/**
 * \class CSCChannelTranslator
 *
 * Maps between raw/online channel numbers (for strips/cathodes and wires/anodes)
 * and offline geometry-oriented channel numbers, in which increasing number
 * corresponds to increasing local x (strips) or y (wire groups) as defined
 * in CMS Note CMS IN-2007/024.
 *
 * It is expected that this class will one day need to make use of a 'cable map' stored
 * in conditions data. At present it does not, and the mappings are hard-coded.
 *
 * Currently this class does the following: <BR>
 * 1. Sorts out the readout-flipping within the two endcaps for ME1a and ME1b strip channels. <BR>
 * 2. Maps the ME1a channels from online labels 65-80 to offline 1-16. It is expected that in the long
 * run we may drop the offline convention for ME1a as an independent CSCDetId but this has not yet
 * been done. When it is, this conversion will be removed. <BR>
 * 3. Does nothing with wiregroup channels; the output = the input. In the long term we intend to
 * move remapping currently embedded in the CSCRawToDigi unpacker into this class.<BR>
 *
 * Beware that the 48 strips in ME1a are ganged to 16 channels, so be careful to distinguish
 * the nomenclatures 'strip' vs 'channel'. It is usually a meaningful distinction!
 *
 * Also note that CSCDetId for ME11 and ME1b are identical. Offline we presume ring=1 of station 1
 * to mean the ME1b strips. We use the identifier ring=4 to denote the ME1a strips.
