3 *** Version 1.0 (2007/02/16)
4
5 - database: Website to plot values from the database has been added.
6
7 - database: The rate of spark events as found by star is now kept
8 and the rate after cleaning is now with spark events subtracted
9
10 - general: The changes to the interpretation of phrases lead to
11 a problem with the access of MHMatrix objects (eg. "M[0]")... fixed.
12
13 - general: Added a possibility to display grouped data in the plotdb.C
14 macro (and similar macros). This allows to plot hourly, nightly,
15 weekly, monthly and yearly averages.
16 For more details see the plotall function of the macro
17
18 - general: fixed the error display of the camera display. It showed
19 wrong results.
20
21 - general: fixed a memory leak when reading many MStatusDisplays
22
23 - general: added a macro (macros/tutorials/mirrordelay.C) plotting the delay
24 between a spherical and a parabolic mirror
25
26 - callisto: We have a new pulse position check which takes the properties
27 of the extractor automatically into account. So no need to set
28 ExtractWinLeft/Right anymore. Again a check for pulses too much to the
29 left is done. If possible the lo-gain extraction start and hi-gain
30 extraction end is changed accordingly. If no proper extraction range
31 can be set (hi-gain too much to the left) an error is raised.
32
33 - callisto: Redone the signal extraction this includes:
34 + Unified the algorithms to extract the pedestal for all pedestal
35 extractions done
36 + Unification of hi- and lo-gain into one array
37 + Unification of hi- and lo-gain extraction for Spline and
38 Digital Filter (means now exactly the same algorithm is used,
39 not a copy-and-pasted one)
40 + Store pedestal subtracted data in a common place
41 + Improved extraction algorithms. If the algorithms search a
42 maximum but don't find one they don't return the maximum anymore
43 + Improved the extraction such that a information for signal
44 and time which is consistent is returned
45 + replaced the numerical spline with a (not slower) analytical
46 solution
47 + Lowered the saturation limit from 250 to 245 to make sure that
48 we are far away in all pixels from problems with the clock-noise
49 + The start of the lo-gain extraction is calculated from the hi-gain
50 arrival time. In case of saturation an estimation is used.
51 + the hi-gain window was extended to slice 16. This allows extraction
52 of very late pulses in single pixels or of huge hadron showers.
53 + Now uses the lo-gain extraction range for pedestal extraction,
54 not the hi-gain range in the lo-gain
55
56 - callisto: New hi-/lo-gain calibration constants have been produced
57 for all periods from the statistic of the whole period. They are
58 now used automatically depending on the periods. The old constants
59 where deviation in avarega about 2%-3%. The constants are very
60 stable from period to period (<<1%) except for exchanged channels.
61 In a few cases the constants used so far were off by 1%-2% (maybe
62 temperature effects?)
63
64 - callisto: To gain obsolete space we do not write the
65 MPedestalFundamental anymore. Also calibration and bad pixel
66 treatment is not done for it anymore because it has never been used.
67
68 - callisto: Fixed a bug in the seuqence handling which caused the
69 light condition to be ignored
70
71 - star: Added two new tabs "Sparkless" and "Sparks" these tabs show
72 basically the same as "Cleaned" but the distribution devided into
73 the events fullfilling a spark cut or being rejected by it.
74 This cut can be changed from star.rc (see example inside) by
75 the "SparkCut" directive
76
77 - star: Star displays now the average individual pixel-rate (IPR) versus
78 time and the average discriminator threshold (DT) of all pixels.
79
80 - optim: fixed a problem with the optim-macros which was due to a bug
81 in the new phrase parsing
82
83 - ganymed: To get a nice FalseSource plot (instead of the all-information
84 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
85 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
86 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
87 the other options)
88 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!
89
90 - ganymed/optim/train: The cut program, trainings- and optimization
91 macros could run with less files found than expected from the
92 sequence-files. No the execution is stopped in this case.
93
94 - ganymed: now stores the dataset in the output file with all information
95 contained (as sequence number, sequence path, data path) so that the
96 used dataset file can be recreated complete from the output
97
98 - sponde: now also allows the uasge of random forest
99
100 - sponde: added a plot showing the cut efficiency
101
102 - sponde: Using root versions < 5.13/04 still resulted in wrong binomial
103 errors (eg. effecting the collection area) because the errors of the
104 two histograms were swapped in the calculation, which makes a difference
105 in the case the histograms contains weighted events. Aditionally the
106 totalarea was incorrectly taken into account, which results in too small
107 errors, which makes a difference at low statistics were the errors
108 or the collection area dominate.
109
110
111
112 *** Version 0.10.3 (2006/10/23)
113
114 - database: Implemented ObservationMode flag in websites.
115
116 - database: For sequences there is now also the stoptime available on the
117 websites.
118
119 - database: Removed ManuallyChanged flag from sequence-info websites,
120 as it is not needed anymore with the new sequence building algorithm.
121
122 - general: MRolke.[cc,h]: Modification of TRolke from root_v5.12.00b.
123 Class for calculation of confidence intervals (upper limits).
124 Use model 3 or 4 for upper limit calculation for MAGIC observations.
125 Please read the class instruction of TRolke for more information.
126
127 - general: The programs now return 0xfe if the requested resource file
128 doesn't exist.
129
130 - general: Errors comming from root itself are now not output to
131 stderr anymore but to our default (colored) log-stream.
132
133 - general: Changed the interface to TFormula such that now everything
134 is parsed by TFormula, which should allow to use phrases even
135 without paranthesis correctly parsed.
