  * copy from HCAL (author: J. Mans)
  *
  * Provides pulse delay as a function of amplitude for three choices
  * of QIE bias setting.  The "Medium" setting is used in HB and HE,
  * while the "Slow" (and lower noise) setting is used in HO.  All
  * data taken from bench measurements of the QIE and plotted in
  * Physics TDR Vol 1.
  *
  * Not to be used for HF at this time (unlikely to have much effect, however)
