Hello,

I explored the type of file. It is a binary file and 4096 x 4096 matrix file. I managed to open it in ubuntu by “hex” program.
But I dont know how I can display in ROOT as a 2D spectrum.

Best wishes,

If you understand the format of the file, you’re going to have to write C++ code that can read and parse it. Once you’ve done that, it’s easy to get it into whatever Root object you like.

Good luck,
