PS-generate

Prescale table generation tool

Basic usage

Use this tool to create a new prescale table according to a new L1 Menu, using information from an existing prescale table.

Working with local files

Use the tool by running the Python script and passing both an existing prescale table and a given L1 menu (see example below).

bash run-ps-generate.py PStable.xlsx L1Menu.xml

Download files on-the-fly

It is also possible to pass URLs instead of the local filepaths of a prescale table or an XML menu, as the following example demonstrates.

bash run-ps-generate.py https://github.com/cms-l1-dpg/L1Menu2018/raw/master/official/PrescaleTables/PrescaleTable-1_L1Menu_Collisions2018_v2_1_0.xlsx https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cms-l1-dpg/L1Menu2018/master/official/XMLs/L1Menu_CollisionsHeavyIons2018_v4_0_0.xml

The files are stored in temporary directories and are removed by the operating system automatically. No need for manual cleanup.

The given URLs must refer to files that are downloadable via wget.

Optional arguments:

  • -output: Specify the name of the output file, without file extension (default: "new_PStable")

If run successfully, the tool creates a new xlsx file ("PStable_new.xlsx") which contains the seeds of the passed L1 menu XML with their corresponding prescale values (if they existed in the passed PS table).
