Module rb_event

Source
Expand description

Readoutboard binary event formats, former denoted as BLOB (binary large object)

The structure is the following

  • RBEventHeader - timestamp, status, len of event, but no channel data. This represents compression level 2

  • RBEvent - still “raw” event, however, with modified fields (removed superflous ones, changed meaning of some others) Each RBEvent has a header and a body which is the channel data. Data in this form represents compression level 1

  • RBWaveform - a single waveform from a single RB. This can be used to deconstruct TofEvents so that the flight computer does not struggle with the large packet size.

  • features: “random” - provides “::from_random” for all structs allowing to populate them with random data for tests.

Structs§

  • RBEvent
    Event data for each individual ReadoutBoard (RB)
  • RBEventHeader
    The RBEvent header gets generated once per event per RB. Contains information about event id, timestamps, etc.
  • RBPaddleID
    Squeze the rb channel - paddle mapping into 5 bytes for a single RB
  • RBWaveform
