EventTime Class

For convenience the Event class provides a method event_time which returns an EventTime class. The main purpose of the EventTime class is to provide a more user-friendly time than tenths of nanoseconds since the beginning of the year. The constructor takes a year and a DAQTime (i.e. tenths of nanoseconds since the beginning of the year) and constructs a python datetime object and stores the remainder in the data member utcTenthNanoSecond. Below is a simple illustration of how the EventTime class works.
