This sub-group provides the data quality monitoring software for the CMS Tracker, which will run on the Filter Farm. The software lstays inside ORCA and follows directly the infrastructure provided by the CMS Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) group. For visualization it uses the web browser and IGUANACMS. The Tracker Monitoring group collaborates closely with the Beam/System-Test sub-group and the Calibration groups. The respective tasks of the two Data-Handling sub-groups are described on the main Data-Handling web page.
