The constructor code looks something like this:

static char* pPacketVersion="1.0"; // Version of the packet.
/*!
   Constructor:  Initialize the documented packet.
   \param tag (unsigned short [in]):
          The tag that will be assigned to the documented
	  packet. 
*/
MyEventSegment::MyEventSegment(unsigned short tag) :
  m_MyPacket(tag, string("MyPacket"),
	     string("Sample documented packet"),
	     string(pPacketVersion))
{
}

The constructor constructs the documented packet. The constructor for a documented packet has the following parameters:

The Version parameter should be changed if the packet format changes.

For this example, we will hard code the locations of the Phillips digitizers. In order to allow your code to work in conjunction with other event segments, you should probably parameterize your constructor with the location of the hardware.
