5.4 Skirt Width

The Skirt Width is programmable between 0 and 3 for each channel. The Skirt is the portion of the input data less than threshold that is recorded either side of a cluster that exceeds the threshold. The default skirt width is zero.

Figure 5 shows the effect of Threshold, Skirt and MPW control on the output data. These histograms are reconstructed from the compacted data with zeroes inserted where data had been suppressed.
