Member Function Documentation

bool LASPeakFinder::FindPeakIn	(	const LASModuleProfile &	aProfile,
		std::pair< double, double > &	result,
		TH1D *	histogram,
		const double	offset
	)

set a profile to work on and start peak finding; the pair<> will return mean/meanError (in strips); offset is necessary for tob modules which are hit off-center
