This is a C++ library for parsing binary files generated by the WaveDump software for CAEN digitizers.
This software is intended to provide a simple C++ interface to work with WaveDump's binary data files. It allows user to extract, store and analyse primary information about each event recorded in the binary file:
- Header of a binary file (see WaveDump documentation) (log in required)
- Data points
- Time step between two consecutive data points (sample time)
- ... (for the full list of abilities see the documentation)
Moreover, this software can be easily ''extended''
by user in the following sense. Each event consisting of data points (or a waveform) and
some additional info is represented by and accessible through the Event class (described in the documentation).
This allows user to write his/her own functions to perform any kind of analysis on an event
using only Event object which stores a given event.
This library is not an official CAEN software. Don't use it with ASCII data files produced by the WaveDump software.

As a test you can see the plot of a single signal from the PMT with NaI:Tl crystal on the input
window with Cs137 gamma-source (left image, the code is available
here: example/ROOT/draw/) and integral spectrum of those signals (right image, the code for TTree
creation is available here: example/ROOT/create_tree/):
