To Do

• Compilation for pi4 (tested an working)

g++ -L/opt/local/lib -I/opt/local/include/libftdi1 -lftdi1 -std=c++17 -Wno-psabi -O3 -pthread FTDI.cpp -o FTDI

• Compiling to pi5: gives an error -> fatal error: ftdi.h: No such file or directory

If we use g++ -L/usr/lib -I/usr/include/libftdi1 -lftdi1 -pthread -std=c++17 -O3 -Wno-psabi FTDI.cpp -o FTDI

we also get an error. We modify the code to the following, this gives a warning but creates the executable

g++ -L/usr/lib -I/usr/include/libftdi1 -std=c++17 -O3 -Wno-psabi FTDI.cpp -o FTDI -lftdi1 -pthread

• Geant4 calibration source

GUI

Version 2.1

This version displays the data from a file selected via a dropdown menu (using php), the Kelleter and Bortfeld curves, and the energy and range of the beam as a legend. https://www.hep.ucl.ac.uk/pbt/PDdisplay/escribano/v2.1/

• Create a file with Manchester data
• Fix cache busting in Google Chrome
• Overlap between users in different browsers
• Determine number of points per PD for files
• Responsivity in different devices is not considered

Version 2.06

Version 2.06 has a unique start/stop button and displays live data when running a shell script via terminal.

• Zooming issue: PDdata and fitted data do not scale at the same rate, when zooming there is a shifting between the two -> Use linear scales for both ✓
• When clicking stop freeze the graph but do not make it dissapear ✓
• Modify code to give - instead of 0 when fit not performed ✓
• Plot data with 20 points ✓

Version 2.05

Version 2.05 has two separate start and stop button

• Upload files to new directory ✓
• Modify position of error bars ✓
• x-axis zooming problem: only some numbers work ✓
• Fix misalignment between PDdata and FITdata ✓
• Test access from NUC PC ✓

Replay + Fit

Two different codes are used for the data analysis: replay.py and fit.cpp, their functionalities are described below.

replay.py code calibrates and subtracts the background of each measurement, generating an output text file with header information, all the individual calibrated measurements and the average of them all. An example file with data from Clatterbridge Hospital of what the generated file looks like can be found here [1], every individual run fit takes ~3.3s on a MacBook to be completed. All of them can be processed together by running the shell script ./replayshell.sh. To run this code we need the following arguments:

python3 replay.py t_INT framerate skipahead reverse folder run background backST frontST

fit.cpp averages the data at a user specified frequency (or generic 25 Hz) and then performs Bortfeld and Kelleter fits to the data. After the fitting, the beam energy and range are extracted for each of those averaged measurements. All of them can be processed together by running the shell script ./fitshell.sh An example of what the output of fit.cpp looks like can be found here [2]. This code needs to be compiled, and then run with the appropriate arguments.

g++ -o fit fit.cpp `root-config --cflags --glibs` -O3
./fit reverse energy facility folder run (frequency)

To show these data in the GUI a shell script that iterates through the lines of the fitted output file is necessary.

Previously both of the codes were developed in cpp. The replay.cpp replays the DDC232 acquisition by either stepping through each measurement or averaging measurements at specified frame rate, while fit.cpp performs the fit on calibrated and background subtracted data.
