int firstChannel = (Byte) cdataitems.get( jdata++ ); i++;

Should this variable actually be called "firstSample" rather than "firstchannel"? If so them I think the zero suppression information is all here.

I think @ftouchte already addressed this in #520.

Yes, I did.

The first channel refers to the time of the first sample (expressed in term of bin number) according this reference.

Here's a small study that shows the consistency of this parameter.

ZS=1 && Zstyp=1 run 21183 Here, wftime varies between 0 to 49

ZS=1 && Zstyp=0 run 21175 Here wftime is always 0

ZS=0 run 21123 Here wftime is always 0

OK. I was pointing out the variable name is confusing and probably misleading at best. Closing...
