Description

This is an example of the C++ code (and its configuration in Python) needed to extract the trigger information from CMS Open/Legacy data. These instructions are valid to work with 2010 data. Snippets of this software can be used for physics analysis.

The examples, within the code, have plenty of in-line comments to make it more understandable and to point potential users to the original information sources. It has been put together compiling the most important pieces of already-available CMSSW software.
