Data readout in full frame is plain wrong

[lucabaldini]

We're assuming that the length of the full frame in bytes is NWORDS = 13200 * 8 while it's really twice that value (there are 16 bytes per pixel), or possibly more if we include a header in the event (to be checked).

pDataBlock::pDataBlock(unsigned char *buffer) :
  m_rawBuffer(buffer),
  m_size(2*NWORDS),
  m_errorSummary(0)
{ 
  m_offsetVec.push_back(0);
  m_offsetVec.push_back(NWORDS);
  for (unsigned int evt = 0; evt < 2; evt ++) {
    if (header(evt) != 0xffff) {
      m_errorSummary += 1;
    }
  }
}

Quick fix---we're now assuming one single event per frame, 2*NWORDS long.

This is now working. I am closing the issue noting that we shall revisit this part of the code if and when we address issue #85
