Dear all,

Kevin Strychar asked about data formats obtained with an EPICSII.

I have used an earlier model, the original EPICS, and can assure Kevin that the data is in FCS 1.0 format as interpreted by Coulter.  The factor which is most important is the version of the MDADS software used on the EPICS.

Another key element will be the number of channels per ADC, if one (or more) channels are 1024 range then 3rd party software will have difficulty interpretting the data.

It will probably be easier to  construct 256x256 channel histograms on the MDADS and transfer these to 3rd party programmes.  I seem to remember that histograms were easier for 3rd party software to recognise.
