ADC Label Mapping

To make the generation of group formats easy there is a mechanism provided.
This assumes pre-defined names for each detector, obtained from the Event Builder setup, and allocates group ranges contiguously.
The *commands section of the sort description must use this naming convention.

The Control window of the TDR Event Builder software has a button labelled Generate MTsort Maps
which creates mapping files and places them in the current setup directory.

There are two files called currentsetup.MTmap and currentsetup.MTformats.
The latter file should be used as the sort input format specification.
If the sort setup directory is not the same as the EB setup directory, then these two files must be copied over.

Time Stamps

The handler supports reading, arithmetic and test functions on 64-bit entities - hence time stamps are supported.


Online Handler

This handler reads data blocks over a pseudo-TapeServer connection directly from the TDR Event Builder using port 10305.
The port number can be changed in the handler config window prior to running.

Tape

This handler supports tapes that have been written in ANSI format by the TDR Event Builder.


Disc

This handler supports disc files that have been written by the TDR Event Builder.
