Event Filtering

From MidasWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search


Events can be filtered by the MIDAS logger (mlogger) into different saved files based on the Event ID or the Trigger Mask (see MIDAS Event Structure). They are specified in the Frontend Equipment List of an event.


To filter events in this way, it is necessary to set up the required number of logging Channels. By default, only one logging channel is created.

Event selection for each of the logging channels can be done by specifying the Event ID key and/or the Trigger mask key

Use the Filename key to specify the path and/or filename for each logging channel.