136
137 - callisto: replaced the AdHoc number of effective integration slices
138 in the digital filter by an average of the correct number, averaged
139 over all possible set of weights. This also gives correct numbers
140 for the lo-gains which were totally wrong before.
141
142 - callisto: drastically reduced memory consumption by not storing
143 all intermediate calibration results in memory anymore (we might
144 write them into a file in the future)
145
146 - ganymed: To get a nice Theta-Sq plot (instead of the all-information
147 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
148 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
149 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
150 the "DrawAll" option)
151 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!
152
153
154
155 *** Version 0.10.2 (2006/10/15)
156
157 - general: changed the building of the sequence files such, that
158 the source-/project name in case of wobble-sources is not the
159 source/project of the first data run anymore but the new generalized
160 wobble source/project
161
162 - general: Added some functions to MAstro to calculate sun and
163 moon properties
164
165 - general: Added two new macros (starvisday.C and starvisyear.C)
166 which allow to plot the visibility of several stars in one day
167 or of one star along one year
168
169
170
171 *** Version 0.10.1 (2006/10/11)
172
173 - general: HTML logging output was distorted... fixed.
174
175 - general: Changed the writing of the sequencefiles such that only
176 as many pedestal files as giving at least 1000 pedestal events which
177 are nearby the first calibration run are used as pedestal runs
178
179 - sponde: In the calculation of the collection area(s) and the
180 distribution for MOnte Carlo and estimated energy the error
181 calculation was wrong because root didn't take the errors
182 properly into account... fixed.
183
184
185
186 *** Version 0.10 (2006/10/10)
187
188 - general: all executables now check consistency of the root version
189 installed with the root version used for compilation. The return
190 code in this case is 255.
191
192 - general: The algorithm to build seqeunces has been redesigned
193 completly. It is now more flexible in terms of a resource file
194 resources/sequences.rc which can be used to partly overwrite
195 the default algorithm and defined the important part of the
196 algorithm. It also takes correctly into account several ways
197 of taking wobble-data. Currently the new algorithm doesn't take
198 the number of pedestal events anymore into account (so a sequence
199 could have much less than 1000 pedestal events and data runs are
200 no-more used instead)
201
202 - general: a lot of small changes to make the code compatible with
203 root 5.12/00 and gcc 4.1
204
205 - general: Fixed some warnings thrown if more warnings are switched
206 on in the compiler
207
208 - general: Added a function to MMath which returns the Median of
209 the distribution abs(y[i]-median) but at 68:32 division instead
210 of 50:50, which is somehow the median counterpart of the rms.
211
212 - general: MAstroCatalog allows now to read calatog files (as bsc5)
213 even if they are compressed with gzip (recommended compression
214 is with "-1")
215
216 - showplot:
217 + batch mode creation of image files now works with root 5.12/00
218 + added support for writing bmp (though it never produces
219 bmp which can be read by programs like xv or gimp)
220 + added support for xml
221 + added new option to start the display with a different size, by
222 --display-width=nnn or --display-height=nnn
223 + added options to define the canvas size when the display is started
224 --canvas-width=nnn or --canvas-height=nnn
225 the option can also be used for batch-mode conversion
226 + added an option which automatically fits the display size to the
227 desktop-size: --auto-size
228
229 - merpp: didn't recognize files with the extension .raw.gz - fixed.
230
231 - merpp: allow the reports to have 1000ms due to a bug in the camera
232 program.
233
234 - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected. For
235 details see MRawRunHeader::FixAssignment()
236
237 - callisto: Callisto now raises an error if one of the input files could
238 not be opened.
239
240 - callisto: In some rare cases it could happen that in the signal
241 extraction of the digital filter the extractor returned nonsense
242 results due a wrong initializion of a variable (this happens in
243 cases in which the extracted signal is exactly zero or the
244 digital filter couldn't slide because of a too small extraction
245 window, which could happen in the lo-gain extraction)
246
247 - callisto: The lo-gains have been marked as valid in some cases
248 when they got not extracted at all (deltsumlo=deltatimelo=0) because
249 the allowed extraction range (fLoGainLast-fLoGainFirst) was
250 smaller than the number of slices (fLoGainWindowSize) needed
251 by the lo-gain extractor
252
253 - callisto: Updated absolute calibration constants (muon calibration)
254
255 - callisto: fixed a bug which caused the hi-gain saturation not
256 to be handled properly in the spline (the position of the
257 saturation was calculated incorrectly)
258
259 - callisto: fixed a bug which gave weird results if hi- _and_
260 lo-gain could not be extracted properly. In some cases hi-
261 and lo-gain have not been extracted at all and the random result
262 got calibrated. In other cases the hi-gain was saturating and the
263 lo-gain has not been extracted. For this a completly arbitraty
264 scale factor was applied to the result from extracting the
265 charge of the saturating hi-gain.
266
267 - callisto: improves handling of extracted signal if lo- and/or
268 hi-gain could not be extracted properly. If no appropriate
269 calibration of either the signal or the arrival time is possible
270 the pixel is now markes as unsuitable instead of estimated.
271
272 - callisto: Fixed a problem in the spline extraction which gave
273 weird results if the signal was extracted from the first (and
274 highest) slice (as a workaround extraction from the first
275 slice has been forbidden)
276
277 - callisto: Fixed a bug regarding the use of the QE which doesn't
278 effect the result because the default is used anyhow.
279 (The bug was there since 14/07/2005)
280
281 - callisto: Changed the default for fgLoGainStartShift to -2.4
282
283 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused all hi-/lo-gain calibration
284 factors to be always 10 for all pixels as soon as the first
285 calibration update has happend.
