Description
At the ATLAS experiment, the Detector Control System (DCS) is used to
oversee detector conditions and supervise the running of equipment.
It is essential that information from the DCS about the status of
individual sub-detectors be extracted and taken into account when
determining the quality of data taken and its suitability for different
analyses.
DCS information is written online to the ATLAS conditions database
(COOL) and then summarised to provide a status flag for each sub-detector
and displayed on the web. We discuss how this DCS information should be
used, the technicalities of making this summary, and experience in running
the tool during the period of cosmic ray data taking in 2008.
