Detailed Description

be configured to load conditions objects from CSV files.

Configuration via Python uses the following parameters: "dataType", "columns", "entries" "DataType may be "int" or "double". The "columns" parameter is the list of names of data columns to be read out. The mapping of CSV files to IOVs can be provided either through the python code (appropriate mostly for rather small sets of conditions information) or through a CSV file which indentifies the mapping. The "entries" array in python is an array of parameter sets used for direct configuration from python. Each entry must contain a "URL" The entry <em>may</em> contain "firstRun", "lastRun", "runType", and "values". If "firstRun" is not provided, -1 is assumed. If "lastRun" is not provided, -1 is assumed. The parameter "runType" could have the value "data", "MC", or "any". If "runType" is not provided, "any" is assumed. The parameter "values" is only used when the URL is "python:". In this case, the value for each column will be taken from the values array and the configuration is expected to be independend of id. The "entriesURL" is a URL pointing to a CSV file containing the following columns: "FIRST_RUN" which is an integer column indicating the first run of the IOV, or -1 for no lower limit "LAST_RUN" which is an integer column indicating the last run of the IOV, or -1 for no upper limit "RUNTYPE" which is a string column with the expected values "data", "MC" or "any". This column is not case-sensitive. "URL" which is a string column indicating the location of the table.

In any URL, envrironment variables in the format ${VARNAME} will be expanded. In addition, there are some special 'environment' variables:

${LDMX_CONDITION_BASEURL} will be replaced with the parameter 'conditions_baseURL' set in the python configuration.
${LDMX_CONDITION_TAG} will be replaced with the tagname provided in the constructor.
