Detailed Description

Class holding the deconvoluted signals from a channel.

Note
Despite the name, this class is associated to a readout channel, not just a wire

The channel content is expected to have been filtered from noise and corrected for electronics response. The content is presented as calibrated ADC counts, pedestal removed, as function of time in discrete TDC units (use TimeService to discover the exact extent of each tick). The content is organized as time intervals where some signal is present ("regions of interest", RoI), outside which we assume no signal, i.e, calibrated ADC counts of 0. Strictly speaking, the definition of the regions of interest is a negative one: we first define where we are sure no signal is present; the rest will constitute regions of interest. The identification of such regions is responsibility of the algorithm creating the Wire object. In the simple approach, the whole readout window is stored in a single region of interest, meaning that we don't claim any of the channel signal to be definitely signal free.

Algorithms using the regions of interest can access the channel signal information either ignoring the regions of interest, and being potentially flooded by zeroes from the non-signal regions:

for (float ADCcount: wire.Signal()) ...

or they can analyze region by region:

for (auto iROI = wire.begin_range(); wire.end_range(); ++iROI) {
  const datarange_t& ROI = *iROI;
  const int FirstTick = ROI.begin_index();
  const int EndTick = ROI.end_index();
  const float FirstADC = ROI[FirstTick]; // index access is by absolute tick number
  for (float ADC: ROI) // ... or you can just iterate through
  // ...
} // for

Note that the indexed access is always by absolute tick number. More examples of the use of SignalROI() return value are documented in lar::sparse_vector .

Each channel is associated with a raw::RawDigit object. These associations should be stored together with recob::Wire by the producer in a art::Assns data product.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

recob::Wire::Wire ( )

Default constructor: a wire with no signal information.

Definition at line 17 of file Wire.cxx.

20  , fSignalROI()
21  {}
Unknown view.
Definition: geo_types.h:83
raw::ChannelID_t fChannel
ID of the associated channel.
Definition: Wire.h:89
geo::View_t fView
View corresponding to the plane of this wire.
Definition: Wire.h:90
constexpr ChannelID_t InvalidChannelID
ID of an invalid channel.
Definition: RawTypes.h:31

Definition: Wire.h:91
recob::Wire::Wire ( RegionsOfInterest_t const &  sigROIlist,
raw::ChannelID_t  channel,
geo::View_t  view 
)

Constructor: uses specified signal in regions of interest.

Parameters
sigROIlistsignal organized in regions of interest
channelthe ID of the channel
viewthe view the channel belongs to

The information used from the raw digit are the channel ID and the length in samples (TDC ticks) of the original readout window.

Signal is copied into the Wire object. If possible, use the other constructor that moves the data instead.

recob::Wire::Wire ( RegionsOfInterest_t &&  sigROIlist,

)

Constructor: uses specified signal in regions of interest.

Parameters
sigROIlistsignal organized in regions of interest
channelthe ID of the channel
viewthe view the channel belongs to

The information used from the raw digit are the channel ID and the length in samples (TDC ticks) of the original readout window.

Signal information is moved from sigROIlist, that becomes empty.
