The following pieces of software have are used in the simulation of the WALTA cosmic ray detector:
CORSIKA was not written by the WALTA group. It was written at Karlsruhe University for the KASKADE experiment, and is recognized by the community as the leading air-shower simulation. We use it to simulate the shower, then use software below to simulate the response of the array.
Wasp is a program to simulate the response of an air-shower array to a cosmic ray shower. The inputs are a CORSIKA data file respresenting the shower and a description of the array, and the output is a list of hits in each detector of the array.
Waspview is a program to display the response of an array to a shower.
We are in prototyping stages for the hardware and software which will be used at the remote sites.
This is C code to read a Motorola GPS unit, based on code by Hans Berns for the Super-Kamiokande project. It was developed for Linux, but should run on a variety of Un*x systems. This code may not be the most current. Check with the author for updates.
Very simple code to read ADC input from a Computer Boards CIO-DAS48-PGA. To be really correct, this functionality should be put into a kernel module. If we wind up using this board a lot, then I'll go through the trouble.
