<br>
I have checked in some changes to the DAQ plugin that implement an alternative for reading in the EVIO<br>
files. This addresses some of the corruption issues we’ve been seeing, particularly with data taken after<br>
the Thanksgiving break. The new code implements error recovery so that it can skip past bad areas it<br>
detects within the file. It also allows use to reallocate user buffers if it runs across a large event (this<br>
was the problem forcing to allocate 20MB buffers.)<br>
<br>
Testing of this has been *extremely* limited up to now so it is still not the default. Early adopters who want<br>
to help with beta testing can enable it by setting the #define of USE_HDEVIO at the top of the<br>
DAQ/JEventSource_EVIO.cc file to 1 instead of zero and recompiling.<br>
<br>
For those brave souls willing to test this out, please send me any feedback. Particularly if you<br>
come across a file that causes a crash.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
