Hi,
Some time ago I posted the following message on roottalk about the
software used in a testbeam of the LHCb Outer Tracker. This software
makes use of several features of ROOT, including the use in an online
environment. I finally found the time to make some documentation on this
software available on the web. If you are intrested have a look from:
http://home.cern.ch/~lhcbott/software/Index.html
Among explanation on the software, class documentation, etc... also a demo
version is provided. This demo may be used to show the use of ROOT in an
online environment. Please note that the software and the documentation
are subject to constant changes and additions which might make it
inconsistent at some points.
If you have any comments or suggestions please contact me.
Cheers,
Rutger van der Eijk
p.s. Thanks to Fons Rademakers for testing the demo version on Linux, and
to Philippe Canal for providing the input for the SGI/Irix (KAI/KCC)
makefile.

Hi Jaehoon,
We are currently having a testbeam for the 'Outer Tracker' for the LHCb
experiment. The DAQ control and data monitoring software is completely
written within a ROOT framework. The 'setup' is quite general and could be
addopted to other (test)experiments. At the least it can serve as an
example of how to use ROOT for such a task. It gives a (good?) example of
the use of the 'networking classes' (TSocket etc), '3d graphics and
detector geometry classes (TNode etc..)', 'GUI classes (for event display
etc...)' and the basic ROOT classes (root IO, histogramming etc...).
At the moment we are rather overloaded with the testbeam itself. I plan to
make a report/evaluation and documentation on the web after we finish the
testbeam (end November). If you are intrested now please send me directly
an email and I could send you some examples/code.
Cheers,
Rutger van der Eijk
