# Autocal file for ISSSort
#
# Pass this file to iss_sort with the -autocalfile flag

#
# Below are the default parameters that can be changed by uncommenting
# and passing this file to iss_sort during the (optional) autocal stage.
#
#
## Autocal global control options
#AutocalDebug: 0			// This prints more files and text to the console (if true) for the autocal stage if you are running into problems! But it will make the code run slower...
#AutocalOnlyManualFits: 0	// This only runs autocal on channels that have their fit parameters specified in this file
#AutocalFitShape: 0 // This chooses which kind of fit the code uses. The options are:
#					//		Gaussian = 0
#					//		Crystal Ball = 1
#AutocalRebinFactor: 1		// This decides how much to rebin the spectrum by. This must be an integer > 1 to do anything
#AutocalImageFileType: png	// The file type for images it prints. Make sure it's one ROOT can use (and is lowercase)!
#AutocalPrintBadCalibrations: 0	// Prints the calibration parameters for fits that fail to converge
#
#
## Autocal default fitting options
## Here, you can decide to override the default fitting options. These
## will apply globally to everything APART from the manually set
## parameters below
#DefaultFit.Background: 0.1							// Initial guess for background of alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.BackgroundLB: 0.0						// Lower limit for background of alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.BackgroundUB: 50.0						// Upper limit for background of alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.Sigma: 2.5								// Initial guess for sigma of each peak in alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.SigmaLB: 0.2							// Lower limit for sigma of each peak in alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.SigmaUB: 10.0							// Upper limit for sigma of each peak in alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.CrystalBallAlpha: 1						// Initial guess for alpha for crystal ball fit in alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.CrystalBallAlphaLB: 1e-6				// Lower limit for alpha for crystal ball fit in alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.CrystalBallAlphaUB: 10					// Upper limit for alpha for crystal ball fit in alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.CrystalBallN: 1							// Initial guess for n for crystal ball fit in alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.CrystalBallNLB: 1e-6					// Lower limit for n for crystal ball fit in alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.CrystalBallNUB: 20						// Upper limit for n for crystal ball fit in alpha spectrum
#DefaultFit.AmplitudeFractionLB: 0.2				// The lower limit for the amplitude of a peak expressed as a fraction of the height of the bin
#DefaultFit.AmplitudeFractionUB: 2.0				// The upper limit for the amplitude of a peak expressed as a fraction of the height of the bin
#DefaultFit.PeakWidthEstimate: 30					// A guess for the width of a window, centred on the centroid guess, that determines the upper and lower bounds for the centroid parameter
#DefaultFit.PeakHeightThresholdFraction: 0.08		// This fraction multiplied by the maximum amplitude in the spectrum determines a threshold on the number of counts, over which each peak must rise
#DefaultFit.PeakHeightDipFraction: 0.6				// Ensures that the number of counts has dipped to this fraction of the height of the last peak before being ready to record another peak
#DefaultFit.PeakChannelThresholdLB: 360				// Puts a lower limit on the channel number where peaks can be identified and fit
#DefaultFit.PeakChannelThresholdUB: 700				// Puts an upper limit on the channel number where peaks can be identified and fit
#DefaultFit.MissingPeakIsLast: 1					// Decides whether the spectrum has missed the first or last peak when detecting peaks
#
# Ignore channel
#   Ignore_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>:	# 1 = ignore this channel for all fitting; 0 = keep it in (the default!)
#
#
## Autocal manual fitting options
## Use this to set manual calibration parameters on particular modules, asics,
## and channels. This will to replace the "FindPeaks" function in the Autocal
## part of ISSSort, and gives a bit more fine tuning as to what the fitting does.
#
# The different parameters are:
#   man_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>.Background:		# This is the estimate of the background in the spectrum
#   man_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>.BackgroundLB:		# Lower bound constraint for background
#   man_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>.BackgroundUB:		# Upper bound constraint for background
#   man_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>.Sigma:			# This is the estimate of the standard deviation of your distribution
#   man_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>.SigmaLB:			# Lower bound constraint for background
#   man_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>.SigmaUB:			# Upper bound constraint for background
#   man_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>.Centroid_<peak number>:		# This is the guess of where the centroid of the peak is
#   man_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>.CentroidLB_<peak number>:		# Lower bound constraint for background
#   man_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>.CentroidUB_<peak number>:		# Upper bound constraint for background
#   man_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>.MissingPeakIsLast:			# If spectrum has a missing peak, say whether it is the last or first alpha particle
#
## Using any of these switches will turn on the manual fitting boolean. This
## behaviour can also be controlled/override any behaviour here by using the
## switch:
#   man_<mod>_<asic>_<ch>:			# 1 = turn on manual fitting; 0 = turn off, even if we have specified fitting parameters!
