How to unpack the RAW data

Include files and libraries

Below is the list of related include files:

param.h
unpackData.h

Below is the list of necessary libraries:

libUtil.a
libdata.a
libalarm.a
libXrm.a

Initialization (once per run)

The following code has to be executed once per run:


	#include <param.h>
	#include <unpackData.h>

	int runNo;   // current run number

	param_loadDatabase("master",runNo);

	unpack_loadMaps();

To unpack an event (once per event)

The following code has to be executed to unpack an event:


	#include <unpackData.h>

	itape_header_t *event;     // pointer to the event buffer
	int eventsize;             // size of the event buffer

	unpack_data(event,eventsize);

Note that the event buffer should be large enough to accomodate the largest possible event (currently BOS and EOS events). The suggested buffer size is 200 Kbytes.
