     652Figures~\ref{fig:reltimesinnerledblue1} and~\ref{fig:reltimesinnerledblue2} show
     653the distributions of $\delta t_i$ for a typical inner pixel and a saturating calibration
     654pulse of blue light.
     655One can see that the sliding window extractors yield double Gaussian structures, except for the
     656largest window sizes of 8 and 10 FADC slices. Even then, the distributions are not exactly Gaussian.
     657The maximum position extracting spline also yields distributions which are not exactly Gaussian and seem
     658to miss the exact arrival time in quite some events. Only the position of the half-maximum gives the
     659expected result of a single Gaussian distribution.
     660A similiar problem occurs in the case of the digital filter: If one takes the correct weights
     661(fig.~\ref{fig:reltimesinnerledblue2} bottom), the distribution is perfectly Gaussian and the resolution good,
     662however a rather slight change from the blue calibration pulse weights to cosmics pulses weights (top)
     663adds a secondary peak of events with mis-reconstructed arrival times.
