* Quick hodoscope coding work in hcana
 - code correctly reads all hodoscope constants from hhodo.pos and hhodo.param (see hhodo.pos - link does not work at the moment, sorry!).
 - AFAIK tell there are 4 types of variables: singular variables (one per hodoscope), simple doubles and ints (one per plane), arrays (indexed with the # of paddles), "padded arrays" (i.e. 4x16)
 - singular vars and "padded arrays" went in THcHodoscope, the others went into THcScintillatorPlane 
 - because h_reconstruction.f and h_tof.f explicitly depend on tracking (see links...) this is as far as I can push this without rewriting a (substantial portion) of the Fortran code.
 - We really need to get the tracking going as most/all other detectors depend on tracking being done first! I suggest I start doing some of that.

Dec 12th

Hall A & C data analysis workshop

Oct 16th 2012

• Steve Wood working on aerogel. To see what Steve is up to check his branch at https://hallcweb.jlab.org/git/?p=hcana.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/sawwork
• Ole made a minor change to the Makefile for the hcana. To see change go to https://hallcweb.jlab.org/git/?p=hcana.git;a=summary
• Ole talked about setting up a configuration builder to handle different platforms like Macs. Discussed whether it was useful to use CMAKE or AUTOCONF , but decided that a simpler approach that is used for building ROOT could be used.
• Discussed static analysis code analyzers for C++. If anyone has experience with these programs let Steve or Mark know what you prefer. Found the program cppcheck at http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/ which seems useful.
• On Dec 12th Hall A is having a software workshop. Planning to turn it into a joint A/C software workshop. If you have ideas for talks or topics to be discussed send them to Steve (saw@jlab.org) or Ole (ole@jlab.org).
