+# Eventdisplay Analysis Files - version v450
+
+Configuration and runparameter files for Eventdisplay
+
+Required for the analysis of VERITAS data. Analysis requires additional IRF files (lookup tables, radial acceptances, etc) - these are available through the UCLA archive.
+
+Further information on this relase: https://veritas.sao.arizona.edu/wiki/index.php/Eventdisplay_v450
+
+Following directories and files are available:
+
+ParameterFiles
+- parameter files required for running most steps of Eventdisplay
+- EVNDISP.global.runparameter (global parameters like VERITAS position; URL of VERITAS DB; location of VERITAS raw data archive)
+- VERITAS.Epochs.runparameter (definition of VERITAS epochs (V4,V5,V6); summer/winter; absolute gains)
+- EVNDISP.reconstruction.runparameter (parameters used in eventdisplay reconstruction)
+- EVNDISP.specialchannels.dat (definition of special channels like L2 channels)
+- EVNDISP.validchannels.dat (criteria for dead channel finders)
+- ANASUM.runparameter (parameter file for anasum step)
+- ANASUM.timemask.dat (time mask example for anasum step)
+- ANASUM.runlist (run list example for anasum step)
+
+GammaHadronCutFiles
+- parameter files for gamma/hadron separation cuts
+
+AstroData:
+- example catalogues and typical Crab Nebula spectra
+
+Calibration 
+- low-gain calibration files required for Eventdisplay analysis
+- pulse-shapes used in CARE simulations (Calibration/CareSimulations)
+- example file for calibration list to be used to overwrite DB flasher/laser values in the anlaysis (Calibration/calibrationlist.dat)
+
+DetectorGeometry
+- configuration files for pixel and telescope positions
+
+Frogs
+- Frogs parameter files (experimental)
