\section{Criteria for the Optimal Signal Extraction}

\subsection{Resolution (amplitude and time)}
\ldots {\it In this section, the jitter to exactly identical input pulses is measured, for times, amplitudes, 
high-gain and low-gain pulses
\begin{itemize}
\item Jitter to pulpo pulses  \ldots Hendrik
\item Jitter to pedestals (of different intensity) \ldots Hendrik
\item Comparing MC signal with and w/o noise of different intensity \ldots Nuria
\item Comparing the low-gain to high-gain ratio for different intensities \ldots Markus
\item Derive the time jitter to calibration pulses \ldots Maxim ???
\end{itemize}
}

\subsection{Bias}
\ldots {\it In this section, the bias of the extractor for low and high intensities is defined and measured
\begin{itemize}
\item Bias to pedestals (of different intensity) \ldots Hendrik
\item Comparing MC signal with and w/o noise of different intensity \ldots Nuria
\end{itemize}
}

\subsection{Signal to Noise}
\ldots {\it In this section, the signal to noise of an extractor is determined, for times and amplitudes
\newline \ldots Maxim ???, Thomas ???
}

\subsection{Stability}
\ldots {\it In this section, the stability of an extractor to slightly varying pulse shapes is examined.
\begin{itemize}
\item Stability w.r.t. different weights files \ldots Hendrik
\item Outliers in time and amplitude extractions \ldots ???
\item Stability of conversion factors from the calibration \ldots Markus
\item Stability w.r.t. the calibration secondary pulses \ldots Hendrik ???
\end{itemize}
}

\subsection{Linearity}
\ldots {\it In this section, the Nuria plots are examined \newline \ldots Nuria

\subsection{Treatment of calibration pulses}
\ldots {\it In this section, the question of the different pulse shapes between calibration pulses, its 
secondary pulses, possible secondary pulses from hadronic showers and the typical Cherenkov 
pulses are extracted by the different extractors and typical dependencies examined, like the 
Razmik plot, the number of photo-electrons with number of slices, comparisons between different colours, etc.
\newline \ldots Hendrik??? , Markus???  + ????}

\subsection{Low gain extraction}
\ldots {\it In this section, the stability of the low-gain extraction w.r.t. the high-gain extraction is 
examined. Useful plots are still to be defined.
\newline \ldots Arnau ????}

\subsection{Applicability for different sampling speeds / no pulse shaping.}
\ldots {\it In this section, some comments of Hendrik will be made}

\subsection{CPU requirements}
\ldots {\it In this section, the needed CPU time is measured for each extractor independently
\newline \ldots ALL (after all)}