286
287 - callisto: Fixed the hi-/lo-gain offset for the Digital Filter. It
288 was off by more than one slice (which gives wrong values for
289 pixels which have saturated the hi-gain) This was a problem
290 mainly for timing studies, not so much for the automatic standard
291 analysis. Also the values for the Spline have been changed slightly:
292 + Digital Filter from 1.70 to 0.95
293 + Spline from 1.39 to 1.30
294 The numbers were sorted out by an extensive test in the
295 test-database.
296
297 - callisto: Removed the tab showing the average calibrated arrival
298 time. It never gave useful information.
299
300 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoCal" which shows the ratio between hi- and
301 lo-gain pulse for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain have saturated
302 and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above the
303 LoGainSwitch.
304
305 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoOff" which shows the offset between hi- and
306 lo-gain pulse position (after application of LoGainOffset, which
307 means in the ideal case it is 0) for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain
308 have saturated and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above
309 the LoGainSwitch.
310
311 - callisto: After extensive tests a new threshold level for determination
312 of the pulse position has been found at 50phe. This is due to the
313 fact that for lower pulses the arrival time changes its average
314 behaviour dramatically. It tends to the average of the extraction
315 range and starts sticking to non-floating point numbers (5, 6, 7, ...)
316
317 - callisto: Added two more plots to the calibration part. The average
318 extracted signal and the average extracted arrival time as
319 extracted by the signal extractor (This can help debugging problems
320 because it doesn't involve a fit)
321
322 - star: changed the fit for the effective on time such that initial
323 values are calculated automatically now instead of using build
324 in values. This makes the fit more indepedant of the underlaying
325 rates. With a test of ~350 sequences in the test database it could
326 be shown that the new fit gives the same result +/-1sek.
327 The highest deviation was +5s the lowest -10s. You can now control
328 the bahaviour with two resource values:
329 MHEffectiveOnTime.FistBin: 3
330 MHEffectiveOnTime.NumEvents: 12000
331 Use FirstBin=1 and NumEvents=120 to fit the effective on time
332 from the resulting gamma candidates
333
334 - star: The Center histogram in MHHillas is now by default displayed
335 with the colz draw-option
336
337 - ganymed: now produces valid error codes if failed
338
339 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts now supports a hadronness cut. Switch it on
340 with the option "hadronness" instead of "area" or "both" if
341 you want to use both cuts. The hadronness cut includes a fixed
342 cut in hadronness (index 8) and a fixed cut in size (index 9).
343
344 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts: fixed abug introduced 2005/7/14 which caused
345 the M3Long of the anti source to be not properly evaluated
346 (actually is was evaluated as a unique random number) in case
347 of optimization with anti-theta cut switched on. This might have
348 lead to improper, but not necessarily wrong, optimization results.
349
350 - ganymed: ganymed_onoff.rc, ganymed_wobble.rc - updated with comments
351 how to use random forest
352
353 - ganymed: use the same spark cuts as in ganymed_wobble.rc as in
354 ganymed_onoff.rc. Seems to be unintentional that they were different.
355
356 - sponde: Since the introduction of the possibility to define a
357 normalization energy instead of using the integral the default
358 was not using the integral anymore but a normalization energy of
359 1GeV. It is now the integral again.
360
361 - sponde: Fixed a problem in the weighting which did not allow
362 a MC slope of -1.
363
364
365
366 *** Version 0.9.6 (2006/05/24)
367
368 - general: changed the binning of the azimuthal profile of the camera
369 such that it is aligned with the 60deg boundaries.
370
371 - merpp: better handling of problems with the TH, TD part of the
372 CC-REPORT for files older than 200507190 and 200412210
373 respectively
374
375 - merpp: improved handling of RECEIVERS-COM-ERROR in CC-REPORT
376
377 - merpp: implementd latest changes in starguider reports (sinc 9th May)
378
379 - callisto: if an arrival time is extracted outside the fadc range is
380 was set to the boundary before. Now a random number is assigned
381 instead to avoid unfortunate coincidences of arrival times just
382 by this arbitrary value.
383
384 - callisto: added a new option to callisto.rc which allows
385 to set the maximum arrival time difference allowed for the
386 badpixel algorithm to determin whether a pixels belongs to a shower:
387 MJCalibrateSignal.MBadPixelsTreat.MaxArrivalTimeDiff: 0.9
388
389 - callisto: changed the old value (0.5) for MaxArrivalTimeDiff
390 to 0.9 as suggested by Stefan due to a recent study on the fraction
391 of pixels surviving the image cleaning
392
393 - callisto: switched off error in case of "pulse is too much to the left"
394
395 - callisto: The extraction window is not adapted anymore. This means that
396 the pulse is extracted from the full range. The draw-back is that the
397 background (pedestal) will become slightly higher. Switching on/off
398 the PulsePosCheck in the callisto.rc only effects filling the
399 histograms.
400 WARNING: If the pulse is too much to the left data is calibrated!
401 Check the PulsePosCheck-PulsePosition AND the Inhomogeneity parameter
402 in the database to make sure that your data is valid!
