dp_enable = 1 means enable dropout handling
dp_extend_def, dp_extend_sec, dp_append_def, dp_extend_utlim: These four parameters work together. For each detector segment, if the data time is < dp_extend_utlim, extend the gap by the greater of dp_extend_def or dp_append_def, if data time is > dp_extend_utlim, extend the gap by the greater of dp_extend_sec or dp_append_def.
dp_prepend_def: For each detector segment, the number of seconds to prepend to data gap boundary.
dp_append_nvalid, dp_prepend_nvalid: For each detector segment, the number of valid events to append / prepend to data gap boundary.
dp_lld, dp_uld: Events that occur in channels outside the range dp_lld and dp_uld for each detector segment will not end a data gap
The following scalar parameters are used to determine the minimum datagap duration in b usec based on rate, r, in /busec via this equation:
coeff*c^(1+xp) * r^xp > (min*c) < (max*c))
where c is 2.^20 and r is raw data rate in counts/det/bsec
dp_cutoff_max - max duration for dropout to be recognized
dp_cutoff_min - min duration for dropout to be recognized
dp_cutoff_coeff - normalization of dropout curve
dp_cutoff_xp - exponent
