35	35	The intensity is digitised to an 8 bit value. This is measured after the AGC amplification has taken place and is nominally the same measurement as in the discrete system (though the discrete value is accumulated over a longer time period so will typically have a higher value). The AGC value for the matching discrete return is the value used for all the related FWD samples - i.e. the AGC value is constant for a laser pulse.

37	38	Similarly, the range data (measured to 1.5cm range / 100 picoseconds) is still part of the discrete system and FWD ranges are derived by association with the first return's range.