403
404 - star: Show also the number of stars correlated correctly by the
405 starguider
406
407 - ganymed: implemented a new class (MHThetaSqN) which allows to use more
408 than one off-source region in wobble-mode. To use it add the following to
409 your ganymed_wobble.rc:
410 + MJCut.NameHist: MHThetaSqN (switch the new feature on)
411 + MHThetaSqN.NumOffSourcePos: 3 (define number of off-regions)
412 + MHThetaSqN.DoOffCut: Yes,No (switch on/off the off-cut)
413 + Cut1.ThetaCut: None
414 + MHThetaSqN.SignificanceCutLevel: 2.0 (increase off-cut by 2.0/1.7)
415
416 - ganymed: in the case the latest report is older than a default (currently
417 one minute) and the current report will be skip the starguider
418 correction and calibration will be reset. The maximum age can be
419 setup from ganymed.rc by (minutes):
420 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAge: 1.5
421
422 - ganymed: A first implementation showing all size-bins for the theta-sq
423 resp. alpha-plots in a single tab automatically
424
425
426
427 *** Version 0.9.5.1 (2006/05/05)
428
429 - general: Added a new option "zdiff" to the Makefile which runs
430 "cvs diff" as "make diff" would do, but with compression
431
432 - general: accelerated MTFillMatrix (used for eample in all training
433 and optimization macros) by skipping some obsolete calles in the
434 eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
435
436 - general: Added a missing feature in the MFilterList class which
437 prevented MFEnergySlope from working correctly in trainenergy.C
438
439 - general: Accelerated the random forest training and usage a bit
440
441 - merpp: Adapted to new raw data file format version 6
442
443 - merpp: fixed a problem with reading the starguider reports
444 after 6.3.2006
445
446 - callisto: At some times six pixels had to be exchanged manually in the
447 data. If the pixels to be swaped are both not found, an error was raised
448 and calibration was stopped. Now it is assumed they are intentially not
449 mapped and the Error has been changed to a Warning.
450
451 - star: Added new image cleaning based on the arrival time of the shower.
452 The new cleaning can be accessed using the parameter "Time" instead of
453 the the old one (like "Absolute) in the star.rc-file.
454 Recommended parameters:
455 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel1: 8.2
456 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel2: 5
457 + MImgCleanStd.CleanRings: 2
458 + MImgCleanStd.KeepSinglePixels: No
459
460 - star: Simplified the calculation of the effective on time. By letting
461 the fit start in the third bin the result should become more stable.
462 The fit quality is now ignored for the theta-plot which is not used
463 in the analysis later. Still better pre-cut which, for example,
464 remove events triggered by car-light (rate changing on a short
465 time-scale) are missing.
466
467 - macros: optimonoff.C, optimwobble.C: implemented a new strategy
468 for optimization (kWeakSource) which is suggested by the Berlin
469 people for weak sources.
470
471 - macros: plotdb.C:
472 + if no dataset and no time-interval is given only sequences with
473 an effective on-time above five minutes are plotted anymore
474 + added a new tab "RelTime" displaying the relative on-time
475 (effective on-time divided by the observation time)
476
477 - macros: optim*.C: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop
478 the optimization became a lot faster
479
480 - ganymed: In the second loop the MHNewImagePar histograms disapeared.
481 To display them just delete the pads displayed on top.
482
483 - ganymed: fixed a bug which could cause strange behaviour in wobble
484 mode if no starguider information was available due to an incorrect
485 initialization of the starguider calibration
486
487 - ganymed: The scale region in the False Source Plot (MHDisp) can now
488 be changed from within the plot. It can also be setup from the
489 resource file using:
490 + MHDisp.fScaleMin: 0.325
491 + MHDisp.fScaleMax: 0.475
492
493 - ganymed, showplot: Fixed a problem with the fit to the off-data
494 (HistOff) which could cause a time lag or an inifinite loop.
495 The bug did not effect the results at all.
496
497 - sponde: Added a new tab showing the effective collection area after
498 trigger (including the software trigger)
499
500 - sponde: MMcSpectrumWeight has a new option which allows to define
501 the scaling factor not by the integral of the events but at
502 a defined energy:
503 e.g. MMcSpectrumWeight.NormEnergy: 200
504
505 - MTFillMatrix, sponde: by skipping some obsolete calles in the
506 eventloops the loop could be accelerated by ~20%
507
508
509
510 *** Version 0.9.5 (2006/03/13)
511
512 - macros: fixed a typo optimwoble.C (SetThetaCut instead SetAlphaCut)
513 and added the standard Disp-parametrization
514
515 - macros: added a new macro datacenter/macros/plotstat.C allowing
516 to plot statistics about the data processing
517
518 - macros: added a new macro to plot the muon correction coefficients
519 versus period (macros/plot/mucal.C)
520
521 - showplot: path inflation for ganymed files was broken
522
523 - callisto: Fixed an important bug. When the number of saturating pixels
524 were calculated the bad pixel information already available from the
525 calibration was ignored. This yields wrong values in case pixels
526 are broken and saturate all the time or randomly.
527
528 - callisto: Updated Muon calibration constants. Spline data now also uses
529 different values for different periods
530
531 - star: The time-evolution shown in the effective on-time plot now displays
532 the axis range (if there are no holes it should be similar to the
533 effective on-time)
534
535 - star: Added two new image parameters:
536 + MNewImagePar.fConcCOG: The ratio of the equivalent signals of
537 the three pixels next to the center of gravity and the size
538 + MNewImagePar.fConcCore: The ratio of the signals of all
539 pixels inside or touching the ellipse and the size
540
541 - ganymed: now stops in requested source isn't found in catalog file
542
543 - ganymed: Many improvements to the phi-plot in wobble mode:
544 + with a template the ideal background is displayed
545 + a possible camera inhomogeneity is taken into account
546 + the anti theta cut is better supported
547 + the phi cut is automatically calculated from the theta cut
548 See the examples in ganymed_wobble.rc for more details.
549
550 - ganymed: fixed plot for E^2*dN/dE. The spectrum was multiplied with two
551 times the bin-width instead of the absolute energy
552
553 - ganymed: New cuts for on/off and wobble mode
554
555 - ganymed: The smearing of the False Source plot has been increased
556 to 0.06
557
558 - ganymed: The starguider calibration can now be changed from the
559 resource file.
