iov_conditional - Functions to Execute Paths Depending on Experiment Phases

5.6.8. iov_conditional - Functions to Execute Paths Depending on Experiment Phases#

This module contains some convenience functions to execute different paths depending on the experiment run number. This allows to write one common steering file for phases 2 and 3.

Warning

All Modules will be initialized on startup of the framework. This might cause problems if the modules initialize some common global state. For example, adding Geometry modules with different parameters will not work as expected.

iov_conditional.PHASE2_IOVS = [(1, 0, 4, -1), (1002, 0, 1002, -1)]#

Definition of Phase 2 in a) real data and b) run-independent MC/development globaltags

iov_conditional.make_conditional_at(path, iov_list, path_when_in_iov, path_when_not_in_iov=None)[source]#

Branch the current path execution based on the given iov list. If the current exp/run is met by one of the IoV conditions, execute the path given in path_when_in_iov and continue the normal path afterwards. Otherwise execute the path_when_not_in_iov when given.

Basically, this function is just a wrapper around adding the IoVDependentCondition module to the path.

If you just need to distinguish between phase 2/3 please use phase_2_conditional()

Example

>>> make_conditional_at(path, iov_list=[(0, 0, 0, -1)],
...                     path_when_in_iov=exp_0_path,
...                     path_when_not_in_iov=not_exp_0_path)

will branch the path for all events with experiment number 0 to the modules in exp_0_path and into not_exp_0_path in all other cases.

Parameters:

  • path (basf2.Path) – Branch the execution of the given path.

  • iov_list (list(tuple)) – Under which IoV conditions should the path_when_in_iov be executed. It should be a list in the form [(min exp, min run, max exp, max run), ...]

  • path_when_in_iov (basf2.Path) – Which branch to execute, if one of the IoV conditions is met.

  • path_when_not_in_iov (basf2.Path) – If given, execute this path in all cases, none IoV condition is met.

iov_conditional.phase_2_conditional(path, phase2_path, phase3_path=None)[source]#

Handy shortcut for phase 2/3 conditional module execution.

make_conditional_at()

Parameters:

  • path (basf2.Path) – Branch the execution of the given path.

  • phase2_path (basf2.Path) – Call this path only when in phase 2.

  • phase3_path (basf2.Path) – When given, call this path only when in phase 3.
