Re: [Alibava-general] data from Alibava

[lacasta <car...@if...>]

Hello Richard,

The problem with those files is usually that the header does not have 
information about the type of run... There is a macro called 
fix_header.C that fixes that.

You should use it within root:

.L fix_header.C

and then

fix_header(data_file_name, run_type, header_text)

run_type should be

=1 for a calibration run
   2 for laser sync
   3 for laser
   4 for source
   5 f0r a pedestal run

The header text is:

"nevts; sample_size" for a laser, pedestal or source run
"n_points; from_value; to_value; step" for a calibration run

Hope that helps

Carlos
