Data Format

Primex will use the CODA format for recorded data. The CODA physics events will contain the words as read from the fastbus modules. All decoding will take place offline. The primex analysis software has already implemented a library of IO functions to read, write and parse the CODA formatted files. Additionally, a CODA bank definition has been created to record and read/write primex ``banks'' (see sections 1.4-1.4.2).
