GRAND to Trees (GtoT)

The program to convert GRAND hardware binary blobs in raw format to GRAND ROOT TTrees based format

How to use

Command line options can be seen with:

gtot -h

Standard usage:

gtot <options> <hardware_file_names>.dat/.f0*

To convert GP13 v1 files, use option -g1:

gtot -g1 <hardware_file_names>.dat

By default, gtot will generate the ROOT file with the hardware_file_name extension replaced with ".root", in the place where the hardware file resides.
If you want to change the output file name, use option -o root_file_name, only if single file is analysed

How to build

Requirements

Root version >=6.26.00 is required. Probably it can be built with earlier versions, but the cmake file would have to be adjusted to accommodate different dictionary compilation scheme.

Building

From the main GtoT directory:

mkdir cmake-build-release
cd cmake-build-release
cmake ..
make all

How to rebuild

In cmake-build-release:

make clean
make all

How to rebuild including rebuilding of the makefiles

This may be necessary sometimes, if the project configuration has changed:

cd cmake-build-release
cmake .. --fresh
make clean; make all

If you have cmake older than 3.24, cmake --target clean; cmake .. may be necessary instead of cmake .. --fresh.
