Source directory /data/lofarschool/data/Exercise-CR1
Contact person Andreas Horneffer, Lars Bähren

Prerequisite

  • Some C/C++ programming.
  • Installed USG software (CR-Tools package)
  • Successful completion of Exercise CR0
/data/lofarschool/data/Exercise-CR
`-- 2006.02.23.04:02:50.283.event

And the exercise_cr3 executable.

  1. Execute the exercise_cr3 programm.
  2. This processes one LOPES event in three different ways.
  3. Play around with the parameters in the source and see what happens.

The unmodified programm produces the following output:
