What's this PR about?

Related to the issue #338 ,

@bobae0124 developed a timeline for the DAQ config, such as ATOF pedestals, when there is timeline_daq config, such as

/volatile/clas12/bobaekim/clas12-timeline/outfiles/alert-daqconfig/timeline_daqconfig/

How was timeline_daqconfig prepared?

The timeline_daqconfig was from evio2xml output.

The next thing is probably to add this step somewhere in the script, rather than bash command lines.

please put the changes you want in qtl-analysis, not a new script

We are not using any of .hipo output, produced by qtl-histogram. Should we still need qtl-analysis?

Again, it's not analysis of histogram from qtl-histogram. Does it have to be in run_analysis.groovy?

println([name,timelineArg,engine.getClass().getSimpleName(),inputDir])
def fnames = []
inputDir.traverse {
if(it.name.endsWith('.daq.config') && it.name.contains(name))

what produces these *.daq.config files?

Probably evio2xml -maxevents 0 /cache/clas12/rg-l/data/clas_0[run]/clas_0[run].evio.00000 | grep PETIROC_REG_VTH_TIME >> [run]/out_ALERT_[run].daq.config

It's not even in a hipo format. It's just txt file like,

#PETIROC_REG_VTH_TIME                 500 # Use value above ~400 for Pulser Injector signals

In conclusion, pipeline is totally different from qtl-analysis, which takes .hipo file from qtl-histogram. This is the first set of run daq config, which has never run before. I suggest a separate script and directory, because of the same reason we have a separate qtl-physics for physics timeline from qtl-histogram+qtl-analysis for detector timeline.

The daq config is fixed when we take the data, and it doesn't have to be produced every time we update detector timeline.

The diff between qtl-daqconfig and qtl-analysis is very small, and similarly for run_analysis.groovy and run_daqconfig.groovy; putting the changes that you need in the existing scripts should be straightforward, whereas copying these scripts and making minimal changes is a serious DRY violation.

I think it's perfectly fine to make qtl-histogram create text files and have qtl-analysis read them; this is done in the qtl-histogram -> qtl-physics sequence already.

Note that qtl-physics is currently a kluge, needed until I can re-implement the qa-physics/ code more cleanly in src/, after which qtl-analysis will also create physics timelines and qtl-phyics can finally be removed. That will take quite some time, though.
