Ancillary Files: Calibrations, Settings, Mask, Configurations

ConfigSystem handles about 20 different types of ancillary which fall into four major classes. They are:

1. calibrations: files generated by sub-system analysis which contain constants need to calculate configuration settings;
2. settings: files generated by sub-system analysis which contain register settings;
3. masks: files which disable specific channels;
4. configurations: files which contain complicated set of requests, such are per-channel threshold requests expressed in physical units. This also include ``charge injection dictionaries'' which define the interesting ranges to scan over in charge injection scripts.

All the various types of ancillary files are described in the precincts by which they are used. Furthermore, in appendix D the XML syntax for each ancillary file type is described.
