Call: GET_RAW_SIGNAL

type

Should be a String that contains either `ELECTRON` or `ION`, for respectively electron and ion induced currents.

electrode

This is the Number of a read-out group. Signals are summed over the elements that compose a read-out group - signals for the individual members are not stored.

Read-out groups are formed with the SELECT command. SELECT without arguments will show how the groups are composed.

[No default, this is a mandatory parameter.]

avalanche_wire

This is the wire Number, as shown in the print-out generated in response to the CELL-PRINT option and the PRINT-CELL command, of the wire on which the avalanche takes place.

This wire can be the same as the sense wire but this is not necessarily the case. Note that you must have asked for cross-induced signals in order to have signals computed that are due to avalanches on other wires than the sense wire.

The avalanche wire doesn't have to be SELECT'ed.

angle

The incidence angle in radians of the electron or the ion.

This argument should be a Number.

time

On return, this argument is a 1-dimensional Matrix that contains the sampling points in \μsec of the signals.

This argument should be a global variable, not a constant or an expression. The global may exist before the call is issued, but doesn't have to. If it exists, then its contents will be lost.

signal

Contains, on return, the signal in the form of a 1-dimensional Matrix.

Signal currents are expressed in \μA when they are computed, but their units can change as a result of convolutions.

This argument should be a global variable, not a constant or an expression. The global may exist before the call is issued, but doesn't have to. If it exists, then its contents will be lost.
