Description
Until April 2007 the Major Atmospheric Gamma ray Imaging Cherenkov
(MAGIC) telescope used a 300 MSamples/s flash analog-to-digital
converter (FADC) system to sample the shaped photomultiplier tube (PMT)
signals produced by the captured Cherenkov photons of air showers.
Different algorithms to reconstruct the signal from the read-out samples
(extractors) have been implemented and are described and compared.
Criteria based on the obtained charge and time resolution/bias are
defined and used to judge the different extractors, by applying them to
calibration, cosmic and pedestal signals. The achievable charge and time
resolution have been derived as functions of the number of incident
photo-electrons.

The MAGIC Collaboration is integrated by 20 research institutes and university departments from Armenia, Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Switzerland and USA. The collaboration comprises two 17m diameter telescopes, located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, designed to measure the Cherenkov radiation associated with
