Abstract

Detector concepts are in general optimized by Monte Carlo simulation. 
However, programs for simulation and reconstruction of detector related 
data from track measurements are nowadays of great complexity. The 
detector toy program is a simple MATLAB tool which allows the fast 
optimization of the position and precision of track sensitive detector 
modules and their material budget. It can be installed on a mobile PC and 
is able to give very quick response, e.g.\ during a discussion meeting. It 
can be used by everybody without any software experience, but can also 
easily be adapted to meet individual needs. The basic version allows to 
generate strip detectors with arbitrary stereo angles, either with 
digitized or Gaussian errors, pixel detectors, and TPC results, including 
inefficiencies. Standard tests like chi-square distributionsand pull 
quantities are included. A graphical user interface is planned for the 
conference release.
