3 *** Version 0.10.3 (2006/10/23)
4
5 - database: Implemented ObservationMode flag in websites.
6
7 - database: For sequences there is now also the stoptime available on the
8 websites.
9
10 - database: Removed ManuallyChanged flag from sequence-info websites,
11 as it is not needed anymore with the new sequence building algorithm.
12
13 - general: MRolke.[cc,h]: Modification of TRolke from root_v5.12.00b.
14 Class for calculation of confidence intervals (upper limits).
15 Use model 3 or 4 for upper limit calculation for MAGIC observations.
16 Please read the class instruction of TRolke for more information.
17
18 - general: The programs now return 0xfe if the requested resource file
19 doesn't exist.
20
21 - general: Errors comming from root itself are now not output to
22 stderr anymore but to our default (colored) log-stream.
23
24 - general: Changed the interface to TFormula such that now everything
25 is parsed by TFormula, which should allow to use phrases even
26 without paranthesis correctly parsed.
27
28 - callisto: replaced the AdHoc number of effective integration slices
29 in the digital filter by an average of the correct number, averaged
30 over all possible set of weights. This also gives correct numbers
31 for the lo-gains which were totally wrong before.
32
33 - callisto: drastically reduced memory consumption by not storing
34 all intermediate calibration results in memory anymore (we might
35 write them into a file in the future)
36
37 - ganymed: To get a nice Theta-Sq plot (instead of the all-information
38 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
39 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
40 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
41 the "DrawAll" option)
42 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!
43
44
45
46 *** Version 0.10.2 (2006/10/15)
47
48 - general: changed the building of the sequence files such, that
49 the source-/project name in case of wobble-sources is not the
50 source/project of the first data run anymore but the new generalized
51 wobble source/project
52
53 - general: Added some functions to MAstro to calculate sun and
54 moon properties
55
56 - general: Added two new macros (starvisday.C and starvisyear.C)
57 which allow to plot the visibility of several stars in one day
58 or of one star along one year
59
60
61
62 *** Version 0.10.1 (2006/10/11)
63
64 - general: HTML logging output was distorted... fixed.
65
66 - general: Changed the writing of the sequencefiles such that only
67 as many pedestal files as giving at least 1000 pedestal events which
68 are nearby the first calibration run are used as pedestal runs
69
70 - sponde: In the calculation of the collection area(s) and the
71 distribution for MOnte Carlo and estimated energy the error
72 calculation was wrong because root didn't take the errors
73 properly into account... fixed.
74
75
76
77 *** Version 0.10 (2006/10/10)
78
79 - general: all executables now check consistency of the root version
80 installed with the root version used for compilation. The return
81 code in this case is 255.
82
83 - general: The algorithm to build seqeunces has been redesigned
84 completly. It is now more flexible in terms of a resource file
85 resources/sequences.rc which can be used to partly overwrite
86 the default algorithm and defined the important part of the
87 algorithm. It also takes correctly into account several ways
88 of taking wobble-data. Currently the new algorithm doesn't take
89 the number of pedestal events anymore into account (so a sequence
90 could have much less than 1000 pedestal events and data runs are
91 no-more used instead)
92
93 - general: a lot of small changes to make the code compatible with
94 root 5.12/00 and gcc 4.1
95
96 - general: Fixed some warnings thrown if more warnings are switched
97 on in the compiler
98
99 - general: Added a function to MMath which returns the Median of
100 the distribution abs(y[i]-median) but at 68:32 division instead
101 of 50:50, which is somehow the median counterpart of the rms.
102
103 - general: MAstroCatalog allows now to read calatog files (as bsc5)
104 even if they are compressed with gzip (recommended compression
105 is with "-1")
106
107 - showplot:
108 + batch mode creation of image files now works with root 5.12/00
109 + added support for writing bmp (though it never produces
110 bmp which can be read by programs like xv or gimp)
111 + added support for xml
112 + added new option to start the display with a different size, by
113 --display-width=nnn or --display-height=nnn
114 + added options to define the canvas size when the display is started
115 --canvas-width=nnn or --canvas-height=nnn
116 the option can also be used for batch-mode conversion
117 + added an option which automatically fits the display size to the
118 desktop-size: --auto-size
119
120 - merpp: didn't recognize files with the extension .raw.gz - fixed.
121
122 - merpp: allow the reports to have 1000ms due to a bug in the camera
123 program.
124
125 - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected. For
126 details see MRawRunHeader::FixAssignment()
127
128 - callisto: Callisto now raises an error if one of the input files could
129 not be opened.
130
131 - callisto: In some rare cases it could happen that in the hi-gain
132 extraction of the digital filter the extractor returned nonsense
133 results due a wrong initializion of a variable
134
135 - callisto: The lo-gains have been marked as valid in some cases
136 when they got not extracted at all (deltsumlo=deltatimelo=0) because
137 the allowed extraction range (fLoGainLast-fLoGainFirst) was
138 smaller than the number of slices (fLoGainWindowSize) needed
139 by the lo-gain extractor
140
141 - callisto: Updated absolute calibration constants (muon calibration)
142
143 - callisto: fixed a bug which caused the hi-gain saturation not
144 to be handled properly
145
146 - callisto: fixed a bug which gave weird results if hi- _and_
147 lo-gain could not be extracted properly
148
149 - callisto: improves handling of extracted signal if lo- and/or
150 hi-gain could not be extracted properly. If no appropriate
151 calibration of either the signal or the arrival time is possible
152 the pixel is now markes as unsuitable instead of estimated.
153
154 - callisto: Fixed a problem in the spline extraction which gave
155 weird results if the signal was extracted from the first (and
156 highest) slice
157
158 - callisto: Fixed a bug regarding the use of the QE which doesn't
159 effect the result because the default is used anyhow.
160 (The bug was there since 14/07/2005)
161
162 - callisto: Changed the default for fgLoGainStartShift
163
164 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused all hi-/lo-gain calibration
165 factors to be always 10 for all pixels as soon as the first
166 calibration update has happend.
167
168 - callisto: Fixed the hi-/lo-gain offset for the Digital Filter. It
169 was off by more than one slice (which gives wrong values for
170 pixels which have saturated the hi-gain) This was a problem
171 mainly for timing studies, not so much for the automatic standard
172 analysis. Also the values for the Spline have been changed slightly:
173 + Digital Filter from 1.70 to 0.95
174 + Spline from 1.39 to 1.30
175 The numbers were sorted out by an extensive test in the
176 test-database.
177
178 - callisto: Removed the tab showing the average calibrated arrival
179 time. It never gave useful information.
180
181 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoCal" which shows the ratio between hi- and
182 lo-gain pulse for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain have saturated
183 and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above the
184 LoGainSwitch.
185
186 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoOff" which shows the offset between hi- and
187 lo-gain pulse position (after application of LoGainOffset, which
188 means in the ideal case it is 0) for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain
189 have saturated and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above
190 the LoGainSwitch.
191
192 - callisto: After extensive tests a new threshold level for determination
193 of the pulse position has been found at 50phe. This is due to the
194 fact that for lower pulses the arrival time changes its average
