Description

Client-side module for HCAL Data Quality Monitoring (DQM). This application evaluates the quality of the data collected by the server-side of the DQM process (HcalMonitorModule). Currently the package produces an output file with histograms and monitoring information. It also produces a simple HTML-based user-interface for each run processed.
