           where n is the number of counts data readouts (cnt) within an album.
           Only readouts with the trend check satisfied (not undetermined or
           rejected) are included in the sum.

     If LOW GAIN event, event type is (A&B)l.A.B.-C or (A&B)1.A.-B.-C
     (a6 is irrelevant).

T2 and T3 are used for B events only.

T2 = 1 if no rate readout that would have counted this PHA event was available.

T3 is used only if T2 = 0. Otherwise T3 = 0.

T3 = 0 if the rate readout was > 0.
   = 1 if the rate readout was = 0

T4 = 1 if Ll = R and Ll has not been forced
       equal to R due to LED being off.
   = 0 otherwise

IMP-8 Trend Check

Consider two readouts of a rate N1 and N2 in sequences S1 and S2
respectively (S2>S1).

If N1 or N2 is padded or if S2 not equal S1 + Ns (where Ns = the number of
sequence between readouts of that rate), then the trend check is
undetermined (T = 1).

If S2 = S1 + Ns and

     1/15 < N2'/N1' < 15 where N1' = max(N1,1)
                               N2' = max(N2,1)

then N2 is accepted by the trend check (T = 0).

Otherwise, the trend check rejects N2.

If N2 is rejected by the trend check, it will still be used as N1 in the
trend check of the next readout of that rate.
