As you know, there are some partial SC in corners (?) of Dees and these partial SC have been grouped to form more or less complete R/O units. You can imagine that these R/O units are obviously across several diffusing spheres. The the 1-to-1 correspondence between SC and diffusing spheres is no more possible. The solution is a LUT. I have build one of these for my personal tests... I put it in attachment, but the best would be to take what Gautier has put is MUSECAL and which should be somewhere in CVS of CMSSW. In this file, PN number 1xx corresponds to PN xx of DCC with lower number and 2xx to PN xx of DCC of higher number. PNs are read by 2 DCCs in each Dee : Dee1 : 650, 651 Dee2 : 646, 647 Dee3 : 601, 602 Dee4 : 605, 606 PNA and PNB are the present PN numbers THA and THB are the theoretical numbers if cabling had been done correctly, and will be the real numbers after cabling corrections (fortunately next week).
