      Determine the beam helicity for each event. · 47c908bc

      Undoes delayed helicity reporting by learning seed of pseudo random
      sequence used by injector helicity electronics.
      
      This detector class should be added to the Trigger apparatus.
      Delivers the global variables "hel" and "helrep".  "helrep" is the
      reported delayed helicity and "hel" is the actual helicity.  + and -
      helicity are reported as +1 and -1.  If the event is during a MPS
      settling period, then the helicity variables are zero.  For the first
      few seconds of a run, the "hel" variable will be zero as the pseudo
      random sequence seed has not been determined.  (If the trigger class
      is "T" and this detector is called "helicity", then these variables
      will be T.helicity.hel and T.helicity.helrep.
      
      By default, it is assumed that there is delayed reporting of 8 cycles
      and that Quartets are used.  If delayed helicity reporting is not in
      use, then set the parameter "helicity_delay" to zero.
