Running the Halo Emulator

Python Files:

CMSSW_2_1_X:

• In your .py file, you must have the line: process.load("Configuration.StandardSequences.SimL1Emulator_cff")
• In your execution you must include the sequences process.simCsctfTrackDigis and process.simCsctfDigis

Config Files (2_0_X and before):

CMSSW_2_0_X:

• In you .cfg file you must include L1Trigger/Configuration/data/L1MuonEmulator.cff
• If the data file you are running on has CSC and DT digis, you only need to run the modules csctfTrackDigis and csctfDigis.
• If your data file does not have CSC and DT digis, then you will need to run the defined sequence L1MuonTriggerPrimitives

CMSSW_1_6_X, CMSSW_1_7_X, & CMSSW_1_8_X

• In these versions, the emulator modules were defined in different code and had different names.
• The steps are the same as in 2_0_X, but the CSCTF emulator modules are now called l1CscTfTrackEmulDigis and l1CscTfEmulDigis.

CMSSW_1_5_X

• This version is the same as the 1_6_X-1_8_X series except that the name of the trigger primitives module is different in L1MuonEmulator.cff
• The new name is l1MuonTriggerPrimitives

CMSSW_1_4_X

• You should not be running in a CMSSW version this old, the software is out of date and no longer accurately models the firmware. This is probably true for CMSSW_1_5_X - 1_7_X too.
