// This is the class which is to be used during the writing of
// simulated raw data (DDL files format).
// It is using the root functionality in order to deal correctly
// with little/big endian issue. By convention the detector raw
// data payload is stored always with little endian (this corresponds
// to the real life situation when the detector data is coming from
// the hardware). The implementation of this class is based on Root
// tobuf() method defined in Bytes.h
