How to make event displays:

e.g. use your analyzer, to pring run:lumi:event triples for the high mass events

Use the Edmtool for this:

if you don't have a cern account:

edmPickEvents.py is part of the PhysicsTools/Utilities package with tag V08-01-01 and works for CMSSW 382 or higher.

How to Run edmPickEvents.py

The script edmPickEvents.py can be run interactively or via a CRAB job. If you run interactively, before you run it, make sure you have the dataset that you want to pick events from, available locally. If you have few events to pick, run it interactively. In case you do not have the dataset available locally or you have a lot of events to pick, submit a CRAB job.

Run edmPickEvents.py Interactively

To run the script interactively do the following, for example

edmPickEvents.py "/EG/Run2010A-PromptReco-v4/RECO" 140160:98:82878561 140160,101,85437704

these instructions are for cern machines, reformat the output so that the files starte with file:/mnt/tier2/store instead of /store

running this command returns a RECO root file, and then all you have to do is:

cmsShow (your root file)

To setup a CMSSW release look HERE and then checkout the tag as follows:

cvs co -r V08-01-01 PhysicsTools/Utilities

Please remember to do scram b and rehash after checking out the package.
