/* Name: read_binary.cpp Created by: Stefan Ritt Date: July 30th, 2014 Purpose: Example file to read binary data saved by DRSOsc. Compile and run it with: gcc -o read_binary read_binary.cpp ./read_binary This program assumes that a pulse from a signal generator is split and fed into channels #1 and #2. It then calculates the time difference between these two pulses to show the performance of the DRS board for time measurements. $Id: read_binary.cpp 22321 2016-08-25 12:26:12Z ritt $ */ #include #include #include #include #include typedef struct { char tag[3]; char version; } FHEADER; typedef struct { char time_header[4]; } THEADER; typedef struct { char bn[2]; unsigned short board_serial_number; } BHEADER; typedef struct { char event_header[4]; unsigned int event_serial_number; unsigned short year; unsigned short month; unsigned short day; unsigned short hour; unsigned short minute; unsigned short second; unsigned short millisecond; unsigned short range; } EHEADER; typedef struct { char tc[2]; unsigned short trigger_cell; } TCHEADER; typedef struct { char c[1]; char cn[3]; } CHEADER; /*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { FHEADER fh; THEADER th; BHEADER bh; EHEADER eh; TCHEADER tch; CHEADER ch; unsigned int scaler; unsigned short voltage[1024]; double waveform[16][4][1024], time[16][4][1024]; float bin_width[16][4][1024]; int i, j, b, chn, n, chn_index, n_boards; double t1, t2, dt; char filename[256]; int ndt; double threshold, sumdt, sumdt2; if (argc > 1) strcpy(filename, argv[1]); else { printf("Usage: read_binary \n"); return 0; } // open the binary waveform file FILE *f = fopen(filename, "rb"); if (f == NULL) { printf("Cannot find file \'%s\'\n", filename); return 0; } // read file header fread(&fh, sizeof(fh), 1, f); if (fh.tag[0] != 'D' || fh.tag[1] != 'R' || fh.tag[2] != 'S') { printf("Found invalid file header in file \'%s\', aborting.\n", filename); return 0; } if (fh.version != '2') { printf("Found invalid file version \'%c\' in file \'%s\', should be \'2\', aborting.\n", fh.version, filename); return 0; } // read time header fread(&th, sizeof(th), 1, f); if (memcmp(th.time_header, "TIME", 4) != 0) { printf("Invalid time header in file \'%s\', aborting.\n", filename); return 0; } for (b = 0 ; ; b++) { // read board header fread(&bh, sizeof(bh), 1, f); if (memcmp(bh.bn, "B#", 2) != 0) { // probably event header found fseek(f, -4, SEEK_CUR); break; } printf("Found data for board #%d\n", bh.board_serial_number); // read time bin widths memset(bin_width[b], sizeof(bin_width[0]), 0); for (chn=0 ; chn<5 ; chn++) { fread(&ch, sizeof(ch), 1, f); if (ch.c[0] != 'C') { // event header found fseek(f, -4, SEEK_CUR); break; } i = ch.cn[2] - '0' - 1; printf("Found timing calibration for channel #%d\n", i+1); fread(&bin_width[b][i][0], sizeof(float), 1024, f); // fix for 2048 bin mode: double channel if (bin_width[b][i][1023] > 10 || bin_width[b][i][1023] < 0.01) { for (j=0 ; j<512 ; j++) bin_width[b][i][j+512] = bin_width[b][i][j]; } } } n_boards = b; // initialize statistics ndt = 0; sumdt = sumdt2 = 0; // loop over all events in the data file for (n=0 ; ; n++) { // read event header i = (int)fread(&eh, sizeof(eh), 1, f); if (i < 1) break; printf("Found event #%d %d %d\n", eh.event_serial_number, eh.second, eh.millisecond); // loop over all boards in data file for (b=0 ; b 1) printf("Found data for board #%d\n", bh.board_serial_number); // reach channel data for (chn=0 ; chn<4 ; chn++) { // read channel header fread(&ch, sizeof(ch), 1, f); if (ch.c[0] != 'C') { // event header found fseek(f, -4, SEEK_CUR); break; } chn_index = ch.cn[2] - '0' - 1; fread(&scaler, sizeof(int), 1, f); fread(voltage, sizeof(short), 1024, f); for (i=0 ; i<1024 ; i++) { // convert data to volts waveform[b][chn_index][i] = (voltage[i] / 65536. + eh.range/1000.0 - 0.5); // calculate time for this cell for (j=0,time[b][chn_index][i]=0 ; j= threshold) { t1 = (threshold-waveform[b][0][i])/(waveform[b][0][i+1]-waveform[b][0][i])*(time[b][0][i+1]-time[b][0][i])+time[b][0][i]; break; } // find peak in channel 2 above threshold for (i=0 ; i<1022 ; i++) if (waveform[b][1][i] < threshold && waveform[b][1][i+1] >= threshold) { t2 = (threshold-waveform[b][1][i])/(waveform[b][1][i+1]-waveform[b][1][i])*(time[b][1][i+1]-time[b][1][i])+time[b][1][i]; break; } // calculate distance of peaks with statistics if (t1 > 0 && t2 > 0) { ndt++; dt = t2 - t1; sumdt += dt; sumdt2 += dt*dt; } } } // print statistics printf("dT = %1.3lfns +- %1.1lfps\n", sumdt/ndt, 1000*sqrt(1.0/(ndt-1)*(sumdt2-1.0/ndt*sumdt*sumdt))); return 1; }
