How do we vary these parameters for 2022+ data? At the MC Meeting on 4.12.23, we compared 2023 and 2016 data, and the short observation is:
VTPC: TSlices inc. 3->4, Npads comparable, peak MaxADC decreased x2, peak Charge decreased from 200 to ~150
MTPC: TSlices inc. 3->5, Npads comparable, peak MaxADC decreased from ~60 to ~50, peak Charge comparable
