hi guys - i'm not sure we need to be bugging tonko about this...
some quick comments below...

that's clearly out of date... now we have 132 ADC vales and 120 TDC
values, plus the same number of A/D channels and scalers as before...
the run-3 local daq manual is here:
http://mac8.rice.edu/~TOF/TOFp/operations/manuals/local_daq_run3.html
one of the links there is to the TOF raw data format.... go here:
http://duvel.rice.edu/~geurts/star/tof_raw_data_format2.0.html
does that help?
clearly my remapping (to skip the dual-range 'second' ADC for the
pVPD in the hit counters and collapse the adc and tdc indices to
a single coherant index) won;t work if the datap structure doesn't
contain all the data... sounds like progress... thanks...
