 the next hex words
 "01cc 0011 "  represent the next 32 bit long word where "0xcc" is the least significant bit 0 to bit 7 (first 8 bits = 1101100 b).  The hex constant "0xcc" is used as the "number" in the header word.   The next hex snipet "0x01"  is used for the data type in the header.  The tag is aliased as the event type "0x0011 = 17 d = 10001 b is the highest 16 bits of the 32 bit long word which tells you that this event is #17 which corresponds to a prestart event.
