Subject: ROOT Macro for newest software 

The older root macro did not work for me for data acquired with the newest software.

so for the newest software and multiple boards, I modified the read_binary.cpp into read_binary.C for those who like to use the root macro, see the attachment.

   Name:           read_binary.C

   Purpose:        Example program under ROOT to read a binary data file written 
                   by the DRSOsc program. Decode time and voltages from waveforms 
                   and display them as a graph. Put values into a ROOT Tree for 
                   further analysis.
 
                   To run it, do:
 
                   - Crate a file test.dat via the "Save" button in DRSOsc
                   - start ROOT (type root)
                   root [0] .L read_binary.C+
                   root [1] decode("test.dat");
