// File: SiStripDigitizerAlgorithm.cc
// Description:  Steering class for digitization.
// Modified 15/May/2013 mark.grimes@bristol.ac.uk - Modified so that the digi-sim link has the correct
// index for the sim hits stored. It was previously always set to zero (I won't mention that it was
// me who originally wrote that).
// Modified on Feb 11, 2015: prolay.kumar.mal@cern.ch & Jean-Laurent.Agram@cern.ch
//                           Added/Modified the individual strip noise in zero suppression
//                           mode from the conditions DB; previously, the digitizer used to
//                           consider the noise value for individual strips inside a module from
//                           the central strip noise value.
