Photon-Stream for C++

Read about the photon-stream and its file-formats in the base photon-stream repository.

All you need

to read and write binary photon-stream files:

photon_stream.h

Only C++ std library.

Examples

Examples which include photon_stream.h. Take a look into the example directory.

ASCII event viewer

Draws FACT events onto your command line.

Build:

g++ examples/docopt/docopt.cpp examples/viewer.cpp -o phs.viewer -std=gnu++11

1st) Use zcat to ungzip the input file.

zcat tests/20170119_229_pass4_100events.phs.gz > tests/20170119_229_pass4_100events.phs

2nd) Call the phs.viewer and read the help print.

./phs.viewer -i tests/20170119_229_pass4_100events.phs

Table print

Prints a table summary of the events in the input.

Build:

g++ examples/docopt/docopt.cpp examples/table.cpp -o phs.table -std=gnu++11

Call via PIPE and zcat to unzip the file.

zcat tests/20170119_229_pass4_100events.phs.gz | ./phs.table

will print:

night    run event trigger  Az[deg] ZD[deg]  UnixTime[s]   photons