195 behaviour dramatically. It tends to the average of the extraction
196 range and starts sticking to non-floating point numbers (5, 6, 7, ...)
197
198 - callisto: Added two more plots to the calibration part. The average
199 extracted signal and the average extracted arrival time as
200 extracted by the signal extractor (This can help debugging problems
201 because it doesn't involve a fit)
202
203 - star: changed the fit for the effective on time such that initial
204 values are calculated automatically now instead of using build
205 in values. This makes the fit more indepedant of the underlaying
206 rates. With a test of ~350 sequences in the test database it could
207 be shown that the new fit gives the same result +/-1sek.
208 The highest deviation was +5s the lowest -10s. You can now control
209 the bahaviour with two resource values:
210 MHEffectiveOnTime.FistBin: 3
211 MHEffectiveOnTime.NumEvents: 12000
212 Use FirstBin=1 and NumEvents=120 to fit the effective on time
213 from the resulting gamma candidates
214
215 - star: The Center histogram in MHHillas is now by default displayed
216 with the colz draw-option
217
218 - ganymed: now produces valid error codes if failed
219
220 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts now supports a hadronness cut. Switch it on
221 with the option "hadronness" instead of "area" or "both" if
222 you want to use both cuts. The hadronness cut includes a fixed
223 cut in hadronness (index 8) and a fixed cut in size (index 9).
224
225 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts: fixed abug introduced 2005/7/14 which caused
226 the M3Long of the anti source to be not properly evaluated
227 (actually is was evaluated as a unique random number) in case
228 of optimization with anti-theta cut switched on. This might have
229 lead to improper, but not necessarily wrong, optimization results.
230
231 - ganymed: ganymed_onoff.rc, ganymed_wobble.rc - updated with comments
232 how to use random forest
233
234 - ganymed: use the same spark cuts as in ganymed_wobble.rc as in
235 ganymed_onoff.rc. Seems to be unintentional that they were different.
236
237 - sponde: Since the introduction of the possibility to define a
238 normalization energy instead of using the integral the default
239 was not using the integral anymore but a normalization energy of
240 1GeV. It is now the integral again.
241
242 - sponde: Fixed a problem in the weighting which did not allow
243 a MC slope of -1.
244
245
246
247 *** Version 0.9.6 (2006/05/24)
248
249 - general: changed the binning of the azimuthal profile of the camera
250 such that it is aligned with the 60deg boundaries.
251
252 - merpp: better handling of problems with the TH, TD part of the
253 CC-REPORT for files older than 200507190 and 200412210
254 respectively
255
256 - merpp: improved handling of RECEIVERS-COM-ERROR in CC-REPORT
257
258 - merpp: implementd latest changes in starguider reports (sinc 9th May)
259
260 - callisto: if an arrival time is extracted outside the fadc range is
261 was set to the boundary before. Now a random number is assigned
262 instead to avoid unfortunate coincidences of arrival times just
263 by this arbitrary value.
264
265 - callisto: added a new option to callisto.rc which allows
266 to set the maximum arrival time difference allowed for the
267 badpixel algorithm to determin whether a pixels belongs to a shower:
268 MJCalibrateSignal.MBadPixelsTreat.MaxArrivalTimeDiff: 0.9
269
270 - callisto: changed the old value (0.5) for MaxArrivalTimeDiff
271 to 0.9 as suggested by Stefan due to a recent study on the fraction
272 of pixels surviving the image cleaning
273
274 - callisto: switched off error in case of "pulse is too much to the left"
275
276 - callisto: The extraction window is not adapted anymore. This means that
277 the pulse is extracted from the full range. The draw-back is that the
278 background (pedestal) will become slightly higher. Switching on/off
279 the PulsePosCheck in the callisto.rc only effects filling the
280 histograms.
281 WARNING: If the pulse is too much to the left data is calibrated!
282 Check the PulsePosCheck-PulsePosition AND the Inhomogeneity parameter
283 in the database to make sure that your data is valid!
284
285 - star: Show also the number of stars correlated correctly by the
286 starguider
287
288 - ganymed: implemented a new class (MHThetaSqN) which allows to use more
289 than one off-source region in wobble-mode. To use it add the following to
290 your ganymed_wobble.rc:
291 + MJCut.NameHist: MHThetaSqN (switch the new feature on)
292 + MHThetaSqN.NumOffSourcePos: 3 (define number of off-regions)
293 + MHThetaSqN.DoOffCut: Yes,No (switch on/off the off-cut)
294 + Cut1.ThetaCut: None
295 + MHThetaSqN.SignificanceCutLevel: 2.0 (increase off-cut by 2.0/1.7)
296
297 - ganymed: in the case the latest report is older than a default (currently
298 one minute) and the current report will be skip the starguider
299 correction and calibration will be reset. The maximum age can be
300 setup from ganymed.rc by (minutes):
301 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAge: 1.5
302
303 - ganymed: A first implementation showing all size-bins for the theta-sq
304 resp. alpha-plots in a single tab automatically
305
306
307
308 *** Version 0.9.5.1 (2006/05/05)
309
310 - general: Added a new option "zdiff" to the Makefile which runs
311 "cvs diff" as "make diff" would do, but with compression
312
313 - general: accelerated MTFillMatrix (used for eample in all training
314 and optimization macros) by skipping some obsolete calles in the
315 eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
316
317 - general: Added a missing feature in the MFilterList class which
318 prevented MFEnergySlope from working correctly in trainenergy.C
319
320 - general: Accelerated the random forest training and usage a bit
321
322 - merpp: Adapted to new raw data file format version 6
323
324 - merpp: fixed a problem with reading the starguider reports
325 after 6.3.2006
326
327 - callisto: At some times six pixels had to be exchanged manually in the
328 data. If the pixels to be swaped are both not found, an error was raised
329 and calibration was stopped. Now it is assumed they are intentially not
330 mapped and the Error has been changed to a Warning.
331
332 - star: Added new image cleaning based on the arrival time of the shower.
333 The new cleaning can be accessed using the parameter "Time" instead of
334 the the old one (like "Absolute) in the star.rc-file.
335 Recommended parameters:
336 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel1: 8.2
337 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel2: 5
338 + MImgCleanStd.CleanRings: 2
339 + MImgCleanStd.KeepSinglePixels: No
340
341 - star: Simplified the calculation of the effective on time. By letting
342 the fit start in the third bin the result should become more stable.
343 The fit quality is now ignored for the theta-plot which is not used
344 in the analysis later. Still better pre-cut which, for example,
345 remove events triggered by car-light (rate changing on a short
346 time-scale) are missing.
347
348 - macros: optimonoff.C, optimwobble.C: implemented a new strategy
349 for optimization (kWeakSource) which is suggested by the Berlin
350 people for weak sources.
351
352 - macros: plotdb.C:
353 + if no dataset and no time-interval is given only sequences with
354 an effective on-time above five minutes are plotted anymore
355 + added a new tab "RelTime" displaying the relative on-time
356 (effective on-time divided by the observation time)
357
358 - macros: optim*.C: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop
359 the optimization became a lot faster
360
361 - ganymed: In the second loop the MHNewImagePar histograms disapeared.
362 To display them just delete the pads displayed on top.
363
364 - ganymed: fixed a bug which could cause strange behaviour in wobble
365 mode if no starguider information was available due to an incorrect
366 initialization of the starguider calibration
367
368 - ganymed: The scale region in the False Source Plot (MHDisp) can now
369 be changed from within the plot. It can also be setup from the
370 resource file using:
371 + MHDisp.fScaleMin: 0.325
372 + MHDisp.fScaleMax: 0.475
373
374 - ganymed, showplot: Fixed a problem with the fit to the off-data
