/** This class steers the cameras pixel readout in the case of a trigger
  * received by the cameras neighbor (L or R trigger).
  *
  * Concerning the strategy of readout of L/R triggers the following was agreed
  * at the meeting on 2006/05/04 (MK + AK + HJM):
  * @li 'NExtCols' of columns are readout in any case
  * @li the usual (SelectivePixelReadout) strategy applies 
  *     for the triggered pixels
  *
  * Added by thjm, 10.11.2007:
  * @li deletion of single pixels must be prevented, this will keep the noise in
  *     the central part of the camera
