Spectral intensity distributions in the form of matrices were the main form of DAQ output before the DeLiDAQ-2 controllers and N6730 digitizer were used at the IBR-2 reactor measurement facilities. In particular, they were used in the Sonix+ software package for online visualization. Because the output data in the controllers are available only in the form of a list of events, the spectral distributions (histograms) must be constructed numerically. This study adapts the software for using the controllers and their data histogramming algorithms, and discusses tests conducted at the GRAINS reflectometer (tenth beam of IBR-2) in October 2021.
