/// \class AliMUONDigitizerV3
/// The digitizer is performing the transformation to go from SDigits (digits
/// w/o any electronic noise) to Digits (w/ electronic noise, and decalibration)
/// 
/// The decalibration is performed by doing the reverse operation of the
/// calibration, that is we do (Signal+pedestal)/gain -> ADC
///
/// Note also that the digitizer takes care of merging sdigits that belongs
/// to the same pad, either because we're merging several input sdigit files
/// or with a single file because the sdigitizer does not merge sdigits itself
/// (for performance reason mainly, and because anyway we know we have to do it
/// here, at the digitization level).
