Overview

In the directory $CDMSBATSDIR/UserSettings/BatCalibSettings/calibration, is another set of configuration files. These contain all the parameters and calibration constants that are used by the various calibration algorithms. You can modify these parameters by changing the values in these files.

Glossary of Configuration Commands in BatCalib Calibration Terms

Layout

PARAMETER_NAME - Full name, replacing all shorthands - [Type]. Brief description, including units and valid inputs if applicable. Default: Value that all config files were set to, if applicable. Does not indicate that a value will be set automatically.

  • Directory within UserSettings that files including the parameter can be found: Subdirectory
    • Where data was taken (middle of filename): Runs that include this parameter (end of filename).
    • Alternatively, "Required" will be written if all config files in subdirectory must have the parameter to be run.
