//   AliTrigEvent - Base class for generic information exchanged by a trigger
//                  device. Trigger inputs and outputs are represented and
//                  handled via AliTrigEvent objects. Trigger events are typically
//                  wrappers for the information exchanged on a single I/O slot
//                  or a group of correlated inputs.
