ALTRO -> SAMPA Simulation Switch

2018-08-04: For year 2018, the iTPC SAMPA forth pole parameters set to 0 (are OFF), and other three are copy-paste from ALTRO. In Tonko's opinion this setup performs reasonable. I intend to run some simulations to have this little more quantitative.

Some description of ALTRO:

Available Configurations (0/1 : on/off) with configurable parameters:

  • Baseline Correction (BSL1)
    • Baseline Correction Mode
    • Baseline
    • Pedestal Memory Data
    • Polarity
  • Tail Cancellation Filter (TCF)
    • K coefficients (K1, K2, K3)
    • L coefficients (L1, L2, L3)
  • Moving Average Filter (BSL2)
    • High Threshold
    • Low Threshold
    • Signal offset
    • Number of pre samples excluded from the moving average calculation
    • Number of post samples excluded from the moving average calculation
  • Clipping Module
  • Zero Suppression (ZSU)
    • Theshold
    • Minimum number of samples greater than threshold
    • Number of pre samples which are kept
    • Number of post samples which are kept