375 (HistOff) which could cause a time lag or an inifinite loop.
376 The bug did not effect the results at all.
377
378 - sponde: Added a new tab showing the effective collection area after
379 trigger (including the software trigger)
380
381 - sponde: MMcSpectrumWeight has a new option which allows to define
382 the scaling factor not by the integral of the events but at
383 a defined energy:
384 e.g. MMcSpectrumWeight.NormEnergy: 200
385
386 - MTFillMatrix, sponde: by skipping some obsolete calles in the
387 eventloops the loop could be accelerated by ~20%
388
389
390
391 *** Version 0.9.5 (2006/03/13)
392
393 - macros: fixed a typo optimwoble.C (SetThetaCut instead SetAlphaCut)
394 and added the standard Disp-parametrization
395
396 - macros: added a new macro datacenter/macros/plotstat.C allowing
397 to plot statistics about the data processing
398
399 - macros: added a new macro to plot the muon correction coefficients
400 versus period (macros/plot/mucal.C)
401
402 - showplot: path inflation for ganymed files was broken
403
404 - callisto: Fixed an important bug. When the number of saturating pixels
405 were calculated the bad pixel information already available from the
406 calibration was ignored. This yields wrong values in case pixels
407 are broken and saturate all the time or randomly.
408
409 - callisto: Updated Muon calibration constants. Spline data now also uses
410 different values for different periods
411
412 - star: The time-evolution shown in the effective on-time plot now displays
413 the axis range (if there are no holes it should be similar to the
414 effective on-time)
415
416 - star: Added two new image parameters:
417 + MNewImagePar.fConcCOG: The ratio of the equivalent signals of
418 the three pixels next to the center of gravity and the size
419 + MNewImagePar.fConcCore: The ratio of the signals of all
420 pixels inside or touching the ellipse and the size
421
422 - ganymed: now stops in requested source isn't found in catalog file
423
424 - ganymed: Many improvements to the phi-plot in wobble mode:
425 + with a template the ideal background is displayed
426 + a possible camera inhomogeneity is taken into account
427 + the anti theta cut is better supported
428 + the phi cut is automatically calculated from the theta cut
429 See the examples in ganymed_wobble.rc for more details.
430
431 - ganymed: fixed plot for E^2*dN/dE. The spectrum was multiplied with two
432 times the bin-width instead of the absolute energy
433
434 - ganymed: New cuts for on/off and wobble mode
435
436 - ganymed: The smearing of the False Source plot has been increased
437 to 0.06
438
439 - ganymed: The starguider calibration can now be changed from the
440 resource file.
441 See the examples in ganymed*.rc for more details.
442
443 - ganymed: added a new option for on-/off-observations
444 MJCut.RandomSourcePosition
445 If switched on the distribution of observation time of the source
446 position in the camera is calculated from the on-data and randomly
447 applied with this distrbution to the off-data.
448
449 - ganymed: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the
450 first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
451
452 - ganymed: The default in ganymed_onoff.rc is now to determin the source
453 position in the off-data randomly according to its distribution in the
454 on-data.
455
456
457
458 *** Version 0.9.4.3 (2006/02/13)
459
460 - general: Fixed a bug in most of the programs which prevented the
461 compile date in the startup message to be displayed
462
463 - general: Simplified program calls. The following abbreviations
464 are now possible:
465 showlog callisto 55599
466 showplot signal 55599
467 star 55599
468 callisto 55999
469 ganymed 2
470 In this cases the corrsponding root-, log-, sequence- or dataset-
471 filename is automatically compiled using the default datacenter
472 paths ("/magic/*")
473
474 - general: Fixed a long outstanding bug which made axis tick marks
475 disappear if MDataFormula was used (eg. abs(x))
476
477 - general: Updated MMath with new functions to calculate the results of
478 a exponential, logarithmic and powerlaw fits analytically.
479
480 - general: Updated some macros with comments:
481 + macros/optim/optimdisp.C
482 + macros/optim/optimenergy.C
483 + macros/optim/optimwobble.C:
484
485 - general: MTFillMatrix (the class to fill one or two MHMatrix from
486 files) now allows adding a pre-cut like in the optimization. E.g. this
487 is useful to perform g/h-separation cuts before training the random
488 forest.
489
490 - general: Between the rund 53300 and 68754 the pixels 553-558 were not
491 correctly assigned in the raw data assignement table. A fix to correct
492 the assignment tabel have been implemented.
493
494 - general: MAstroCatalog now allows rotating of the sky-grid and stars
495 by 90, 180 and 270 deg.
496
497 - general: the macro plotdb.C now allows to highlight sequences belonging
498 to a datset. For more details see the descritions in the macro.
499
500 - StatusDisplay: Fixed the algorithm to calculate the size ratio
501 of the display, it gave wrong results espacially for big sizes.
502 Now the embedded canvas should always have a ratio width/height=3/2.
503 The "Size" options have been updated with values fitting the 3/2
504 size ratio.
505
506 - RanForest:
507 + Updated the random forest classes to support also the
508 regression method implemented by Thomas H.
509 + added new tutorial macro how to train the random forest
510 for energy estimation (macros/optim/rfenergyest.C)
511 + new classes to train the random forest (still in development)
512 mjtrain/MJTrainEnergy, mjtrain/MJTrainDisp, mjtrain/MJTrainSeparation
513 + new tutorial macros for random forest training in macros/train
514 trainenergy.C, traindisp.C, trainseparation.C
515
516 - mars: now allows to setup a cut in the resource file mars.rc to choose
517 the events to be displayed, eg:
518 Cut.Condition: {0} && {1}
519 Cut.0: MHillas.fSize>100
520 Cut.1: MHillas.fSize<900
521
522 - merpp: Made aware of the new .rep format 200510250. This includes
523 interpretation of the Receiver Board Temperatures (MCameraRecTemp),
524 the discriminator thresholds (MCameraTD) and the disciminator
525 delays (MCameraTD). All of them come with the CC report and are therefor
526 written to the CC tree.
527
528 - callisto: fixed a bug in the calculation of the arrival times in
529 the Digital Filter. They were all shifted by the same amount
530 fHiGainFirst. This caused an offset in the order of the position of
531 the left border of the extraction window in the times calculated
532 from high-gain and from low-gain. The bug effected only the absolute
533 arrival times. The bug was there since 30.1.2005.
534
535 - callisto: Changed the ExtractionWindow for the pulse position check
536 such that the camera inhomogeneity becomes as less as possible and
537 comparable to the pulso position check switched off. More details
538 on the study will be given at our result web-page.
539
540 - ganymed: ganymed.rc, ganymed_onoff.rc:
541 changed to new cuts trained with 1ES1218 and Crab-data
542 for maximum sigma*log10(excess)
543
544 - ganymed: In addition to the Hadronness calculator (CalcHadronness)
545 a new option was implemented to estimate Disp (CalcDisp)
546
547 - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow
548 to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files
549 --ins=/magic/sequences
550 and where to search for the image data
551 --ind=/magic/data/star
552
553 - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing
554 dx/dy from the resource file by
555 MSrcPosCorrect.Dx
556 MSrcPosCorrect.Dy
557
558 - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars
559 as the requested source name had were compared (If a source
560 "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304"
561 were requested it could happen that the coordinates of
562 "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed
563 in addition to its name to the logging output.
564
565 - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function
566 from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement
567 for on-only analysis'
568
569 - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy-
570 bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17)
