Run It! (D2O Results)
Convert an ASCII file into a ROOT file

 QSigEx has the ability to convert an ASCII file into a root file.
 It is a nice feature as the user might want to convert the data
 into a ROOT file and then feed the ROOT file into QSigEx.

The following instructions assume QSIGEX is installed on your system.

Convert the pure D2O Data Sample in a ROOT File

 Here is an example on how to convert the pure D2O data sample from an ASCII
 to a ROOT file.

1) Go into the directory QSIGEXDIR/runme/data2root
 
    > cd $QSIGEXDIR/runme/data2root

2) Compile the executable (data2root)
 
    > make

3) Run It!
 
    > data2root d2o_data.dat d2o_data.root


 The ASCII file d2o_data.dat can be found in $QSIGEXDIR/runme/data2root.
 The user MUST provide the dat file and the program data2root will produce
 the ROOT file.

 The file d2o_data.root is used in another example where QSigEx is used to fit
 the pure D2O data (click here for more info).
