Description of common blocks

Note: some of these common blocks contain many variables that are not of interest to the casual user. I only describe the major ones.

Basic parameters

parameters common to many of the common blocks.

Setup common block

comchtim_init contains the number of chambers, and the number strips and wires per chamber and the RAM tables.

Data common blocks

mch2d_to_mc_trig contains the strip and wire information. Used to pass the information from mch2d (where it is digitized) to mc_trig (where the trigger is simulated).

comchtim_input also contains the strip and wire information, albeit it in a different format. Used to pass the information from mc_trig to the actual trigger simulation.

Output common blocks

comchtim_output contains the results from the C++ trigger simulation.

lct contains the cathode and anode LCTs found.

The last common block can be accessed by using the include file muon/mc_uty/mc_trig.inc and is the one that should be used for further analysis.
