2 | Getting Started
|
---|
3 | ===============
|
---|
4 |
|
---|
5 | 1) Get an account at the FACT data center at ISDC
|
---|
6 | 2) Setup your environment variables
|
---|
7 | 3) Checkout the pyfact software repository
|
---|
8 | 4) Try a few examples
|
---|
9 |
|
---|
10 | 1. Important links
|
---|
11 | =================================
|
---|
12 |
|
---|
13 | **FACT data center at ISDC** <http://www.isdc.unige.ch/fact/datacenter>**
|
---|
14 | here you find instructions how to get an account, how to set it up and how to use it
|
---|
15 |
|
---|
16 | **SVN repository** <https://fact.isdc.unige.ch/svn/fact/>
|
---|
17 | hosts all FACT software (including pyfact)
|
---|
18 |
|
---|
19 | **FACT run database** <https://www.fact-project.org/run_db/db/fact_runinfo.php>
|
---|
20 | here you find information about all available runs
|
---|
21 |
|
---|
22 | **eLogbook** <https://www.fact-project.org/logbook/>
|
---|
23 | telescope logbook used since Dec. 1, 2012; for logbook information before this date have a look here: <http://fact.ethz.ch/FACTelog/index.jsp>
|
---|
24 |
|
---|
25 | **FACT La Palma pages** <https://www.fact-project.org/>
|
---|
26 | plenty of information concerning the telescope in La Palma
|
---|
27 |
|
---|
28 | 2. Environment variables
|
---|
29 | ========================
|
---|
30 | set the following env variables depending on the SHELL you are using, for instance in .bashrc or .tcshrc
|
---|
31 |
|
---|
32 |
|
---|
33 | * **ROOTSYS**: /swdev_nfs/root_v5.28.00
|
---|
34 | * **PATH**: add $ROOTSYS/bin
|
---|
35 | * **LD_LIBRARY_PATH**: add $ROOTSYS/lib
|
---|
36 | * **PYTHONPATH**: $ROOTSYS/lib
|
---|
37 | * **PYTHONPATH**: add all directories where python should search for modules. At least:
|
---|
38 | * pyscripts/pyfact
|
---|
39 | * **LD_LIBRARY_PATH**: add the path to pyfits_h.so
|
---|
40 | * pyscripts/pyfact in many cases
|
---|
41 |
|
---|
42 | the absolute path depends on where you have checked (or will check) out the pyscripts repository
|
---|
43 |
|
---|
44 | example .bashrc::
|
---|
45 |
|
---|
46 | # this is just a convenient shortcut
|
---|
47 | export MY_PYFACT=/home_nfs/isdc/neise/py/pyscripts/pyfact
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 | # this is needed for ROOT only
|
---|
50 | export ROOTSYS=/swdev_nfs/root_v5.28.00
|
---|
51 | export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH
|
---|
52 | export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
---|
53 |
|
---|
54 | # this is needed for Python to find the pyfact classes and PyROOT
|
---|
55 | export PYTHONPATH=$MY_PYFACT
|
---|
56 | export PYTHONPATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$PYTHONPATH
|
---|
57 |
|
---|
58 | #this is one of many possible ways, for ROOT to find pyfits_h.so
|
---|
59 | export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$MY_PYFACT
|
---|
60 |
|
---|
61 |
|
---|
62 | 3. Check out the repository
|
---|
63 | ===========================
|
---|
64 | svn co https://fact.isdc.unige.ch/svn/fact/tools/pyscripts py
|
---|
65 |
|
---|
66 |
|
---|
67 | 4. Create the needed *.so libs @ ISDC
|
---|
68 | ======================================
|
---|
69 |
|
---|
70 | FACT data are stored in (gzipped) fits files, but the data files are too large to be read by the existing tools:
|
---|
71 |
|
---|
72 | `pyfits <http://www.stsci.edu/institute/software_hardware/pyfits>` which uses `cfitsio <http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio/>`_.
|
---|
73 |
|
---|
74 | To mitigate this problem a C++ class defined in fits.h [#f1]_ is used. A simple possibility to create an interface of this C++ class is to use ROOT and later to import it using the
|
---|
75 | `pyroot <http://root.cern.ch/drupal/category/package-context/pyroot>`_ module.
|
---|
76 |
|
---|
77 | example::
|
---|
78 |
|
---|
79 | neise@isdc-viewer00:~/py/pyfact$ root -l -q makelibs.C
|
---|
80 | root [0]
|
---|

