void PauliBlocker::Configure ( const Registry & config )

virtual

Configure the algorithm with an external registry The registry is merged with the top level registry if it is owned, Otherwise a copy of it is added with the highest priority

Reimplemented from genie::Algorithm.

void PauliBlocker::Configure ( string config )

virtual

Configure the algorithm from the AlgoConfigPool based on param_set string given in input An algorithm contains a vector of registries coming from different xml configuration files, which are loaded according a very precise prioriy This methods will load a number registries in order of priority: 1) "Tunable" parameter set from CommonParametes. This is loaded with the highest prioriry and it is designed to be used for tuning procedure Usage not expected from the user. 2) For every string defined in "CommonParame" the corresponding parameter set will be loaded from CommonParameter.xml 3) parameter set specified by the config string and defined in the xml file of the algorithm 4) if config is not "Default" also the Default parameter set from the same xml file will be loaded Effectively this avoids the repetion of a parameter when it is not changed in the requested configuration

Reimplemented from genie::Algorithm.
