The Two-ROD-Test

This is a test of the off-chamber electronics at CERN. The test consists of two RODs with CTMs, a TIM and a CRB backplane in one VME crate, reading out four chambers. The setup is shown in these Pictures.

The latest change of the data format means that the number of samples is now stored in the event headers event type field. All data and reading code has been updated to the latest version of the format.