|
---|
85 |
|
---|
86 | neise@isdc-viewer00:~/py/pyfact$ ls *.so
|
---|
87 | calfactfits_h.so factfits_h.so izstream_h.so
|
---|
88 |
|
---|
89 | 5. Test if everything is running
|
---|
90 | =================================
|
---|
91 |
|
---|
92 | each module in pyfact should have some test methods implemented.
|
---|
93 | In case one would like to test the module *pyfact*, one can simple execute
|
---|
94 | the module source file.
|
---|
95 |
|
---|
96 | Just test if everything is running like this::
|
---|
97 |
|
---|
98 | neise@isdc-viewer00:~/py/pyfact$ pyfact.py
|
---|
99 | showing test of iterator of RawData class
|
---|
100 | in order to test the SlowData classe please use: ./pyfact.py fits-file-name
|
---|
101 | ev 1 data[0,0] = -7.68806196438 start_cell[0] = 426 trigger type = 416
|
---|
102 | ev 2 data[0,0] = 0.792280672486 start_cell[0] = 437 trigger type = 416
|
---|
103 | ev 3 data[0,0] = 54.9490855517 start_cell[0] = 449 trigger type = 416
|
---|
104 | ev 4 data[0,0] = 3.9482592671 start_cell[0] = 461 trigger type = 416
|
---|
105 | ev 5 data[0,0] = -66.4329317281 start_cell[0] = 474 trigger type = 416
|
---|
106 | ev 6 data[0,0] = 8.2917625181 start_cell[0] = 485 trigger type = 416
|
---|
107 | ev 7 data[0,0] = -41.6565116079 start_cell[0] = 498 trigger type = 416
|
---|
108 | ev 8 data[0,0] = 33.4668984163 start_cell[0] = 509 trigger type = 416
|
---|
109 | ev 9 data[0,0] = -28.520090549 start_cell[0] = 522 trigger type = 416
|
---|
110 | ev 10 data[0,0] = -20.4925692795 start_cell[0] = 533 trigger type = 416
|
---|
111 |
|
---|
112 | This should work at ISDC only, but if it does not work, please ask somebody for help.
|
---|

115 | 6. Old way of creating the so files
|

116 | ===================================

117 |
|
---|
118 | -----------This is a depricated section---------------
|
---|
119 |
|
---|
120 | FACT data are stored in (gzipped) fits files, but the data files are too large to be read by the existing tools:
|
---|
121 |
|
---|

|
---|
142 |
|
---|
143 | check if it worked::
|

144 |
|
---|
145 | neise@isdc-viewer00:~/py/pyscripts/pyfact$ ls pyfits*
|
---|
146 | pyfits.h pyfits_h.d pyfits_h.so
|
---|
147 |
|
---|
148 |
|
---|
149 | This might not work for whatenver reason then you can try this::
|
---|
150 |
|
---|
151 | $rootcint -f my_dict.C -c pyfits.h izstream.h
|
---|
152 | $g++ -fPIC -c -I$ROOTSYS/include my_dict.C -o my_dict.o
|
---|
153 | $g++ -o pyfits_h.so -shared my_dict.o
|
---|
154 |
|
---|
155 |
|
---|
156 | In case one uses root 5.32 instead of root 5.28, one should do::
|
---|
157 |
|
---|
158 | neise@isdc-viewer00:~/py/pyscripts/pyfact$ root -b