571
572 - sponde: Added a plot E^2*dN/dE
573
574 - sponde: The energy estimator plot should now show values like
575 they are commonly used.
576
577 - sponde: Now MMcSpectrumWeight also excepts formulas with two X
578 (a powerlaw with cutoff didn't work before)
579
580
581
582 *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01)
583
584 - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C:
585 how to calculate the threshold
586
587 - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with
588 MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino
589 and MagicReversi)
590
591 - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise
592
593 - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0
594
595 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new
596 resource file resources/calibration.rc
597
598 - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping
599 the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the
600 automatic processing
601
602 - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information
603 developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than
604 the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important
605 for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old
606 treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the
607 arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken)
608
609 - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the
610 decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower
611 information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation
612 further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal
613 do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel
614 beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the
615 pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal.
616 By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the
617 corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can
618 be supressed.
619
620 - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated)
621 got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed.
622 (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel
623 content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning
624 algorithm)
625
626 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal
627 extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly)
628 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm).
629 (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been
630 introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two
631 types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects
632 the first seconds of data of each sequence.
633
634 - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation
635 of the parameters could be made independant of the noise
636 (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search
637 extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully
638 understood.
639
640 - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case,
641 because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they
642 are sorted by their sequence number.
643
644 - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut
645
646 - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed.
647
648
649
650 *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18)
651
652 - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of
653 inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate
654 fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled #
655 histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely.
656
657 - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms
658 calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails
659 it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast.
660
661 - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode.
662 Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results.
663
664
665
666 *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05)
667
668 - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the
669 MC binning
670
671 - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in
672 April (MSrcPosCorrect)
673
674 - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly
675
676 - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm
677
678 - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes
679
680 - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly
681
682 - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and
683 marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog
684
685 - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically
686 ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly
687 represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading
688 of the subsystem data
689
690 - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also
691 Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset.
692
693 - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo.
694 It gave wrong results by 1./2pi
695
696 - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too
697
698 - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment
699
700 - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available
701
702 - mars: show muon parameters graphically
703
704 - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline
705 argument
706
707 - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190
708 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the
709 counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file
710 (MCameraHV).
711
712 - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated
713 by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070)
714
715 - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context
716 menu, eg in the TBrowser
717
718 - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to
719 - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline)
720 - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
721 This is important mainly for timing studies.
722
723 - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from
724 - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst)
725 - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast)
726 - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst)
727 - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast)
728 Introduced new limits:
729 - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05
730 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5
731 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5
732
733 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter
734 has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special
735 for Monte Carlo calibrations.
736
737 - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference
738 for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05)
739
740 - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain
741 was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the
742 fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable.
743 This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain
744 channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough
745 to make the distribution reliable.
746
747 - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now,
748 the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too
749 high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices
750 saturated and produced wrong limits.
751
752 - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc:
753 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes
754 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes
755 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes
756 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes
757
758 - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration,
759 the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096
760 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more
761 than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the
762 mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some
763 calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more
764 than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where
765 a good precision is needed.
766
767 - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of
