2 Routines for the CST

  The following section describes some C-Routines developped for processing CST data. The general strategy for the CST is:

• find the hits for every event
• update the constants as often as possible (deadtime!)

The latter part therefore depends on a flag in SiPPCUser that marks events for which an updating shall take place. As described in Sec. 1.7 all routines are called for each FADC and take as input the structure CSTFADCRec.
