SpecTcl-3.0 new features

SpecTcl Home  General Information User Guide Programmer's Guide Obtaining and Installing

• 2-d sum spectra have been added. These are a multiply incremented 2-d spectrum. See the spectrum documentation for more informatino
• A buffer processing framework has been added to SpecTcl. This framework can be used independently of SpecTcl to do ad-hoc analysis of NSCL structured event files. For more information about this, see the programming guide.
• Man pages are being added for new stuff. If SpecTcl is installed in SpecTclHome, the man pages wil be in SpecTclHome/man
• Event processing software has been written that allows you to access scaler data and control buffer data from analysis of NSCL formatted data buffers. Since this is NSCL buffer format specific, you will have to explicitly enable this. See the the programming guide. for information on how to do this.
• Event processing software has been written that allows you to recover run variables and run state variables that are created by the production readout skeleton. This mechanism allows you, in conjunction with the controlpush program, to recover control system data from within SpecTcl. See the the programming guide for more information on how to do this.
• The TreeParameter package contributed by Daniel Bazin has been completely integrated with SpecTcl-3.0. For more information about this, see the tree parameter documentation
• All listing commands now support glob patterns.
• New gate types to support bit mask gates are now available. See the gate command documentation for more information about these new gates.
• The handling of gamma spectra and gamma gates has been redone to better support gamma particle coincidence data. Gamma gates can be applied to spectra or serve in combination with other gates (e.g particle id and gamma gate). Gamma spectra now support a fold which serves the function previously served by gamma gates. See the gate and fold command documentation for more information about these concepts.
