There is an old online program used for the last year beam tests at H8. This program is called from the main online program and decodes for each event the data, fills histograms for the wire map and correlations between the different detectors. These correlations are used to do a simple tracking and extracting the efficiencies for the DUT's.

The task the new online program should perform are:

• wire maps for all detectors, occupancy per channel.
• masking bad channels.
• use the anchor planes for tracking
• calculate efficiencies for the DUT's
• print out the results for a run, so that they can be combined with those of other runs. (for example: plot efficiency versus threshold).
• correlations between detector efficiency and TDC

To make the program more user friendly all parameters that frequently change should be read from a file so that no source code editing has to be done. Parameters are:

• the detectors which are read out (dsp#, link#)
• offset of the detectors to each other (important for tracking)
• bad channel list to mask bad channels

For the interface between the user and the program, PAW can be used (the style mode, with predefined commands).
