How data is coded in text data file

[athornett]

Hi Spencer,
Ted Cline and I are trying to produce some routines in Easy Radio Astronomy to plot CosmicWatch Muon Detector data.
Can I ask you how coincidence detections are recorded in the data files and distinguished from non-coincidence measurements? Or is it just that once two detectors are in coincidence mode then all data from that moment on is conincidence data?

Hi Andy, For this particular version of the detector, the detector that was placed in coincidence mode will only save coincident events. So all triggers on the coincident detector are coincident. In the next version of the detector, all events will be saved with a flag indicating which ones were coincident. Best, Spencer ─ Dr. Spencer N.

Thanks! Does that mean that V3 is not yet available? If so how did you create the plots that show coincidence vs non coincidence detections? Andy Sent from Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>