560 See the examples in ganymed*.rc for more details.
561
562 - ganymed: added a new option for on-/off-observations
563 MJCut.RandomSourcePosition
564 If switched on the distribution of observation time of the source
565 position in the camera is calculated from the on-data and randomly
566 applied with this distrbution to the off-data.
567
568 - ganymed: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the
569 first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
570
571 - ganymed: The default in ganymed_onoff.rc is now to determin the source
572 position in the off-data randomly according to its distribution in the
573 on-data.
574
575
576
577 *** Version 0.9.4.3 (2006/02/13)
578
579 - general: Fixed a bug in most of the programs which prevented the
580 compile date in the startup message to be displayed
581
582 - general: Simplified program calls. The following abbreviations
583 are now possible:
584 showlog callisto 55599
585 showplot signal 55599
586 star 55599
587 callisto 55999
588 ganymed 2
589 In this cases the corrsponding root-, log-, sequence- or dataset-
590 filename is automatically compiled using the default datacenter
591 paths ("/magic/*")
592
593 - general: Fixed a long outstanding bug which made axis tick marks
594 disappear if MDataFormula was used (eg. abs(x))
595
596 - general: Updated MMath with new functions to calculate the results of
597 a exponential, logarithmic and powerlaw fits analytically.
598
599 - general: Updated some macros with comments:
600 + macros/optim/optimdisp.C
601 + macros/optim/optimenergy.C
602 + macros/optim/optimwobble.C:
603
604 - general: MTFillMatrix (the class to fill one or two MHMatrix from
605 files) now allows adding a pre-cut like in the optimization. E.g. this
606 is useful to perform g/h-separation cuts before training the random
607 forest.
608
609 - general: Between the rund 53300 and 68754 the pixels 553-558 were not
610 correctly assigned in the raw data assignement table. A fix to correct
611 the assignment tabel have been implemented.
612
613 - general: MAstroCatalog now allows rotating of the sky-grid and stars
614 by 90, 180 and 270 deg.
615
616 - general: the macro plotdb.C now allows to highlight sequences belonging
617 to a datset. For more details see the descritions in the macro.
618
619 - StatusDisplay: Fixed the algorithm to calculate the size ratio
620 of the display, it gave wrong results espacially for big sizes.
621 Now the embedded canvas should always have a ratio width/height=3/2.
622 The "Size" options have been updated with values fitting the 3/2
623 size ratio.
624
625 - RanForest:
626 + Updated the random forest classes to support also the
627 regression method implemented by Thomas H.
628 + added new tutorial macro how to train the random forest
629 for energy estimation (macros/optim/rfenergyest.C)
630 + new classes to train the random forest (still in development)
631 mjtrain/MJTrainEnergy, mjtrain/MJTrainDisp, mjtrain/MJTrainSeparation
632 + new tutorial macros for random forest training in macros/train
633 trainenergy.C, traindisp.C, trainseparation.C
634
635 - mars: now allows to setup a cut in the resource file mars.rc to choose
636 the events to be displayed, eg:
637 Cut.Condition: {0} && {1}
638 Cut.0: MHillas.fSize>100
639 Cut.1: MHillas.fSize<900
640
641 - merpp: Made aware of the new .rep format 200510250. This includes
642 interpretation of the Receiver Board Temperatures (MCameraRecTemp),
643 the discriminator thresholds (MCameraTD) and the disciminator
644 delays (MCameraTD). All of them come with the CC report and are therefor
645 written to the CC tree.
646
647 - callisto: fixed a bug in the calculation of the arrival times in
648 the Digital Filter. They were all shifted by the same amount
649 fHiGainFirst. This caused an offset in the order of the position of
650 the left border of the extraction window in the times calculated
651 from high-gain and from low-gain. The bug effected only the absolute
652 arrival times. The bug was there since 30.1.2005.
653
654 - callisto: Changed the ExtractionWindow for the pulse position check
655 such that the camera inhomogeneity becomes as less as possible and
656 comparable to the pulso position check switched off. More details
657 on the study will be given at our result web-page.
658
659 - ganymed: ganymed.rc, ganymed_onoff.rc:
660 changed to new cuts trained with 1ES1218 and Crab-data
661 for maximum sigma*log10(excess)
662
663 - ganymed: In addition to the Hadronness calculator (CalcHadronness)
664 a new option was implemented to estimate Disp (CalcDisp)
665
666 - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow
667 to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files
668 --ins=/magic/sequences
669 and where to search for the image data
670 --ind=/magic/data/star
671
672 - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing
673 dx/dy from the resource file by
674 MSrcPosCorrect.Dx
675 MSrcPosCorrect.Dy
676
677 - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars
678 as the requested source name had were compared (If a source
679 "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304"
680 were requested it could happen that the coordinates of
681 "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed
682 in addition to its name to the logging output.
683
684 - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function
685 from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement
686 for on-only analysis'
687
688 - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy-
689 bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17)
690
691 - sponde: Added a plot E^2*dN/dE
692
693 - sponde: The energy estimator plot should now show values like
694 they are commonly used.
695
696 - sponde: Now MMcSpectrumWeight also excepts formulas with two X
697 (a powerlaw with cutoff didn't work before)
698
699
700
701 *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01)
702
703 - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C:
704 how to calculate the threshold
705
706 - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with
707 MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino
708 and MagicReversi)
709
710 - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise
711
712 - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0
713
714 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new
715 resource file resources/calibration.rc
716
717 - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping
718 the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the
719 automatic processing
720
721 - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information
722 developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than
723 the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important
724 for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old
725 treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the
726 arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken)
727
728 - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the
729 decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower
730 information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation
731 further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal
732 do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel
733 beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the
734 pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal.
