Comment from 22 Dec 2008

The structure of the Index was changed. Now no Tbin is saved anymore,
only RC combination are saved! (reasons see below)

For the readout, all tbins for a RC combination must be read out to find 
the time bin of signal > 0.

THE WRITING PROCEDURE:
AddIndexTBin is now obsolate, use AddIndexRC instead as AddIndexTBin will
be deleted in future.

example that gives exactely the same output as before:
as it was: 
           AliTRDSignalIndexes *indexes;
           AliTRDarrayADC *Signal; //or AliTRDarraySignal *Signal;
	   if(Signal->GetDataB(row, col, time)>0)
               indexes->AddIndexTBin(row, col, time);

as it should be from no on: 
           AliTRDSignalIndexes *indexes;
           AliTRDarrayADC *Signal; //or AliTRDarraySignal *Signal;
	   if(Signal->GetDataB(row, col, time)>0)
               indexes->AddIndexRC(row, col);



THE READING PROCEDURE:
In most cases you can leave anything as it is.
See more in the example.

example:
as it was: 
           AliTRDSignalIndexes *indexes;
           AliTRDarraySignal *Signal;
           while(indexes->NextRCTbinIndex(row, col, time)) 
           {...}

as it should be from no on to get the exactely the same output as before: 
           AliTRDSignalIndexes *indexes;
           AliTRDarraySignal *Signal;
           while(indexes->NextRCTbinIndex(row, col, time)) 
              if(Signal->GetData(row, col, time)>0)
                 {...}

as it should be idealy:
           AliTRDSignalIndexes *indexes;
           AliTRDarraySignal *Signal;
           for(time = 0; time < Ntime; time++)
              while(indexes->NextRCIndex(row, col, time)) 
                 if(Signal->GetData(row, col, time)>0)
                    {...}


REASON OF THE CHANGES:

The array saved the information nicely, but it turned out that sorting 
the array by column would have many benefits.
I.e. it is crucial for fivePadClusters and it if much faster to allocate.
But the sorting is not fast if the tbin is also saved.
Moreover the tbin information was alsmost useless because, 
whenever an RC index existed, many of the possible tbins where used.
