// The following values are initialized to meaningful values:
//
// - 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 calculated inside this class:
// -  fLoGainPedRmsSquare and fLoGainPedRmsSquareVar (see CalcLoGainPedestal())
// -  fRSigmaSquare and fRSigmaSquareVar             (see CalcReducedSigma()  )
// -  fPheFFactorMethod and fPheFFactorMethodVar     (see CalcFFactor()       )
// -  fMeanConvFADC2Phe and fMeanConvFADC2PheVar     (see CalcConvFFactor()  )
//
// The following variables are set by MHCalibrationChargeCam:
// -  fAbsTimeMean and fAbsTimeRms
// -  all variables in MCalibrationPix
//
// The following variables are set by MCalibrationChargeCalc:
// - fPed, fPedVar and fPedRms                         
// - fMeanConvFADC2Phe
// - fConvFADC2PheVar 
// - fSigmaConvFADC2Phe
// - fTotalFFactorFFactorMethod 
// - fTotalFFactorFFactorMethodVar 
//
// 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, 
//  all error variables contain Variances in order to save the CPU-intensive square rooting 
// 
//  Low-Gain variables are stored internally unconverted, i.e. directly from the summed 
//  FADC slices extraction results, but can be retrieved converted to High-Gain amplifications 
//  by calls to: GetConvertedMean() or GetConvertedSigma()
