Data file format
SusiQ allows to record data in a binary format while acquiring them
( see [F] ...TAP). Later data replay will be possible using the same software
package (see [F] replay).
The events are stored with a particular format which is described here below.
The actual file structure is established during creation of the data file
previous the beginning of run. The file is written in 'BINARY' format from the
MicroSoft FORTRAN. The block size is 2048*4 bytes per block.
open ( unit=tape_dev, ! device unit
