// Class AliSignal
// Generic handling of (extrapolated) detector signals.
//
// Note :
// ------
// Signal positions (r) and reference frames (f) are specified via
// SetPosition(r,f) under the following conventions :
//
// f="car" ==> r is Cartesian   (x,y,z)
// f="sph" ==> r is Spherical   (r,theta,phi)
// f="cyl" ==> r is Cylindrical (rho,phi,z)
//
// The same holds for SetPositionErrors().
//
// All angles are in radians.
//
// Example :
// ---------
//
// AliSignal s;
// s.SetName("Start counter");
// Float_t pos[3]={-1,25,7};
// Float_t err[3]={0.03,0.7,0.18};
// Float_t signal=120.8;
// Float_t error=1.73;
// Float_t offset=-12.78;
// Float_t gain=250;
// s.SetPosition(pos,"car");
// s.SetPositionErrors(err,"car");
// s.SetSignal(signal);
// s.SetSignalError(error);
// s.SetOffset(offset);
// s.SetGain(gain);
// Float_t loc[3],dr[3],sigma;
// s.GetPosition(loc,"sph");
// s.GetPositionErrors(dr,"sph");
// Float_t adc=s.GetSignal();
// Float_t sigma=s.GetSignalError();
//
// AliSignal q;    // In the example below a signal contains the
//                 // following data : timing, ADC and dE/dx
// q.SetNameTitle("Hybrid","Test for multiple signal data");
// q.SetPosition(pos,"car");
// q.SetPositionErrors(err,"car");
// signal=82.5; // e.g. signal time in ns
// error=2.01;
// offset=0.003;
// q.SetSlotName("TOF");
// q.SetSignal(signal,1);
// q.SetSignalError(error,1);
// q.SetOffset(offset,1);
// signal=268.1; // e.g. ADC value of signal
// error=3.75;
// gain=120.78;
// // Addressing via name specification instead of index 
// q.SetSlotName("ADC");
// q.SetSignal(signal,"ADC");
// q.SetSignalError(error,"ADC");
// q.SetGain(gain,"ADC");
// signal=23.7; // e.g. corresponding dE/dx value
// error=0.48;
// offset=0.2;
// gain=150;
// q.SetSlotName("dE/dx");
// q.SetSignal(signal,3);
// q.SetSignalError(error,3);
// q.SetOffset(offset,3);
// q.SetGain(gain,3);
//
// Float_t dedx=q.GetSignal("dE/dx");
