libpixie is a C++ library for reading the XIA Pixie16 data format (see https://xia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Pixie16_UserManual.pdf) into C++ classes. libpixie also handles "event building" - that is, grouping several sub-events (referred to as "measurements" here) together using some coincidence window.
Installation is simple, you'll just need to get the source code and compile to get going. First clone the repository using
git clone https://github.com/belmakier/libpixie.git
Then change directory and make some build directories:
cd libpixie;
mkdir lib;
mkdir obj;
Change directory again and compile
cd src
make
The install directories are specified in the Makefile, by default they
are $HOME/.local/include for headers and $HOME/.local/lib
for dynamic libraries. If these don't exist you'll need to create
them. After that, you can install with
make install
Make sure the $HOME/.local/lib directory is in your
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and you're good to go!
