 * @class AliHLTTPCPad
 * The class is a container for the raw ADC data of one TPCS pad. In order to
 * avoid multiple unpacking/handling of the incoming raw data, the class holds
 * a copy of the incoming data for one event. The copy is released when the
 * end of the event was announced.
 * The class calculates the base line of a TPC channel. Currently, only the
 * average value is calculated, but further extension will include channel by
 * channel histograming. The baseline history is kept and used for baseline
 * re-evaluation and correction of subsequent events.
