hi doug,
although the electronic map does not in principle affect data taking (only
it's decoding) the plan is to save it under elog with the usual archive
method/trick of storing an incremental file name. Indeed elog does that
now for epics, scalers, trigger
About your second question: depending on the version of reconstruction you
can select the e-map in the blastrc file or with a call like TBLRaw
raw("electronics.map");
The default blastrc file is in $BLAST_PARAM, essentially it is up to you where
that is. You can keep multiple copies and toggle within your environment..
The old version (through TBLRaw) used Find_Param_File below
TString Find_Param_File(const char *filename,Bool_t fatal)
{
//
// Check for filename in current directory, if
// accessible, use it.
// If not check for file in the dir pointed to by
// the BLAST_PARAM environment variable. If it
// does not exist, check if ../Blast_Params exist.
// If the file is found, return the full path.
// If file is not found, issue a warning, and
// optionally, exit.
//
// This is implemented as an independent function.
// It can be used as: TString S_file = Find_Param_File("hello.map");
// without having to instantiate TBLRaw.
//
