5.2.1.4 N957Demo: output data format
This is a text format output file; on each row it provides data readout from the board in
hexadecimal format. The file is generated only if the parameter configuration file
LOG_TO_FILE is set to 1: the output filename is specified by the configuration file
parameter LOG_FILENAME.
Example:
.....
07c8
07c9
07ca

5.2.1.5 N957Demo: practical example
In the Demo folder, the N957Demo.exe file is a simple practical example of controlling
the N957 board. Here follows a step-by-step procedure (Windows) to use it for acquiring,
plotting and saving data from an hardware set-up consisting in:
Nal detector
+
PMT
+
N914
+
N968
+
N957
where:
N914 is CAEN Analog Pulse Processor.
N968 is CAEN Spectroscopy Amplifier.
1. Customize the N957Demo.conf file: e.g. enable data saving (LOG_TO_FILE 1);
set the output filename (LOG_FILENAME "output.log").
2. Save the configuration file settings.
