const DFC_cfg * DFC_cfgSet	(	DFC *	dfc,
		DFC_cfg *	cfg
	)

Makes the specified internal representation of the configuration parameters the current active one.

Returns:

Pointer to the current control configuration parameters

Parameters:

	dfc	The diagnostic filter control structure
	cfg	The internal representation of the configuration constants

int DFC_cfgSizeof

(

void

)

Sizes the diagnostic filtering configuration as it is used in the actual filtering progam.

Returns:

Returns the size of the heavy ion filtering configuration control structure

There are two different breeds of the filtering configuration structure. There are two reasons for this. The more familar is the configuration structure that the user fills in. This structure is meant to be convenient for the user, but not for the program. Some of the information in the user structure is transformed into data that the program will find more accessible.

The second reason is that by having a user configuration and an internal configuration, the two can evolve separately. If more parameters are added to the filter, they will find a home in the internal structure. At some time they may be exposed to the user. The correct course of action is to define a new version of the user configuration block. Since the version number is carried along with the configuration constants, the routine transforming the user configuration to its internal representation can evolve and can be made to handle older versions of the user configuration parameters with some degree of grace, at least giving some hope to backward compatibility.

The correct usage model is

       ctlCfg = malloc (DFC_cfgSizeof ());
       status = DFC_cfgCompile (cfg, usrPrms);
       DFC_cfgSet (dfc, cfg);

Note:

Because the 'set routine just seeds a pointer to the user configuration, in the control structure. the user is free to swap it out with any other pre-prepared configuration.

int DFC_filter	(	DFC *	dfc,
		unsigned int	pktBytes,
		EBF_pkt *	pkt,
		EBF_siv	siv,
		EDS_fwIxb *	ixb,
		unsigned int	vetoes,
		DFC_result *	result
	)

Determines the fate of 1 event.

Return values:

	<	0, rejected
	==0,undecided
	>	0, accepted

Parameters:

	dfc	The diagnostic filter control structure
	pktBytes	The number of bytes in pkt, includes the packet header
	pkt	The event data packet
	siv	The packet's state information vector
	ixb	The information exchange block
	vetoes	The active vetoes
	result	The filter result vector

Overview

This acts as a wrapper of the actual filter. This is were the sampling logic is implemented by the use prescalers. A prescaler is defined by a pair of integers; one giving the current countdown value and the other giving the refresh value. When the countdown value reaches 0, the prescaler is said to expire.

Types of prescaling

There are two kinds of samplings allow.

1. Pass-thru sampling
2. Individual veto sampling

Pass-Thru Sampling

Conceptually this is the easiest to understand. When the pass-thru prescaler expires, instead of using the normal veto mask, a 0 is used, effectively causing the filter to evaluate all its cuts but not allowing an cut to veto the event. While easy to understand, the event sample leaked through by this technique will be dominated by events that would normally have been rejected by the very early cuts.

Individual Veto Sampling

This prescaler type allows to ignore the reject decision of each veto bit. While a bit harder to understand than the Pass-Thru Sampling, this technique allows one to tap a predetermined percentage of events failing at each cut. The hope is that one will be a statisitically meaningful sample of events that would have normally failed some of the later cuts in the filter.
