◆ GetNegativity()

double LASProfileJudge::GetNegativity ( int offset )

private

In case of too high laser intensities, the APV baselines tend to drop down. here, the strip amplitudes in the area around the signal region are summed to return a variable which can indicate this.

◆ IsNegativePeaksInProfile()

bool LASProfileJudge::IsNegativePeaksInProfile ( int offset )

sometimes when the laser intensity is too high the APVs get confused and a negative peak (dip) shows up. this is filtered here.

◆ IsOverdrive()

bool LASProfileJudge::IsOverdrive ( int offset )

check if peak in signal region is too high; this can cause baseline distortions and therefore position bias

◆ IsPeaksInProfile()

bool LASProfileJudge::IsPeaksInProfile ( int offset )

If the laser intensity is too small, there's no peak at all. Here we look if any strip is well above noise level.

◆ IsSignalIn()

bool LASProfileJudge::IsSignalIn	(	const LASModuleProfile &	aProfile,

Check if a LASModuleProfile indicates that the module has been hit, i.e. contains a visible signal or is even distorted by too high laser amplitude. This method doesn't care if the profile is usable for analysis.
