+In a second step, it searches for the position of the spline maximum. From then on, two 
+possibilities are offered:
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item[Extraction Type Amplitude:\xspace] The amplitude of the spline maximum is taken as charge signal
+and the (precisee) position of the maximum is returned as arrival time. This type is faster, since it 
+performs not spline intergraion . 
+\item[Extraction Type Integral:\xspace] The integrated spline between maximum position minus 
+rise time (default: 1.5 slices) and maximum position plus fall time (default: 4.5 slices) 
+is taken as charge signal and the position of the half maximum left from the position of the maximum 
+is returned as arrival time (default). 
+The low-gain signal stretches the rise and fall time by a stretch factor (default: 1.5). This type 
+is slower, but yields more precise results (see section~\ref{sec:performance}) . 
+The charge integration resolution is set to 0.1 FADC slices.
