How to use the Event Display

ILCSoft and CALICESoft have to be initialized.

export CED_PORT=7927 
glced& 
Marlin steering_EventDisplay.xml 

An example steering file can be found here: https://stash.desy.de/projects/CALICE/repos/calice_steering/browse

When you are outside Europe and want to use EventDisplay...

You will face a problem which movement of EventDisplay(CED) is too slow because it is distant from DESY. So the following method is recommended.

1. Access this link : https://nafhh-x2.desy.de:3443/auth/ssh
2. Input your User Name and pass of nafhh account and log in
3. Create a XFCE window and start it
4. Open terminal emulator
5. Access naf-ilc machine (ssh -X naf-ilc)
6. Move your working directory

7. Execute the following commands

   run Event Display outside DESY

   unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT
   export CED_PORT=XXXX
   glced&
   ./myMarlin EventDisplay

NOTE

• In XFCE widow we must pay attention to US keyboard map.
• We can use these commands in CED.

• Once you can enter a XFCE window, you should be able to do.
  • If you face to these warnings, there is no solution for now.
  • If you can resolve this problem, please edit this page!
    
• Successful environments (I know for now)
  • Mac(Google Chrome, Safari)
  • Windows(Firefox)
  • If you can do in other environments, please reedit.
• When EventDisplay cannot be showed, confirm the following things.
  • The CED_PORT should be the same as in the steering file.
  • ILCSoft and CALICESoft have to be initialized.
  • Reconstructed slcio file have to be used as input file.
  • Popup blocker should be permitted.
  • If you face to some errors in running EventDisplay.xml, try these things.
    • Change CED_PORT number in both of "export CED_PORT=XXXX" command and EventDisplay.xml and execute glced&
    • Close the XFCE window and recreate another one.