768 photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly).
769
770 - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor
771 method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but
772 more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain
773 changes.
774
775 - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data
776 as calculated by MPedestalY2
777
778 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and
779 unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is
780 calculated from interleaved events
781
782 - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to
783 be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the
784 best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value
785 was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another
786 task
787
788 - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate
789
790 - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean
791 DC currents
792
793 - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean
794 Pedestal Rms
795
796 - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider
797
798 - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant
799 for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth
800 plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf
801 became pedestal rms dependant
802
803 - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in
804 http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/
805
806 - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in
807 May/April 05
808
809 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable:
810 ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc
811
812 - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released
813
814 - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize
815
816 - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number
817 of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of
818 total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram
819
820 - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp
821
822 - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function:
823 The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor
824 sqrt(2) to large
825
826 - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp
827 and a background model determined in the first loop is
828 subtracted
829
830 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct
831 solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using
832 the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped.
833
834 - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is
835 already determined by the third moment along the major axis and
836 so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower.
837
838 - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account
839 when calculating the source position. This is especially important
840 for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data.
841
842 - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as
843 good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch
844 it off add
845 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1
846 to your ganymed.rc
847
848 - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of
849 choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest
850 and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use...
851
852 - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold
853
854
855
856 *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03)
857
858 - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should
859 have no influence on compatibility with older camera files
860
861 - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows
862 to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree)
863 before any other tree.
864
865 - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the
866 run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such
867 that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated
868 correctly.
869
870 - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window
871
872 - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which
873 allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or
874 (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of
875 the run stored in the runheader.
876
877 - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in
878 MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was
879 already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
880
881 - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
882 now changes the filename for new weights automatically for
883 cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors.
884
885 - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the
886 name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored.
887 Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead
888 of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc.
889
890 - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is
891 explicitly set also for pretty new runs
892
893 - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows
894 to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1)
895 to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from
896 the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor
897 is fixed to 1
898
899 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit
900 more accurate now
901
902 - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different
903 pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into
904 account - not only kUnsuitableRun
905
906 - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default
907
908 - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2.
909 This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg
910 arrival times) are calculated more accuratly.
911
912 - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
913 MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0
914
915 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants
916 hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root
917
918 - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents
919 from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt
920
921 - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit
922 has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very
923 ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image
924 cleaning around them (Markus G.)
925
926 - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has
927 suggested that different extractors give slightly different
928 absolute results after calibration, due to there different
929 handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although
930 the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or
931 the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated).
932 There for correction factors have been introduced which correct
933 the calibration constants by
934 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
935 and
936 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc)
937 calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can
938 be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample.
939 The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a
940 Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
941
942 - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms
943 vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results
944 on the screen. The output and all following programs not
945 directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected
946
947 - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event
948 is read and Processed before the first data event was read.
949
950 - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard
951 false source plot with a different one. For example: If
952 you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource:
953 NameHistFS: MHDisp
954 For details about the requirements of these plots look
955 at the corresponding classes
956
957 - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize
958 has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead
959 of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this
960 case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization
961 MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call
