Each hit may be reconstructed by one of 19 different methods. These differ by the number of real signals across the channels, which could be combined to form the hit. Each of these methods is designed by a number between `0` and `19` (with empty hits using `-1`), which can be found in the `m` key of a hit, e.g.:
*`0`: All six anode signals and the corresponding MCP signal were found.
*`4`: One signal on layer `u` is missing, all other signals for this event were found.
*`18`: Only one anode signal on each layer was found and the MCP signal is missing. There is no way to check whether this combination of signals is actually valid.
* For hits reconstructed with method `> 10`, extra attention should be given to ensure they add meaningful signal.
* Any method `> 14` has to considered risky, because neither a time sum nor the position can be checked. If the scale factors and/or `w` shift are not correct, then the number of events reconstructed with the risky methods will increase. They will most likely be *ghost hits*, which do not correspond to actual impacts on the detector.
