Hello Philip,
The estimation of scatter and random corrections is not implemented in
the conversion code, only their respective number is computed from the
root meta-data. Currently there is only the possibility to ignore these
events in the resulting datafile using the /-t/ option).
This implementation would not require much work though (recover the
number of scatter/randoms events for each couple of crystal IDs before
the conversion, and compute the correct correction factor for each event
during the conversion).
Kind regards,
Thibaut
