SAOtng supports display of photon event data contained in raw files, similar to its support for FITS Binary Table extensions (e.g., X-ray event lists). ... Because event files do not usually contain enough information to generate an image, we have adopted some conventions for specifying how to interpret the data in these files and for how to bin rows of events into images. To image an event file, it is first of all necessary to define the structure of the events in the event file. ...
