EVENT DATASETS

Many of the ancillary structures in event datasets (e.g. the MORE box and its contents) are the same as for binned datasets, and are described above. However the event data itself is stored in a set of parallel LIST structures: one for each event property represented.

Structure of an event dataset:

        DATASET              <EVENT_DATA>
           TITLE
           Set of lists, e.g.
           X_CORR               <LIST>
           Y_CORR               <LIST>
           ENERGY               <LIST>
           TIMETAG              <LIST>
           QUALITY              <LIST>
           MORE                 <EXTENSION>
              ASTERIX              <EXTENSION>
                 HEADER               <EXTENSION>
                 INSTRUMENT           <EXTENSION>
                 LIVE_TIME            <EXTENSION>
                 SPATIAL              <EXTENSION>
           HISTORY              <HISTORY>
