graw-merger

This repository contains the source code for the graw2hdf tool, which can be used to merge the GRAW files produced by the GET electronics into an HDF5 file.

Compiling

CMake is required to build the project. In addition to that, the following external libraries must be installed:

• Boost libraries, version 1.55 or later. Download from http://www.boost.org/ and compile at least the System, Program Options, Filesystem, Thread, and Log libraries. If you install them somewhere bizarre, make sure to use the -DBOOST_ROOT option to tell CMake where you put them.

• Armadillo, a linear algebra library.

To build the code, do this in the root of the repository:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBOOST_ROOT=/path/to/boost ..
make
make install  # sudo might be required

Usage

graw2hdf can be used as follows:

graw2hdf [-v] --lookup LOOKUP INPUT [OUTPUT]

The lookup argument takes the path to the pad map lookup table, as csv. The INPUT positional argument should be the path to a directory containing GRAW files for a run. The OUTPUT argument is the path where the output HDF5 file should be created. If no output path is given, a file will be created next to the INPUT directory with the same name as that directory and the extension .h5.