735 By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the
736 corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can
737 be supressed.
738
739 - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated)
740 got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed.
741 (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel
742 content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning
743 algorithm)
744
745 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal
746 extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly)
747 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm).
748 (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been
749 introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two
750 types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects
751 the first seconds of data of each sequence.
752
753 - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation
754 of the parameters could be made independant of the noise
755 (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search
756 extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully
757 understood.
758
759 - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case,
760 because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they
761 are sorted by their sequence number.
762
763 - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut
764
765 - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed.
766
767
768
769 *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18)
770
771 - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of
772 inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate
773 fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled #
774 histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely.
775
776 - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms
777 calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails
778 it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast.
779
780 - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode.
781 Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results.
782
783
784
785 *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05)
786
787 - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the
788 MC binning
789
790 - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in
791 April (MSrcPosCorrect)
792
793 - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly
794
795 - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm
796
797 - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes
798
799 - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly
800
801 - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and
802 marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog
803
804 - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically
805 ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly
806 represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading
807 of the subsystem data
808
809 - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also
810 Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset.
811
812 - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo.
813 It gave wrong results by 1./2pi
814
815 - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too
816
817 - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment
818
819 - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available
820
821 - mars: show muon parameters graphically
822
823 - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline
824 argument
825
826 - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190
827 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the
828 counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file
829 (MCameraHV).
830
831 - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated
832 by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070)
833
834 - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context
835 menu, eg in the TBrowser
836
837 - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to
838 - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline)
839 - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
840 This is important mainly for timing studies.
841
842 - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from
843 - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst)
844 - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast)
845 - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst)
846 - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast)
847 Introduced new limits:
848 - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05
849 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5
850 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5
851
852 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter
853 has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special
854 for Monte Carlo calibrations.
855
856 - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference
857 for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05)
858
859 - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain
860 was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the
861 fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable.
862 This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain
863 channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough
864 to make the distribution reliable.
865
866 - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now,
867 the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too
868 high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices
869 saturated and produced wrong limits.
870
871 - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc:
872 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes
873 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes
874 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes
875 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes
876
877 - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration,
878 the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096
879 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more
880 than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the
881 mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some
882 calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more
883 than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where
884 a good precision is needed.
885
886 - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of
887 photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly).
888
889 - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor
890 method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but
891 more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain
892 changes.
893
894 - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data
895 as calculated by MPedestalY2
896
897 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and
898 unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is
899 calculated from interleaved events
900
901 - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to
902 be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the
903 best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value
904 was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another
905 task
906
907 - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate
908
909 - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean
910 DC currents
911
912 - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean
913 Pedestal Rms
914
915 - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider
916
917 - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant
918 for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth
919 plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf
920 became pedestal rms dependant
921
922 - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in
923 http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/
924
925 - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in
926 May/April 05
927
928 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable:
929 ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc
930
931 - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released
932
933 - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize
934
935 - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number
936 of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of
937 total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram
938
939 - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp
940
941 - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function:
942 The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor
943 sqrt(2) to large
944
945 - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp
946 and a background model determined in the first loop is
947 subtracted
948
949 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct
950 solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using
951 the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped.
952
953 - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is
954 already determined by the third moment along the major axis and
955 so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower.
956
957 - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account
958 when calculating the source position. This is especially important
959 for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data.
960
961 - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as
962 good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch
963 it off add
964 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1
965 to your ganymed.rc
966
967 - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of
968 choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest
969 and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use...
970
971 - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold
972
973
974
975 *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03)
976
977 - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should
978 have no influence on compatibility with older camera files
979
980 - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows
981 to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree)
982 before any other tree.
983
984 - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the
985 run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such
986 that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated
987 correctly.
988
989 - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window
990
991 - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which
992 allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or
993 (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of
994 the run stored in the runheader.
995
996 - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in
997 MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was
998 already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
999
1000 - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
1001 now changes the filename for new weights automatically for
1002 cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors.
1003
1004 - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the
1005 name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored.
1006 Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead
1007 of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc.
1008
1009 - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is
1010 explicitly set also for pretty new runs
1011
1012 - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows
1013 to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1)
1014 to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from
1015 the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor
1016 is fixed to 1
1017
1018 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit
1019 more accurate now
1020
1021 - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different
1022 pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into
1023 account - not only kUnsuitableRun
1024
1025 - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default
1026
1027 - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2.
1028 This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg
1029 arrival times) are calculated more accuratly.
1030
1031 - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
1032 MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0
1033
1034 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants
1035 hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root
1036
1037 - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents
1038 from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt
1039
1040 - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit
1041 has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very
1042 ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image
1043 cleaning around them (Markus G.)
1044
1045 - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has
1046 suggested that different extractors give slightly different
1047 absolute results after calibration, due to there different
1048 handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although
1049 the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or
1050 the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated).
1051 There for correction factors have been introduced which correct
1052 the calibration constants by
1053 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
1054 and
1055 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc)
1056 calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can
1057 be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample.
1058 The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a
1059 Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
1060
1061 - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms
1062 vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results
1063 on the screen. The output and all following programs not
1064 directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected
1065
1066 - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event
1067 is read and Processed before the first data event was read.
