// - The Electronic Rms to 1.5 per FADC slice
// - The uncertainty about the Electronic RMS to 0.3 per slice
// - The F-Factor is assumed to have been measured in Munich to 1.13 - 1.17.
//   with the Munich definition of the F-Factor, thus:
//   F = Sigma(Out)/Mean(Out) * Mean(In)/Sigma(In)
//   Mean F-Factor (gkFFactor)     = 1.15
//   Error F-Factor (gkFFactorErr) = 0.02

//
// The following variables are not yet implemented:
// - fConversionHiLo and fConversionHiLoVar (now set fixed to 10. +- 2.5)
//
//  Error of all variables are calculated by error-propagation. Note that internally,

// 
//  Low-Gain variables are stored internally unconverted, i.e. directly from the summed
