27// MSimReadout
28//
29// Task to convert the analog channels into a digital signal. This should
30// simulate the conversion and saturation bahaviour of the FADC/readout
31// system.
32//
33// You can give a conversion factor from the unitx of your analog signal
34// to the units of your adc. This is a fixed factor because it is just
35// a matter of what the meaning of an adc count is, nothing which could
36// jitter or is a real part of the electronics. Such effects should
37// be simulated somewhere else.
38//
39//
40// Input Containers:
41// MGeomCam
42// MAnalogChannels
43// TriggerPos [MParameterD]
44// IntendedPulsePos [MParameterD]
45// MRawRunHeader
46//
47// Output Containers:
48// MRawEvtData

274 // to +2047 = 0x7FF = 0111.1111.1111

277 // was designed for 16bit numbers. This is no problem for the positive numbers

281 // 12bit: 0x800 = 1000.0000.0000 --> 16bit: 0x0800 = 0000.1000.0000.0000
282 // This *would* normally be understood as +2048, because we need to
283 // 'enlarge' the 'sign bit'
284 // so our largest negative number written into a 16bit storage space
285 // should look like this:
286 // 0xF800 = 1111.1000.0000.0000 --> -2048
287
288 // The enlargement of the sign bit is autotically done on the FACT FAD
289 // board already before the data is send to any PC, because we can do it
290 // damn fast on that board, and a PC would need to touch every incoming
291 // data word again....
292 // But now since we have enlarged the 12th bit ... the sign bit into
293 // the space of bits 13,14,15 and 16 ... where did the overflow-bit go?
294 //
295 // Well .. we still have plenty of bit-combinations, which are normally
296 // forbidden for a 12bit ADC, and these we can use to encode both,
297 // the positive and negative overflow.

299 // positive overflow

301 // negative underflow
302 // 1111.0111.1111.1111 --> interpreted by a PC as -2049 and thus out of 12 bit range!