1068
1069 - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard
1070 false source plot with a different one. For example: If
1071 you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource:
1072 NameHistFS: MHDisp
1073 For details about the requirements of these plots look
1074 at the corresponding classes
1075
1076 - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize
1077 has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead
1078 of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this
1079 case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization
1080 MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call
1081 RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize
1082 has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy
1083
1084 - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a
1085 different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For
1086 more details see the class description and sponde.rc
1087
1088 - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by
1089 their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using
1090 the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum
1091 and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut
1092 normalization is normally wrong.
1093
1094
1095
1096 *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20)
1097
1098 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
1099 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
1100
1101 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
1102 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
1103
1104 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
1105 because ProcessFile is missleading
1106
1107 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
1108
1109 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
1110 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
1111 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
1112
1113 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
1114 versions newer than V200404070
1115
1116 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
1117 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
1118 (MCameraCentralPixel)
1119
1120 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
1121 (MHVsSize)
1122
1123 - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics
1124
1125 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
1126 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
1127 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
1128 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
1129 can be canged
1130
1131 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
1132 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
1133 using showlog.
1134
1135 - showplot: improved
1136 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
1137 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
1138 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
1139 the printing command from the command line you can use all
1140 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
1141 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
1142 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
1143 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
1144
1145 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
1146 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
1147 intensity has been updated in some cases)
1148
1149 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
1150 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
1151 been taken with Pin Diode.
1152
1153 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
1154 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
1155
1156 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
1157 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
1158
1159 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
1160 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
1161 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
1162 of the cosmisc
1163
1164 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
1165 from 2.5 to 4.5
1166
1167 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
1168 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump
1169 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
1170 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
1171
1172 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
1173 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
1174 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
1175 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
1176 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
1177 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
1178 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
1179 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
1180 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
1181 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
1182 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
1183 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
1184 they are a lot slower)
1185 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
1186 random memory access it might by completely random!
1187
1188 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
1189 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
1190 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
1191
1192 - callisto:
1193 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
1194 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
1195 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
1196 Default: -9.0 +4.5
1197 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
1198
1199 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
1200 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
1201
1202 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
1203 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
1204 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
1205 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
1206 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
1207 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
1208 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
1209 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
1210
1211 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
1212 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
1213
1214 - callisto: for the common extractors
1215 + MExtractFixedWindow
1216 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
1217 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
1218 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
1219 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
1220 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
1221
1222 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
1223 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
1224 hilocalib_df6.root
1225
1226 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
1227 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
1228 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
1229
1230 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
1231 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
1232 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
1233 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
1234 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
1235 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
1236 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
1237
1238 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
1239 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
1240 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
1241 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
1242 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
1243 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
1244
1245 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
1246
1247 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
1248 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
1249
1250 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
1251 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
1252 changed only minimally
1253
1254 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
1255 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
1256 MJSpectrum (sponde)
1257
1258 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
1259 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
1260 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
1261 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
1262
1263 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
1264 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
1265
1266
1267
1268 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
1269
1270 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
1271 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
1272 by 0.2 slices)
1273
1274 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
1275 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
1276
1277 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
1278 also done with a intercalibration input file
1279
1280 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
1281
1282 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
1283
1284 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
1285
1286 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
1287
1288 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
1289
1290 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
1291
1292 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
1293
1294 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
1295 which is more than 5 times the variance
1296
1297 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
1298
1299 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
1300 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
1301
1302 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
1303 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
1304
1305 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
1306 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
1307
1308 - update the reference lines for the december data
1309
1310 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
1311 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
1312 pulse position changes much.
1313
1314 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
1315 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
1316 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
1317
1318 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
1319 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
1320 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
1321 runs a lot.
1322
1323 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
1324 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
1325
1326 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
1327 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
1328 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
1329 than with old versions (wrong units))
1330
1331 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
1332 formats are still unsupported by root)
1333
1334 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
1335 for automatic processing
1336
1337
1338
1339 *** Version 0.9 (2005/03/23)
1340
1341 - Calibration is now done autmatically into photo-electrons like
1342 decided by the Collaboration Board
1343
1344 - Reference lines in the display can be read from resource file
1345
1346 - Interlaced calibration events can be handled by callisto
1347
1348 - Hi-Gain vs. Lo-Gain calibration constants can be calculated
1349 and applied in callisto.

1351 - class MJCalibTest can be called by callisto
1352
1353 - callisto can now run with three data types: rawdata, rootdata, MC
1354
1355 - added two classes mreport/MReportStarguider.cc and
1356 mreport/MReportStarguider.h for implementing starguider-data
1357
1358 - the output of merpp-update now contains starguider information:
1359 MReportStarguider and MTimeStarguider
1360
1361 - Fixed bug in MHHadronness.cc which made that the displayed Q-factor
1362 values were lower than they should. This was more visible for high
1363 energy (Size) events.
1364
1365 - Made MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter the default for callisto
1366
1367 - added a new loop to callisto to support the correct extraction of
1368 the pedestal and pedestal rms through the signal extractor
1369
1370 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure
1371 (MHexagonalFT)
1372
1373 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure
1374 in a tasklist (MHexagonalFTCalc) example: hft.C
1375
1376 - added class to enhance the MCerPhotEvt from the Magic camera geometry
1377 MGeomCamMagic to a enhanced geometry MGeomCamMagicXT having only
1378 small pixels, example: extendcam.C
1379
1380 - added possibility to write data to memory (TTree) using MWriteRootFile
1381
1382 - added possibility to read a TTree stored only in memory by MReadTree
1383
1384 - new classes to deal with the interleaved calibration events:
1385 MTriggerPattern, MTriggerPatternDecode and MFTriggerPattern
1386
1387 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
1388
1389 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
1390 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
1391 the slices by statistics
1392 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
1393 signal extractor without randomization
1394 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
1395 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
1396 randomly fixed)
1397 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
1398 long as nobody really needs it:
1399 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
1400 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
1401
1402 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
1403
1404 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
1405 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
1406 roughly 0.5%
1407
1408 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
1409 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
1410 batch mode possible:
1411 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
1412
1413 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
1414 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)
1415
1416 - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
1417 camera files.
