T his page is intended for casual users of the DIRC R&D environment, the PMT scanning setup and the cosmic ray telescope setup and is written strictly from a user's point of view. The goal is to give a relatively brief overview of the procedures involved in starting and ending runs and running simple analysis programs. The software package itself is throughout often referred to as "CRT" software - although the software covers both setups.
For the expert user README files written by Mayank Jain and documentation written by Thomas Hadig explain the gory details of the CRT software:
Thomas maintains a nice web page that explains the CRT software in detail.
Mayank wrote several README files as documentation of program use cases, they're available here.
