Writing and reading calibtration constants to/from DB

Full description of Laurent's tool allowing to dump, update and compare calibration coefficients can be found here: http://www.phenix.bnl.gov/~aphecetc/Computing/Tutorials/tutorial-emcdb.html
Here I'll give a few examples of most frequently used applications of this tool. The flavour is IniCal. So you would do:

emcDB --dump calib.emc.generic.IniCal --bankID x

where x = ( ( type << 24 ) & ( 0xFF000000 ) ) + ( number & 0xFFFFFF ) where type=1 and number is the sector number (from 0 to 7, PbGl being 6 and 7) The flavours are:

Gains	Time-dependent gain values
HLRatios	High to Low ratio values
Pedestals5	Pedestal values (5 ped per amu cell)
QAs	Quality & Assurance values
LCTofs	Least-Count ToF values
WalkTofs	Walk ToF values
TofT0s	ToF-T0 drift values
TacPeds	pedestal TAC drift values

To dump them on screen use:

emcDB --dump calib.emc.<flavour> --bankID x

where x is a FEM number. PbGl FEM numbers are 108 to 172.

emcDB --dump calib.emc.LCToFs --bankID 108 --insertedAfter "2004,01,01,0,0,0" --insertedBefore "2005,01,01,0,0,0"

emcDB --dump calib.emc.LCToFs --bankID 108 --endAfter "2004,01,01,0,0,0" --endBefore "2005,01,01,0,0,0"

emcDB --update /home/phnxpbgl/work/RawData/calib_run5/ASCII/ToF/  --forceDate "2001,08,01,12,45,00"

This directory must contain ASCII files in conventional format. Directory name and file names must have conventional format. File name format is <Sector>SM<FEM_number>.<Suffix>
--forceDate option overrides start of validity date with the pointed one.
