//   Class: CSCAnodeLCTProcessor
//
//   Description:
//     This is the simulation for the Anode LCT Processor for the Level-1
//     Trigger.  This processor consists of several stages:
//
//       1. Pulse extension of signals coming from wires.
//       2. Pretrigger for each key-wire.
//       3. Pattern detector if a pretrigger is found for the given key-wire.
//       4. Ghost Cancellation Logic (GCL).
//       5. Best track search and promotion.
//       6. Second best track search and promotion.
//
//     The inputs to the ALCT Processor are wire digis.
//     The output is up to two ALCT digi words.
//