962 RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize
963 has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy
964
965 - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a
966 different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For
967 more details see the class description and sponde.rc
968
969 - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by
970 their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using
971 the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum
972 and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut
973 normalization is normally wrong.
974
975
976
977 *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20)
978
979 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
980 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
981
982 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
983 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
984
985 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
986 because ProcessFile is missleading
987
988 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
989
990 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
991 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
992 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
993
994 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
995 versions newer than V200404070
996
997 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
998 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
999 (MCameraCentralPixel)
1000
1001 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
1002 (MHVsSize)
1003
1004 - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics
1005
1006 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
1007 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
1008 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
1009 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
1010 can be canged
1011
1012 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
1013 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
1014 using showlog.
1015
1016 - showplot: improved
1017 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
1018 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
1019 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
1020 the printing command from the command line you can use all
1021 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
1022 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
1023 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
1024 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
1025
1026 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
1027 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
1028 intensity has been updated in some cases)
1029
1030 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
1031 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
1032 been taken with Pin Diode.
1033
1034 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
1035 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
1036
1037 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
1038 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
1039
1040 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
1041 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
1042 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
1043 of the cosmisc
1044
1045 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
1046 from 2.5 to 4.5
1047
1048 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
1049 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump
1050 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
1051 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
1052
1053 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
1054 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
1055 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
1056 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
1057 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
1058 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
1059 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
1060 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
1061 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
1062 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
1063 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
1064 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
1065 they are a lot slower)
1066 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
1067 random memory access it might by completely random!
1068
1069 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
1070 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
1071 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
1072
1073 - callisto:
1074 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
1075 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
1076 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
1077 Default: -9.0 +4.5
1078 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
1079
1080 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
1081 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
1082
1083 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
1084 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
1085 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
1086 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
1087 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
1088 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
1089 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
1090 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
1091
1092 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
1093 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
1094
1095 - callisto: for the common extractors
1096 + MExtractFixedWindow
1097 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
1098 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
1099 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
1100 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
1101 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
1102
1103 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
1104 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
1105 hilocalib_df6.root
1106
1107 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
1108 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
1109 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
1110
1111 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
1112 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
1113 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
1114 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
1115 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
1116 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
1117 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
1118
1119 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
1120 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
1121 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
1122 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
1123 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
1124 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
1125
1126 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
1127
1128 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
1129 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
1130
1131 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
1132 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
1133 changed only minimally
1134
1135 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
1136 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
1137 MJSpectrum (sponde)
1138
1139 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
1140 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
1141 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
1142 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
1143
1144 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
1145 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
1146
1147
1148
1149 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
1150
1151 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
1152 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
1153 by 0.2 slices)
1154
1155 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
1156 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
1157

