+//   Low level decoding of the trigger pattern.
+//   The trigger pattern consists of 16 bits (8+8 bits) generated by the 
+//   trigger system.
+//   The first 8 bits correspond to the trigger configuration before the
+//   prescaling, the others after prescaling.
+//   The meaning of the configuration depends on the chosen trigger table
+//   (that is how the trigger has been programmed) and must be interpreted 
+//    at higher level by the analysis. 
+//   Bit structure:
+//          not prscd | prscaled
