The current handler accepts the following Ganil format ...
16 byte event header ... {length, evnum, seq, sublength, evnum2, status}
followed by nwords as defined by sublength.
In the old format, all parameters are present in the input. Parameters which did not fire in the event are set to zero.
In the new variable length event format, there is a fixed number of words, followed by sets of (label,value) pairs.
All non-zero data words are output in Eurogam simple word format, with address equal to parameter offset within event.
There is a config file, that allows the setting of the old/new mode and the number of fixed words in the new format.
The runfile details to be provided for the input handler for tape sorts should be of the form ...
TAPE1 RUN3 TAPE1 RUN4 TAPE2 RUN5 etc.The first word on each line (tape name field) is only checked to see if it changes, to force the program to unload the current tape, and allow the user to load the next tape.
