Detailed Description

A process to identify signal and remove baseline noise from a TRestRawSignalEvent.

IMPORTANT TRestRawZeroSuppresionProcess is a legacy class, it is just kept for backward compatibility of the code. Do not attempt to create any instance to a legacy process. The information below is kept to have a reference of previous implementations.

The TRestRawZeroSuppresionProcess identifies the points that are over threshold from the input TRestRawSignalEvent. The resulting points, that are presumed to be a physical signal, will be transported to the output TRestDetectorSignalEvent returned by this process. The data points transferred to the output TRestDetectorSignalEvent will have physical time units related to the sampling rate of the raw signal received as input, and defined as a parameter in this process.

The different parameters required by this process are:

baselineRange : A 2D-vector definning the range, in number of bins, where the baseline properties will be calculated.
integralRange : A 2D-vector definning the time window, in number of bins, where the signal will be considered.
pointThreshold : The number of sigmas over the baseline flunctuations to consider a point is over the threshold.
pointsOverThreshold : The number of consecutive points over threshold required to consider them as a physical signal.
signalThreshold : The number of sigmas a set of consecutive points identified over threshold must be over the baseline fluctuations to be finally considered a physical signal.
pointsFlatThreshold : A parameter to help removing the un-physical or un-expected tail that follows the physical signal. \TODO more details?
sampling : The time duration of a time bin from the input TRestRawSignalEvent. If no units are specified, the default units, microseconds, will be considered.

\TODO Add description of observables here.

An example of definition of this process inside a data processing chain, inside the <TRestProcessRunner> section.

The values given between ${} are enviroment variables that can be defined at the system or at the <globals> section. See also TRestMetadata for additional details.
