I've developed a simple unpacker and some command-line tools to dump and error-check
the data from the VME system or the new MicroTCA system (data formats are a bit different).
The original version was developed as a CMSSW job "EricDIM" TWiki page .
To get the tools from our svn and build them:
$ svn co svn://cms1.bu.edu/Eric
$ cd Eric/RawAnalysis
$ make
$ ./dump_DTC.exe
usage: dump_DTC.exe [options] file_name
-e (check for sequential EvN)
-h (check for uHTR EvN)
-v (verbose)
-d
1=DTC header 2=uHTR headers 3=uHTR payload
$
If you run e.g. ./dump_DTC.exe -h dump1.dat it will check the file dump1.dat for EvN, BcN and OrN errors.
The data format is documented here. ("HCAL Upgrade Data Format", latest version).
