Hello

In Tonatiuh, you have two options of data output format: "Binary_file" and "SQL_Database". I always use Binary_file. 

To see the results (coordinates of the photons ... ) it is necessary a post-processing code to convert the binary file to a file format that you understand. 

For example, in matlab you can do:

%-----------------------------------------------

      fid = fopen('data.dat');

      results =  fread( fd, inf, 'double', 'b');

%-----------------------------------------------

where data.dat is the name of the file (Tonatiuh output).

It is also necessary a statistical analysis of the data. For that, you need to know which is the information provided by Tonatiuh and how it is organized.
