The table below gives the priority of the software triggers in PRUDE. Following the table is a description and history of each software trigger ordered by KPRID; the valid KPRID values are
10, 11, 13, 20, 30, 31, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 48, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 59, 60, 70, 80, 90, 120, and 130, The Gatemaster/hardware triggers can be found else where and through links below.
Note that not all hardware and software triggers were ever active all at the same time (see individual trigger histories). Histories start at run 5000 (special runs have been excluded).

* Autopass Description

Autopass is a software prescale factor used to automatically pass events from a hardware trigger. Events which pass the Autopass software prescale factor are automatically written to tape independent of any PRUDE filter-analysis result. An Autopass value of 1 means that every hardware trigger of that Gatemaster channel is written. Large non-1 values (>10) are used to pass a percentage (<10%) of the hardware trigger to check the efficiency of the PRUDE filtering.

*

* PRUDE Prescale Description

The PRUDE prescale factor is applied after an event has been analyzed and assign to a software trigger but before written to tape. Non-1 values have been used to tune the tape writing rates. PRUDE prescaling was only applied to KPRIDs of 11 and 59 during year 2000 E835 running.

* PRUDE Bits Description

Below are two tables (one for each PRUDE trigger word) with the bits description used in PRUDE.
Note PRUDE uses 37/75MeV CCAL clustering thresholds, a window of 100-170MeV for pi0 and 450-650MeV for eta, and the difference between formed and exclusive is that the latter excludes the two clusters combining with other clusters to form another acceptable mass.
