 \section{Pulse Shape Reconstruction}
 
-The clock of the FADC read-out is not synchronized with the trigger. Therefore the relative position of the recorded signal samples with respect to the position of the signal shape varies event by event. The time between the trigger decision and the first read-out sample is equally distributed in the range
-$t_{\text{rel}} \in [0,3.33[$ ns and can be determined directly by a
-time to digital converter (TDC) or using the reconstructed arrival time $t_{\mathrm{arrival}}$.

-The asynchronous sampling of the pulse shape allows to determine an average pulse shape from the recorded signal samples: The recorded signal samples are shifted in time such that the shifted arrival times of all events are equal. In addition the signal samples are normalized event by event using the reconstructed charge of the pulse.

+Figure \ref{fig:pulpo_shape_high} show the average reconstructed signal of a fast pulser in the so called ``pulpo setup''. Clearly visible are the high and the low gain pulses. The low gain pulse is attenuated by a factor of about 10 and delayed by about 50 ns with respect to the high gain pulse.
 
-Figures \ref{fig:pulpo_shape_high} and \ref{fig:pulpo_shape_low} show the average normalized reconstructed pulse shapes for pulse generator pulses (pulpo setup) in the high and in the low gain, respectively. The input FWHM of the pulse generator pulses is about 2 ns. The FWHM of the average reconstructed high gain pulse shape is about 6.3 ns while the FWHM of the average reconstructed low gain pulse shape is about 10 ns. The pulse broadening of the low gain with respect to the high gain is due to the 50 ns on board delay line of the MAGIC receiver boards.
