Software update (from David)

• Working decode software (hcana and replay dir) for EEL108 data is now available:
  • https://github.com/dhamilton-glasgow/hcana/tree/nps_develop
  • https://github.com/dhamilton-glasgow/hallc_replay/tree/nps_develop

• Based on the hcana classes and replay files developed by Steve Wood and Carlos Yero. Still some issues to be tidied up, but it already decodes the vme2 data that was taken by Bryan and writes the 26-sample waveforem to a root tree. Need to install on cdaql3.

• Example event display available in replay repo above (also here [1]).
