2 Running the CLICSiD Example
DDEve is started using the root executable. In the following we describe how to start a display application of using the CLICSiD example.
$> root.exe $DD4hepINSTALL/examples/DDEve/DDEve.C
When the command is issued the following display shows up:
Click on ”Dismiss” then the file browser opens and you have to select a configuration file:
Move to the directory $DD4hepINSTALL/examples/CLIDSid/eve and open the configuration file DDEve.xml. The basic idea is that as an application is truely generic and that all subsequent behavior
Next you should see the default pane with the instantiated CLICSiD detector:
Then open from the "DD4hep" menu the item "Open Event Data". Move again to the directory $DD4hepINSTALL/examples/CLIDSid/eve and open the sample file CLICSiD_Events.root containing a sample of events being the output of a DDG4 simulation step:
Using the "Views" menu other predefined detector views may be used.
The "Eve" tab on the pane to the left allows to further customize the predefined views, the Evt I/O tab to control which event should be displayed.
