The digitisation format

The digitised hits format should in principle simulate the detector readout format which may be different for different detectors. These formats are not yet defined. But for practical reasons below is presented a digitisation bank format for pixel detector:

...
     #. Pixel detector DIGItisation definition
   #.  set   detector element
  :DETD  :PBXL  :PXBD
      4           #. no. of digitisation elements 
1   :V          7 #. row number     
2   :W          9 #. column number  
3   :TIME       4 #. time           
4   :ADC       12 #. charge 
...

The DIGI bank will be filled by the GEANT DIGI package

          GSDIGI (ISET, IDET, LTRA, NTRA, NUMBV, KDIGI, IDIG)

which sets up the references to the KINE structure (via list of tracks LTRA(1:NTRA) which causes this digitisation) so that for each digitisation one can find the track(s) responsible for one digitisation.
