The following function will copy the configuration information from the data file into
the ‘hydra’ structure, keeping track of the number of configured channels and filling the
channel index table as it goes. It assumes that the first 730 bytes of the file have already
been read into memory using the read () library function, or similar.
/*
-* convert_config(): Convert the file configuration data into C variables.
**
** Inputs:
** file_data Pointer to the first 730 bytes of data
** from a Hydra Data Bucket file.
** Outputs:
** hydra Global variable set to the configuration
** found in the file data.
** max_index number of channels in scan record and
** index_to_chan the table of non-off channels
**
** Returns:
** number of bytes per scan record.
