Comprehensive Review of FTPC Software and Calibration Processes at BNL

This detailed review by Janet Seyboth provides an in-depth analysis of FTPC software, calibration methods, and data management practices used at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Key topics include the integration of DAQ systems, online monitoring tools, gas system control, and the use of MySQL databases for data storage. The report highlights the importance of calibration tables, drift velocity analysis, and the distinction between FTPC and TPC measurements. Additionally, it covers the operational stability of existing software, and the significance of ongoing testing and documentation efforts.
