/**
 * @class AliHLTAltroChannelSelectorComponent
 * A selector component for ALTRO Raw data. The component subscribes
 * to the RAW data {***:DDL_RAW }, and produces the same raw data block
 * with only the selected ALTRO channels.                               <br>
 * Three different modes are supported:
 * - -signal-threshold                                                  <br>
 *   the average of all signals in the channel is calculated and it is
 *   selected when the maximum signal exceeds average+threshold
 * - -rms-threshold                                                     <br>
 *   the implemented logic needs to be checked, never been used
 * - list of channels to select. 
 *   The list must be of identical specification as the RAW data and of
 *   data type {***:HWADDR16}: 16 bit hardware addresses
 *
 *
 * The AliAltroRawStreamV3 is used as input decoder to read and scan the
 * Altro Raw data.

 * Input Data Types: kAliHLTDataTypeDDLRaw, kAliHLTDataTypeHwAddr16	<br>
 * Output Data Types: kAliHLTDataTypeDDLRaw                             <br>

 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 *
 * Optional arguments: <br>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 * \li -keep-corrupted
 *     keep corrupted channels, by default ignored
 * \li -talkative
 *     be a bit more verbose, prints out statistics message and warnings
 * \li -start-timebin <i> bin </i>
 *     all time bins below will be ignored    
 * \li -end-timebin <i> bin </i>
 *     all time bins above will be ignored    
 * \li -signal-threshold <i> adc_counts </i>
 *     the average will be calculated from all bins between start and end,
 *     a channel is considered active if the maximum is bigger than averge
 *     plus threshold
 * \li -rms-threshold <i> sigma </i>
