Detailed Description

A pure analysis process used to calculate event rates and other time observables.

This process adds observables related to the event time and measured rate to the analysis tree.

Inside a TRestProcessRunner chain this process might be added as follows:

or

<addProcess type="TRestEventRateAnalysisProcess" name="rate">
   <observable name="MeanRate_InHz" />
</addProcess>

Observables

SecondsFromStart: It takes the time of the event and subtracts the time of the first event.
HoursFromStart: SecondsFromStart divided by 3600.
EventTimeDelay: It counts the time from the previous event to the present one.
MeanRate_InHz: It records the mean rate using the last 10 events. It divides 10 by the time in seconds between the first and the last entry.

You may add filters to any observable inside the analysis tree. To add a cut, write "cut" sections in your rml file:

<TRestEventRateAnalysisProcess name=""  ... >
    <cut name="MeanRate_InHz" value="(0,10)" />
</TRestEventRateAnalysisProcess>
