    33In this section, we describe the tests performed using light pulses of different colour,
     
    8181
    8282We used data taken on the 7$^{th}$ of June, 2004 with different pulser LED combinations, each taken with
    83 16384 events. The corresponding MAGIC data run numbers range from nr. 31741 to 31772. These data was taken
     8316384 events. 19 different calibration configurations have been tested.
     84The corresponding MAGIC data run numbers range from nr. 31741 to 31772. These data was taken
    8485before the latest camera repair access which resulted in a replacement of about 2\% of the pixels known to be
    8586mal-functionning at that time.
     
    128129Moreover, the number of events are counted which have been reconstructed outside a 5 sigma region
    129130from the mean signal. These events are called ``outliers''. Figure~\ref{fig:outlier} shows a typical
    130 outlier obtained with the digital filter applied to a low-gain signal.
     131outlier obtained with the digital filter applied to a low-gain signal and figure~\ref{fig:unsuited:all}
     132shows the average number of all excluded pixels and outliers obtained from all 19 calibration configurations.
     133One can already see that the largest window sizes yield a high number of un-calibrated pixels, mostly
     134due to the missing ability to recognize the low-intensity pulses (see later). One can also see that
     135the amplitude extracting spline yields a higher number of outliers than the rest of the extractors.
     136The global champion in lowest number of un-calibrated pixels results to be
     137{\textit{\bf MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter}} with the correct calibration weights over 4 FADC slices
     138(extractor \#31). The one with the lowest number of outliers is
     139{\textit{\bf MExtractFixedWindowPeakSearch}} with an extraction range of 2 slices (extractor \#11).

    142159The following figures~\ref{fig:unsuited:5ledsuv},~\ref{fig:unsuited:1leduv},~\ref{fig:unsuited:2ledsgreen}
    143160and~\ref{fig:unsuited:23ledsblue} show the resulting numbers of un-calibrated pixels and events for
     
    183200of the inner pixels (fig.~\ref{fig:unsuited:1leduv}). This is an expected behavior since big windows
    184201add up more noise which in turn makes the search for the small signal more difficult.

    188203In general, one can also find that all ``sliding window''-algorithms (extractors \#17-32) discard
