Short Description

correct nsb spectrum to telescope altitude

1.0.0

atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat

Correct the night-sky background spectrum to the telescope altitude from the altitude where the Benn & Ellison spectrum was measured. The correction is done within sim_telarray and is based on the atmospheric transmission to 2200 m a.s.l (atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat).

iobuf maximum

1.0.0

1000000000 byte

Buffer limits for input and output of eventio data.

iobuf output maximum

1.0.0

400000000 byte

The maximum size of the I/O buffer for output data, including raw data for all telescopes.

min photoelectrons

1.0.0

25

Minimum number of detected photoelectrons required before running electronics simulation.

min photons

1.0.0

300

Minimum number of photons required before doing simulation.

random generator

mt19937

Random generator used.

sampled output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe with amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store photoelectrons

1.0.0

20

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut scale

1.0.0

2.6

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

sampled output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe with amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store photoelectrons

1.0.0

26

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut scale

1.0.0

2.3

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store photoelectrons

1.0.0

26

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut scale

1.0.0

2.3

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

Short Description

correct nsb spectrum to telescope altitude

1.0.0

atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat

Correct the night-sky background spectrum to the telescope altitude from the altitude where the Benn & Ellison spectrum was measured. The correction is done within sim_telarray and is based on the atmospheric transmission to 2200 m a.s.l (atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat).

iobuf maximum

1.0.0

1000000000 byte

Buffer limits for input and output of eventio data.

iobuf output maximum

1.0.0

400000000 byte

The maximum size of the I/O buffer for output data, including raw data for all telescopes.

min photoelectrons

1.0.0

25

Minimum number of detected photoelectrons required before running electronics simulation.

min photons

sampled output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe with amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store photoelectrons

1.0.0

22

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe with amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store photoelectrons

1.0.0

22

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut scale

1.0.0

2.6

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

2.3

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe with amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

1.0.0

20

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

sampled output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe with amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store photoelectrons

1.0.0

20

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut scale

1.0.0

1

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe with amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store photoelectrons

1.0.0

10

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut scale

1.0.0

1

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

store photoelectrons

1.0.0

10

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut scale

1.0.0

1

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

Short Description

correct nsb spectrum to telescope altitude

1.0.0

atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat

Correct the night-sky background spectrum to the telescope altitude from the altitude where the Benn & Ellison spectrum was measured. The correction is done within sim_telarray and is based on the atmospheric transmission to 2200 m a.s.l (atm_trans_2200_1_3_0_0_0.dat).

iobuf maximum

1.0.0

1000000000 byte

Buffer limits for input and output of eventio data.

iobuf output maximum

1.0.0

400000000 byte

The maximum size of the I/O buffer for output data, including raw data for all telescopes.

min photoelectrons

1.0.0

12

Minimum number of detected photoelectrons required before running electronics simulation.

min photons

1.0.0

250

Minimum number of photons required before doing simulation.

random generator

mt19937

Random generator used.

sampled output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe with amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store photoelectrons

1.0.0

10

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut scale

1.0.0

1

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.

1.0.0

12

Minimum number of detected photoelectrons required before running electronics simulation.

min photons

1.0.0

250

Minimum number of photons required before doing simulation.

random generator

1.0.0

mt19937

Random generator used.

sampled output

1.0.0

True

Select a specific output format (if several available). A value of 0 means to write ADC sums, a value of 1 to write ADC samples.

save_pe with amplitude

1.0.0

True

True if photo-electron data is to be stored with the resulting amplitudes (in mean-p.e. units) in addition to the arrival times. Storing of photo-electron data should be activated separately (see save_photons (bit 1) and store_photoelectrons parameters) but non-zero values of this parameter will also activate save_photons bit 1. Storing p.e. in internal calibration events is controlled separately by save_calibration_pe.

store photoelectrons

1.0.0

10

While the save_photons=2 configuration option will save photo-electron data for all events, this parameter allows to set a lower limit on the number of photo-electrons which must get registered before deciding to store them. Setting it to a value of zero or bigger (default: -1) will automatically enable the corresponding save_photons bit. It should be cross-checked that the min_photons parameter is unlikely to result in fewer than the given number of photo- electrons, as no attempt is made to trace photons through the telescope and produce any photo-electrons if there are too few photons in the first place.

tailcut scale

1.0.0

1

The special scheme for selecting pixels belonging to a shower image as implemented in sim_telarray (as opposed to the traditional two-level tailcut scheme) has multiple thresholds for the various levels of confidence that a pixel actually belongs to the shower image. Instead of making them individually configurable, a common scale factor can be applied to all of them.
