3. package/tool s developperdescriptionproscons misc (from the PDM point of view) fpipe M. Wille EUSO-Balloon "official" quick-tool (quasi) real-time monitoring, some offline analysis super quick as named beautiful graphical tools and convenience export fits/gif/ascii/root format good for CPU_TRIGGER/ACQUISIT ION data, quick view of PMT-by-PMT scurve data etc. less flexible for real time modification especially for the calibration/pre-flight test in the lab heavily library dependent (easiest solution so far: import VirtualBox image in which the software has been already installed) mainly used for monitoring data during the flight especially useful for PSF measurement at IRAP in May and laser flasher events/pre-flight measurements event_dump standalone package C. Fornaro dumping program for PDM binary data very convenient to check/understand raw data flexible for offline analysis Simple C program: can be compiled in many RH family linux without external libraries ready from the beginning not super quick output file size (binary->ASCII) unless save just ave/sum data originally developed for checking data quickly on CPU -> ready since early tests with CPU mainly used for the pre-flight calibration especially useful for analysis with s-curves & other detailed offline analysis (with ROOT scripts by Hiroko) etot/etosL. Piotrowski TA-EUSO quick- tool/offline analysis fast enough root TTree output following the OFFLINE format less flexible for real time modification especially for the calibration/pre-flight test in the lab convenient for offline analysis (see detailes in Sylvie. D presentation tomorrow)? Open tools 3

7. You can use also allpackets-BALLOON-CPU_TRIGGER-20140825-033740—SMALLCPU.dat.pc for PC averaged in each packets Example (event_dump) Event Map Scurve analysis 7 And many other calibration, further data analysis…..

8. Summary There several tools to read raw data We can use any of those depending on the purpose Currently available with direct contact with each developpers but will be available from common database in near future Feedbacks of each programs to the developpers would be helpful to improve/debug their tools 8
