Tracker Visualization Tool:integration in ORCA

Maria S. Mennea, Giuseppe ZitoUniversity & INFN Bari, Italy

Tracker b-tau Cosmic Challenge preparation (Tracker week, June 2005)

Introduction

Classically monitoring is based on a histogram presenter that would show a set of histograms and tables updated regularly.

The CMS tracker has more than 50 millions channels organized in 16540 modules each one being a complete detector. Its monitoring requires many thousands of histograms to be computed every few minutes.

It could be useful to people in charge for monitoring to have also a representation that shows all modules at once in a single computer screen with single modules information coded in some way.

This representation should be useful as a special tracker event display for the cosmic challenge and tests that are now done for integration and commissioning

This "tracker map" is obtained disassembling the whole tracker and assembling it again on a flat surface putting the single modules in

positions which are connected to their spatial position.

The tracker map How to build a detector map!

Advantages of a tracker map

1. Data from each one of the data sources can be represented on the map. For example the single module can be shown in a colour code:

number of dead channels from construction database

total number of rechits hitting the module in the last 100 events readout

result of a comparison between the last histogram and a control histogram

2. Holes or hot spots in the map can pinpoint detector problems

3. May be used to request more data by using an interactive interface

(possibility to zoom)

Current status

Tool now available in IGUANACMS

demonstrative use

offline global view of data on POOL

Now we have a “Tracker Map” implemented in SVG format which runs in Orca without need to load special graphics software

Next step: online use of the Tool

attempt to use it in the general monitoring framework (C. Leonidopoulos)

idea: data producer in ORCA (Sources), fill 2D histogram (x= Layer Id ; y= Module Id) with a monitoring information, send it to the client which fills the SVG file with the information and visualize it

To build the tracker map the user will import only two classes and a txt file which is the javascript interface for the SVG image

TrackerMap class, TmModule class, trackermap.txt file

How to use the tool (like an histogram)

…

TrackerMap *tkMap = new TrackerMap(); …//loop on events //loop on DetUnit tkMap->fill( (*idet), value ); …

tkMap->print( flag );…

fill the TrackerMap

save on disk in SVG format

Future improvements

The tracker map can display in colour only a single information but you can store many information for each module in the value field. These informations will be shown after the user selects the module with the mouse

Connect to each module an image accessible via url (for example an histogram) and show the image when the mouse is over

Customization for cosmic challenge (only 500 modules and around 5 layers)

Possibility to fill complete layer or ring with same value

Possibility to define different colour gradients or colour palettes.

Summary

Simplified version of tracker map now available in IGUANACMS is now implemented in Orca without need to load special graphics software

It should be useful as a special tracker event display for the cosmic challenge and tests that are now done for integration and commissioning

The code is represented by 2 classes and around 500 lines total size. The tracker map is seen by the user as a normal histogram to be filled with some quantity defined for each module. When you save the tracker map, an SVG file (a normal text file created with cout) is saved on disc.

You can look at SVG file with a browser with a Adobe plugin installed. The image saved includes a minimum graphics interface with zoom and possibility to pick each module getting information about module position inside tracker and value of quantity represented for the module.

Plan to propose this tool to the software group for the possible integration in the common monitoring framework.
