Abstract

This paper presents a practical approach to digital pulse processing, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency. We advocate for a balanced software design, flat data structures, the use of the ROOT C++ interpreter, and a combination of command-line and graphical interfaces. By adopting these strategies, researchers can effectively apply digital pulse processing techniques to their specific domains without excessive theoretical concerns.
