Description

The new TP format replaced time_over_threshold (TOT) with samples_over_threshold (SOT) and time_peak with samples_to_peak (STP). As a means to move on with the format change, various TA makers replaced references to TOT and time_peak by using a hard-coded conversion (* 32) from SOT to TOT and STP to time_peak.

Each of these conversions is marked with a FIXME comment and details on the problem, e.g., https://github.com/DUNE-DAQ/triggeralgs/blob/233b3e1393b7f28af017f521f2e9870a3c3af986/src/TAMakerADCSimpleWindowAlgorithm.cpp#L92

Research direction

Start with the FIXME and hard-coded conversion in src/TAMakerADCSimpleWindowAlgorithm.cpp, then locate the other TOT and time_peak conversion sites described in the issue. Determine the correct SOT-to-TOT and STP-to-time_peak conversions, replace each marked workaround, and verify the affected trigger-algorithm behavior with the repository's available checks.