1159 also done with a intercalibration input file
1160
1161 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
1162

1175 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
1176 which is more than 5 times the variance
1177
1178 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
1179
1180 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
1181 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
1182
1183 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
1184 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
1185
1186 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
1187 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
1188
1189 - update the reference lines for the december data
1190
1191 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
1192 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
1193 pulse position changes much.
1194
1195 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
1196 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
1197 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
1198
1199 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
1200 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
1201 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
1202 runs a lot.
1203
1204 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
1205 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
1206
1207 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
1208 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
1209 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
1210 than with old versions (wrong units))
1211
1212 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
1213 formats are still unsupported by root)
1214
1215 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
1216 for automatic processing
1217
1218
1219
1220 *** Version 0.9 (2005/03/23)

1238
1239 - the output of merpp-update now contains starguider information:
1240 MReportStarguider and MTimeStarguider
1241
1242 - Fixed bug in MHHadronness.cc which made that the displayed Q-factor
1243 values were lower than they should. This was more visible for high
1244 energy (Size) events.
1245
1246 - Made MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter the default for callisto
1247
1248 - added a new loop to callisto to support the correct extraction of

1267
1268 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
1269
1270 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
1271 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
1272 the slices by statistics
1273 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
1274 signal extractor without randomization
1275 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
1276 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
1277 randomly fixed)
1278 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
1279 long as nobody really needs it:
1280 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
1281 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
1282
1283 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
1284
1285 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
1286 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
1287 roughly 0.5%
1288
1289 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
1290 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
1291 batch mode possible:
1292 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
1293
1294 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
1295 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)

