20 // Generic handling of (extrapolated) detector signals.
22 // The user can decide to store either calibrated or uncalibrated signals.
23 // Via the specification of a gain and offset or/and an explicit
24 // (de)calibration function both calibrated and uncalibrated signals
25 // can always be obtained. For details see the documentation of the
26 // memberfunction GetSignal() and the class AliAttrib.
27 // The explicit specification of a (de)calibration function offers the
28 // maximum flexibility and also allows automatic indication whether
29 // calibrated or uncalibrated data has been stored.
30 // The latter can be achieved by only specifying a calibration function
31 // (and no de-calibration function) in case uncalibrated data is stored,
32 // whereas in case of stored calibrated data the user should only
33 // provide a de-calibration function (and no calibration function).
37 // Signal positions (r) and reference frames (f) are specified via
38 // SetPosition(r,f) under the following conventions :
40 // f="car" ==> r is Cartesian (x,y,z)
41 // f="sph" ==> r is Spherical (r,theta,phi)
