/**
 * @class AliHLTBenchExternalTrackComponent
 * A component publishing arrays of randomly filled AliExternalTrackParam
 * structures in different forms. Currently supported is TClonesArray,
 * TObjArray, and C Array.
 * 
 * The component can both publish and receive data blocks. If data blocks
 * are available on the input, the array is restored and forwarded in the
 * specified publishing mode with specified compression level.
 *
 * <h2>General properties:</h2>
 *
 * Component ID: \b BenchmarkAliExternalTrackParam <br>
 * Library: \b libAliHLTBenchmark.so     <br>
 * Input Data Types: ::kAliHLTDataTypeTrack, ::kAliHLTDataTypeTObjArray <br>
 * Output Data Types: ::kAliHLTDataTypeTrack, ::kAliHLTDataTypeTObjArray <br>
 *
 * <h2>Mandatory arguments:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 * By default, publishing of the array is switched off. It has to be enabled
 * by one of the three options
 * \li -tobjarray <br>
 *      publish TObjArray
 * \li -tclonesarray <br>
 *      publish TClonesArray
 * \li -carray <br>
 *      publish as C-array
 *
 * <h2>Optional arguments:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 * \li -maxsize      <i> max array size  </i> <br>
 * \li -minsize      <i> min array size  </i> <br>
 *
 * \li -rangemodulo  <i> count  </i> <br>
 *      number of events after which the range is changed
 * \li -rangeoffset  <i> offset  </i> <br>
 *      offset is added to min and max range after the specified number of
 *      events. Idially, this offset is negative, causing decreasing range
 *      over run time.
 * \li -rangefactor  <i> factor  </i> <br>
 *      min and max range are multiplied by the factor (float) after the
 *      specified number of events.
 *
 * \li -verbosity      <i> level  </i> <br>
 *      different levels of verbosity: 0 (default) is silent
 *
 * <h2>Configuration:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 *
 * <h2>Default CDB entries:</h2>
 * The component has no default CDB entries.
 *
 * <h2>Performance:</h2>
 * 
 *
 * <h2>Memory consumption:</h2>
 * 
 *
 * <h2>Output size:</h2>
 * 
 *
 * By using the range alterator options, the range can be changed after a
 * certain number of events.
