//
// MUON Raw Data generaton in ALICE-MUON
// This class version 3 (further details could be found in Alice-note)
//
// Implemented non-constant buspatch numbers for tracking
// with correct DDL id (first guess)
// (Ch. Finck, dec 2005)
//
// Digits2Raw:
// Generates raw data for MUON tracker and finally for trigger
// Using real mapping (inverse) for tracker
// For trigger there is no mapping (mapping could be found in AliMUONTriggerCircuit)
// Ch. Finck, July 04
// Use memcpy instead of assignment elt by elt
// Introducing variable DSP numbers, real manu numbers per buspatch for st12
// Implemented scaler event for Trigger
// Ch. Finck, Jan. 06
// Using bus itr in DDL instead of simple incrementation
// treat correctly the DDL & buspatch for station 3.
// Using informations from AliMUONTriggerCrateStore for 
// empty slots and non-notified cards in trigger crates.
// Ch. Finck, August 06.