1418
1419 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
1420
1421 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
1422 accurate now
1423
1424 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
1425 MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix
1426 * the new implementation is faster and
1427 * needs less storage space
1428
1429 - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the
1430 whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)
1431
1432 - implemented new image parameters for the border length of
1433 the shower image (MNewImagePar2)
1434
1435 - implemented wobble-mode in ganymed
1436
1437 - new class (MJOptimize) taking care of all optimization processes

1448
1449 - new macros for database interaction: filldotrun.C, filldotrbk.C
1450
1451 - added new program which can convert colored output which was redirected
1452 into a file back into colored text (for example to display it with
1453 more): showlog
1454
1455 - added new program to display an MStatusArray of plots (stored with
1456 MStatusDisplay) from a file: showplot
1457
1458 - Added support for Sequences (MSequence). Sequences are blocks of run
1459 files containing the same calibration and belonging to the same
1460 source
1461
1462 - Added a new task (MTaskEnv) which can be used in setup files to switch
1463 between different tasks (for example to choose a signal extractor)
1464
1465 - Implemented automatic file splitting in MWriteRootFile
1466
1467 - After image cleaning an island index is assigned to all used pixels.
1468 The index corresponds to the order of the islands in size.
1469
1470 - added a cleaning which takes signal height _and_ arrival time into
1471 account: probability cleaning (for more details see MImgCleanStd)
1472
1473 - added a cleaning which takes takes the absolute number of photons
1474 times the area ratio as cleaning level
1475 (for more details see MImgCleanStd)
1476
1477 - Changed calculation of image parameters such, that it can be done
1478 for all used pixels or the pixels with a defined island index only
1479
1480 - implemented new image parameters displaying the number of islands,
1481 saturated hi-gain and lo-gain pixels (MImagePar, MHImagePar)
1482
1483 - event display in executable changed to support also calibrated files
1484 (done with MJCalibrateSignal)
1485
1486 - added program doing the calibration and the signal extraction
1487 and signal calibration: callisto Most part of the setup is done
1488 by a resource file: callisto.rc
1489
1490 - implemented support for pixels with negative IDs (Raw file format
1491 version 4)
1492
1493 - implemented an new option in merpp (--auto-time) to get the time
1494 range for cc and/or caco data from the run header of the raw data
1495
1496 - New star-program (star and MJStar). Taking calibrated data from
1497 callisto/MJCalibrateSignal as input. The setup is done through
1498 a resource file: star.rc
1499
1500 - Added possibility to setup the eventloop in the mars-executable
1501 Camera Display by a resource file: mars.rc
1502
1503 - The the mars-executable Camera Display can now also read
1504 calibrated data files written by callisto/MJCalibrateSignal
1505
1506 - Added a new class which can calculate the source position in
1507 the camera from a pointing model known to be correct and
1508 the pointing model used for observations (MSrcPosFromModel)
1509
1510 - added a new version of the class calculating the effective on-time
1511 MHEffectiveOnTime. It unifies the old classes MHEffOnTime,
1512 MHEffOnTimeTime, MHEffOnTimeTheta, MHTimeDiff, MHTimeDiffTime and
1513 MHTimeDiffTheta.
1514
1515 - added the possibility to count how often a signal is above (or
1516 below) a certain threshold in MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot (this
1517 can replace MHTriggerLvl0)
1518
1519 - added ore convinient ways to set the axis-titles of your histograms
1520 in your macro to some MH-classes like: MH3, MHVsTime, MHSectorVsTime,
1521 MHPixVsTime, MHVsTime, MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot
1522
1523
1524

1534 - star display to display star catalogs (MAstroCatalog)
1535
1536 - star display to 'mirror' stars to the camera (MAstroCamera)
1537
1538 - implemented a new cleaning option which allows cleaning scaled with
1539 the real ratio of the rms depending on the pixel size, not only the
1540 square root of the pixelsize (MImgCleanStd, MCameraData)
1541
1542 - removed obsolete MBlind* classes
1543
1544 - Signal extractor taking the AB flag into account implemented (this makes
1545 an odd number of slices for signal extraction possible
1546 (MExtractSignalABcorr)
1547
1548 - implemented a class extracting the pedestal from the raw-data (events)
1549 itself using empty lo-gain (MpedCalcFromLoGain)
1550

1552
1553 - Added Makefile for Darwin (this OS is NOT officially supported!)
1554
1555
1556
1557 *** Version 0.8.4 (2004/04/19)
1558
1559 - new fast arrival time extractor using cubic splines:
1560 MExtractTimeFastSpline
1561
1562 - implementes multi-argument support in MDataChain
1563 ("pow(a, b)")
1564
1565 - implemented double reference support in MDataChain
1566 ("MCameraLV.fPowerSupplyA.fVoltagePos5V")

1978 - Added:
1979 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
1980 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
1981 they are needed in the flux calculation in
1982 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
1983 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
1984 of Theta and the true energy
1985
1986 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
1987 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
1988 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
