and EQP 42/6042
3) Bugs in DSHRNK, DEQSH and DFRAW were fixed. This was responsible for
ZEBRA fatal errors.
A presto,
--Erik
