Design of the Software

For specific information on any of the MuID classes or functions, please see the source documentation.

• Data classes

  Objects of these class types contain the MuID data. The objects are kept on the PHOOL data tree while a chain is running. These classes are identified by a "dMui" or "TMui" prefix: "dMui" specifies a STAF-style table, while "TMui" is used for any class type.

  • Geometry and address classes

    These classes, TMuiGeometry and TMuiAddressTable, manage the geometry and address data, respectively, and provide a convenient interface to the data. The data are retrieved from external data files or from the PHENIX Objectivity database.

  • Parameter classes

    These classes contain the parameters that control the operation of the various modules. They are typically STAF-style tables (with a "dMui" prefix), and can be identified by the "Control", "Ctrl", or "Par" in the class name.

• Module classes

  These classes are responsible for operating on the data. They are identified by the "mMui" prefix.

• Utility classes
