Detailed Description

Generation of random noise on "numberOfChannels" channels with a given threshold. The generated noise :

• corresponds to a Gaussian distribution of RMS = "noiseRMS"
  
• is larger than threshold*noiseRMS.
  

Initial author : Veronique Lefebure 08.10.98
according to the FORTRAN code tgreset.F from Pascal Vanlaer
Modified by C. Delaere 01.10.09
