Neutrino analyzers:
As you probably know, the final ERP calibration procedure produces
a MASK file that suggests bad counters to be excluded from analysis.
I have prepared an implementation of handling these MASK files and
the information therein. You can find it in
AXPGS0::DISK$SCRAUSA2:[KATSVNDS.ATTICO.CALIB_MASK]
It is in standard YPATHY that anyone can trivially include it in any
analysis job. The (fortran) code handles all FILE accessing that
is good for VAX/VMS (sorry unix users). The MASK array that loads in
memory works fine for the way I do the ERP analysis- however, it might
not be the case for your analysis. Below you may find the comments
section from the cradle file.
Hope you find it useful.

C ==============================================================================
C This is an implementation of the new CALIBRATION MASK read-in. The program
C is organized in two sequences: CALWEEKS and CRUNMASK. Make appropriate
C changes in CALWEEKS to define the area from where WEEK MASK info is read.
C Basic assumption: there is a top directory area below which all weeks
C live as subdirectories. In each subdirectory there exist a week_run#.MASK
C which is readin. Logic DOES NOT HANDLE .non.VXMACA MACRO RUNs (sorry).
C Within the MASK file, three patterns are expected: "TDC","ADC" and "IERP"
C The MASK is implemented through a 6x84 array corresponding to the 6 SMs
C and 84 boxes/SM. If a box (iSM,iBOX) is not masked, the value of the
C iSM,iBOX element of the array is zero. If it IS mask, a bitwise number
C is constructed as follows:
C (TDCmask)*1+(ADCmask)*2+(IERPmask)*4 where TDC/ADC/IERPmasks are =1 if true.
