class AliFMDParameters: public TNamed

 Get static instance

 Default constructor

 Initialize the manager.  This tries to read the parameters from
 CDB.  If that fails, the class uses the hard-coded parameters.

 Parameters:
    forceReInit Force (re-)initalize flag
    what        What to initialize

 Initialize the manager.  This tries to read the parameters from
 CDB.  If that fails, the class uses the hard-coded parameters.

 Parameters:
    pp          Preprocessor
    forceReInit Force (re-)initalize flag
    what        What to initialize

 Check if the file <i>prefix</i><i>number</i> exists in @a path,
 and write the full path to @a f.

 Parameters:
    prefix  File prefix (cond, peds, gains, ...)
    path    Path to files
    number  Detector number (1, 2, or 3)
    f       On return full path to file (if found)

 Return:
    @c true if file exists and is readable, @c false otherwise

 Initialize the manager.  This will try to read some calibrations
 (sample rate, strip range, gains, pedestals) from local comma
 separated value (CSV) files in the directory pointed at by @a
 path.  If they are not found, then they will be retrieved from
 OCDB as appropriately.   Other calibrations are always read from
 OCDB.

 The CSV files should be named as

 - Pedestals: <tt>peds</tt><i>det_number</i><tt>.csv</tt>
 - Gains: <tt>gains</tt><i>det_number</i><tt>.csv</tt>
 - Sample Rate: <tt>conditions</tt><i>det_number</i><tt>.csv</tt>
 - Strip Range: <tt>conditions</tt><i>det_number</i><tt>.csv</tt>

 where <i>det_number</i> is the detector number (1, 2, or 3).

 Parameters:
    path        Where to look for the CSV files
    forceReInit Always reinitialise
    what        What calibrations to load.

 Automatically generate a dead map from the pedestals and gains.
 A channel is marked as dead of the noise is too high (currently
 more than 10 ADC counts), or the gain is unreasonable (currently
 larger than 10, or smaller than 0.1).

 The procedure does not overwrite channels previously marked as
 dead - e.g., channels marked as dead in the calibration loaded
 from OCDB will continue to be marked as dead.  That is, this
 procedure will never make a channel un-dead.

 Parameters:
    maxNoise  Maximum noise value before a channel is marked
 as dead.
    minGain   Minimum value of the calibrated gain before a
 channel is considered dead.
    maxGain   Maximum value of the calibrated gain before a
 channel is considered dead.

 Draw parameters.

 Parameters:
    option What to draw. Should be one of
 - dead	  Dead channels
 - threshold Threshold
 - gain	  Gain
 - pedestal  Pedestal
 - noise	  Noise (or pedestal width)
 - zero	  Zero suppression
 - rate	  Sampling rate (VA1 clock / ALTRO clock)
 - min	  Minimum strip read out
 - max 	  Maximum strip read out
 - map	  hardware address

 Print information.
 If option contains an 'A' then everything is printed.
 If the option contains the string "FMD" the function will search
 for detector, ring, sector, and strip numbers to print, in the
 format

    FMD<detector><ring>[<sector>,<string>]

 The wild card '*' means all of <detector>, <ring>, <sector>, or
 <strip>.
