Channels
========
The channel types can be specified in two different ways. For the channels
directly (and uniqually) associated with sensor the type (and options) are
specified using "SensorType" "DefaultSensorType" nodes within "Info" branch.
This nodes are structured almostly in the same way as the Sensor descriptions
within the "Geometry" branch. However, they are specifying the information
about the associated data channels and not the sensors itself.
Since addressing in that case are not connected with the used logical layout,
this method is the best then applicable. However, in some cases the multiple
data channels are associated with single sensor. In this case data channels
can not be uniqually indentified by the associate sensor and other approach
should be used. The Coincidences and other channels associated with special
conditions can not be described by this method as well. To describe such data
the "ChannelType" and "DefaultChannelType" nodes are used. They address the
data channels by means of the Channel IDs from the "Layout" branch (equal to
the value position in the data vector) However, the special care should be
taken in the case of the logical layout changes.
Both methods can be mixed in the single description. The next string describes
Coincidence channels for the NAMMM detector.

===============
id Channel unique ID number
layer, sensor ID of the sensor used to obtain channel value
type Channel Type
units Enginnering Units
low, high Minimal and maximal values likely to be obtained in
normal operation
energy_min, energy_max Maximal and minimal energy of the particles registered
by the detector (MeV by default)
direction The particle comming direction,
for coincidences: --, where a, b and c contain
information about sensors detected signal in each layer.
#. The ID of the sensor registered the signal in
the layer. The signal had not been detected by
any other sensors in that layer.
z. The signal is not registered by any sensor in
the layer.
s. The signal is registered by one or more sensors
in the layer.
o. The signal is registered by the single sensor
in the layer. The ID is not specified.
m. The signal is registeered by the multiple
sensors in the layer.
?. No restrictions for that layer. All combinations
are possible.
