Zero Suppression Parameters

Requirement:

The calibration system software includes code to estimate the optimal threshold values to be used in the zero suppression on board the ASICs.

Justification:

The optimal thresholds are a function of the signal to noise ratio and should be revised periodically.

Status:

This requirement requires further study by monte carlo simulations. It is unlikely that one would let the calibration software set the threshold automatically. However, software could be used to ``suggest'' the optimal values to be set by the SVT operator.
