//   Class: CSCCathodeLCTProcessor
//
//   Description:
//     This class simulates the functionality of the cathode LCT card.  It is
//     run by the MotherBoard and returns up to two CathodeLCTs. It can be
//     run either in a test mode, where it is passed arrays of halfstrip
//     and distrip times, or in normal mode where it determines
//     the time and comparator information from the comparator digis.
//
//     Additional comments by Jason Mumford 01/31/01 (mumford@physics.ucla.edu)
//     Removed the card boundaries.  Changed the Pretrigger to emulate
//     the hardware electronic logic.  Also changed the keylayer to be the 4th
//     layer in a chamber instead of the 3rd layer from the interaction region.
//     The code is a more realistic simulation of hardware LCT logic now.
//
