MiniballSort

Sort code for Miniball data using the new FEBEX/MIDAS DAQ from the 2022 campaign onwards.

This sort code has been updated to take data from the MBS/FEBEX DAQ (.lmd files - 2022) and the MBS/DGF DAQ (.med files - 2001-2018). Not all features of the old DAQ have yet been implemented, but if you have an old data set that you would like to sort, make a request with the "issues" feature and we will try to implement your requirement.

There is a Wiki page for this code, giving some more detailed instructions of how to analyse data.

Please cite the code using the DOI if you use it for your publications: doi:10.5281/zenodo.7867979.
