Revision History:-
================
2003-02-11 (jmw) - Original
2003-02-19 (jmw) - Revised documentation.
2003-11-04 (gac) - Made distinction between MUXBox and MUX bus numbers,
redefined NQRH_SH_HW to be the Shaper Hardware
address number (was previously called 'slot number')
2003-11-17 (gac) - renamed word prefix NCDR -> NQRH, removed bit packing
renamed NQRH_HV to NQRH_HV_SUPPLY in order to match NQHH bank
added pulser distribution system words
2004-02-08 (jmw) - Added word 0 - Number of NCD string records. Placed
carriage return after Shaper ADC value to make string
readable by SNODB.

Description
-----------
Bank Number: 1
Written out at the beginning of a run by SHaRC. Contains geometry
information and how NCD is physically connected electrically. Contains
the relationship between detector id, shaper card and number,
multiplexer number and channel, oscilloscope id and hv power supply.
The X and Y coord. are not strictly needed, but it is easier to
include this data here as it simplifies getting the "constant" data
for analysis.
