Gates

Sets of gates may be defined here for later use in the commands section through which to filter the event-by-event data. If a data word being tested matches a particular gate condition it is said to pass that particular gate.

Bitmask, 1D and 2D gates are stored as 8-bit lookup maps. Elliptical gates are stored as lists of coordinates and axes. When a sortword value is tested against a gate in the commands section it will pass either zero or one of the gates in the map. The gate number passed will be stored in the reserved variable GATE .