1298 camera files.
1299
1300 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
1301
1302 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
1303 accurate now
1304
1305 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
1306 MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix

1372 version 4)
1373
1374 - implemented an new option in merpp (--auto-time) to get the time
1375 range for cc and/or caco data from the run header of the raw data
1376
1377 - New star-program (star and MJStar). Taking calibrated data from

1394 MHTimeDiffTheta.
1395
1396 - added the possibility to count how often a signal is above (or
1397 below) a certain threshold in MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot (this
1398 can replace MHTriggerLvl0)

1474 slices in the maximum window
1475
1476 - added a new macro call pointspreadfucntion.C that fits with a 2D
1477 gaussian the DC spot for an star. It gives you the RMS of
1478 the PSF and the center of the star, very useful for misspointing
1479 studies.
1480
1481 - added support for multi-telescope camera files. Added classes
1482 MStereoCalc and MStereoPar, classes to calculate and store shower
1483 parameters calculated from the data of two telescopes, for the MC
1484 studies regarding the MAGIC clone.
1485
1486 - added MMcCalibrationCalc, MMcCalibrationUpdate, classes to obtain
1487 MC data calibrated in photons instead of ADC counts.
1488
1489 - added three macros to show the calibration and analysis chain of
1490 MC data. The macro starmc.C does both calibration and analysis, producing
1491 an output containing Hillas parameters for each event. The macro
1492 mccalibrate.C does just the calibration and writes out a file containing

1552
1553 - enhanced merpp (the executable) to support .raw and .rep files.
1554
1555 - added classes for light calibration (MCalibration* and
1556 MHCalibration*) by Markus Gaug. Further work has to be and will
1557 be done soon.
1558
1559 - Added a preliminary 'synchronizer' (MReadReports) which will
1560 replace MReadMarsFile as soon as it is finished.

1563 and how they can be read from the root file in the correct order
1564 of time (readrep.C)
1565
1566 - Added a generalized histogram (similar to MH3) called MVsTime
1567 which allows to plot variables (or rules - MDataChain - of
1568 variables) vs time. For an example have a look at tempvstime.C.
1569
1570 - Changed the name of the event trees:
1571 + Events --> Events

1670 - added a new status display which can show the present status
1671 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
1672 an example can be found at status.C)
1673

1710 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
1711 have any neighbour)
1712
1713 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from

1767 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
1768 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
1769 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
1770 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
1771
1772 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
1773 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed

1799
1800 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
1801
1802 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
1803 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
1804 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
1805 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
1806
1807 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
1808 for the collection area calculation

1817 ascii file
1818
1819 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
1820 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
1821 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
1822 hillas parameters)
1823
1824 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
1825 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
1826 see MHillas and MHillasExt

1829 see MHillasSrc
1830
1831 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning

1856 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
1857 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
1858
1859 - Added:
1860 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
1861 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
1862 they are needed in the flux calculation in
1863 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
1864 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
1865 of Theta and the true energy
1866
1867 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
1868 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
1869 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
