     - found serious bug in calculation of conversion factors for the 
       outer pixels: 
       GetMeanConversionBlindPixelMethod and 
       GetMeanConversionPINDiodeMethod 
       did not correct for the area of the outer pixel, this did only 
       MCalibrationCam::GetPixelContent which is not used by MCalibrate

     - removed uncommented code (arrival time)
     - set start byte back by one like it was before TB's changes 
       (does not affect the calculation of number of FADC slices)

   * manalysis/MExtractSignal2.[h,cc]
     - removed uncommented code (arrival time)

   * manalysis/MHPedestalPixel.[h,cc]
     - is now filled with total pedestals (not per slice), but results are 
       renormalized to values per slice (this is not to screw up with the 
       pedestal RMS and the derived uncertainties)
     - new function Renorm(nslices)

   * manalysis/MPedestalCam.[h,cc]
     - introduced function Clone() (like proposed by TB)
     - call to MHPedestalPixel operator() not const any more
     - take out lots of uncommented code 
     - found bug in initialization of hists. SetupFill is called in 
       PreProcess, therefore, TObjArray is not yet enlarged there. 
       Now, InitUseHists is called in Fill
     - MHPedestalPixel is now filled with total pedestals (not per slice), 
        but results are 
       renormalized to values per slice (this is not to screw up with the 
       pedestal RMS and the derived uncertainties)

   * manalysis/MPedCalcPedRun.cc
     - added author
     - split calculation of RMS into two steps to make it more clear to 
       the user

       MExtractSignal2 which is now fixed
     - Skip HiLoConversionCalibration

   * macros/starmc2.C
     - added 3rd argument, "kFALSE", to call of MWriteRootFile::Add
       for both MMcEvt and MMcRunHeader since these containers are
       not present in real data. Name of macro is no longer adequate if
       we will use it for calibrated real data (to be changed if so).



 2004/02/05: Sebastian Raducci

   * mtools/MCubicSpline.[h,cc]
     - added
     - this class will take the place of the TSpline class to 
       calculate arrival times

     - added
     - this class is used by MCubicSpline to store coefficients

   * macros/spline.C
     - added
     - test macro. Shows how to use the MCubicSpline class
     - it could be used to test the methods of the Spline class

    manalysis/MPedCalcPedRun.[h,cc], manalysis/MHPedestalPixel.[h,cc],
    macros/calibration.C:
    - histograms are now filled with MFillH as proposed and coded by 
      Thomas Bretz. Some modifications had to be done, however. 
    - Class to hold MHPedestalPixel is still MPedestalCam
    - MPedCalcPedRun does nothing any more (except from what is was 
      doing before)

  * manalysis/MExtractSignal.cc
    - remove uncommented code

  * mcalib/MCalibrationCalc.[h,cc]
    - modified way to handle histogram overflow: Now flags are set and 
      ChargevsN histogram is not tried to be filled subsequently



 2004/02/03: Markus Gaug
 
   * manalysis/MHExtractedSignalPix.[h,cc]
     - added Thomas B. modified version of MHPedestalPixel. Later will 
       remove MHPedestalPixel

   * manalysis/MCalibrationPix.[h,cc], manalysis/MHCalibrationPixel.[h,cc],
     manalysis/MCalibrationCam.cc, macros/calibration.C:
     - now split completely absolute and relative times. Absolute 
       times are not fitted, but their histogram mean and rms are 
       returned.



 2004/02/03: Thomas Bretz

   * mfileio/MReadTree.cc:
     - fixed handling of -1 entries in AddFile: root 3.10/02 crashed

   * manalysis/MExtractSignal.[h,cc]:
     - moved code to extract the signal from Process to
       new member function FindSignal, I left the arrival time 
       extraction as commented-out code in the code just as a 
       demonstration to do this very fast.



 2004/02/02: Markus Gaug

  * manalysis/MPedCalcPedRun.cc
    - corrected formulae in Class description

  * mcalib/MCalibration.[h,cc], mcalib/MHCalibration.[h,cc],

      the relative ones. 



 2004/02/02: Abelardo Moralejo

   * manalysis/MMcCalibrationUpdate.cc, MMcPedestalCopy.cc

     - same as above.

   * NEWS
     - updated.



 2004/02/02: Thomas Bretz

     - changed default FADC integration range (more adequate for coming
       camera version).

   * macros/mccalibrate.C, starmc2.C
     - added. First macro transforms input files from camera simulation
       into files with pixel data already calibrated in photons. The 
       second reads in an already calibrated data file and produces an 
       output file with Hillas parameters. Both together do the same as
       starmc.C, but it is convenient to have files containing 
       calibrated pixel information.

     - added some const-qualifiers
     - replaced (rig<0.5/pr*R*(r2-r1)+r1) by (rig-r1)*pr<rnd
       with rnd = R * (r2-r1)/2 to make sure that we cannot
       devide by 0

       available
     - initialize charges histogram with a bigger range
     - use pedestal information to constrain the pedestal fit ranges

   * manalysis/MHPedestalPixel.cc
     - initialize charges histogram with a bigger range

   * macros/calibration.C
     - SetRange of MExtractSignal to 1,14 (see emails of yesterday)
     - apply new GetPixelContents of MPedestalCam (more calculations 
       and displays of errors, correction for different FADC slice 
       number)

   * manalysis/MExtractSignal.cc
     - not access to MArrivalTime any more. The same information is 
       stored in MRawEvt->GetPixelContent(...)

   * manalysis/MCalibrationCalc.cc
     - retrieve default arrival time from MRawEvt 

   * manalysis/MCalibrationBlindPix.cc, manalysis/MCalibrationPix.cc
     - check for NaN's in fit results



 2004/01/29: Abelardo Moralejo

     - added missing declaration of ReInit

   * manalysis/MMcCalibrationUpdate.cc
     - added call to MCalibrationCam::SetBlindPixelMethodValid(kTRUE)

 2004/01/29: Markus Gaug

   * mcalib/MCalibrationCalc.[h,cc], mcalib/MCalibrationCam.[h,cc], 
     mcalib/MCalibrationConfig.h
     - put gkCalibrationBlindPixelId and gkCalibrationPINDiodeId 
       directly into the corresponding classes.



 2004/01/29: Nicola Galante

   * mhistmc/MHMcTriggerLvl2.[h,cc]:
     - In method MHMcTriggerLvl2::GetHistByName(const TString name) 
       added string checking to return also 
       fHistCellPseudoSize, fHistCellPseudoSizeNorm

   * mcalib/MCalibrationCalc.[h,cc], mcalib/MCalibrationCam.[h,cc]:
     - included flags to indicate if Blind Pixel Method or PIn Diode 
       method was OK. Up to now, program stopped, if one of the two 
       methods was chosen but not able to being executed.

   * manalysis/MArrivalTimeCalc.cc, manalysis/MExtractSignals.cc,
     manalysis/MGeomApply.cc:

 2004/01/28: Abelardo Moralejo

   * mcalib/MMcCalibration.cc
     - fixed wrong variable type in call to TH1F constructor (number of
       bins is now integer), which resulted in a compilation warning.



 2004/01/28: Thomas Bretz

   * manalysis/MPedestalCam.cc:
     - removed unwanted CheckBound from operators. CheckBounds is ONLY
       ment for really old MC files and will be removed in the future
       anyhow.

     - removed obsolete include of MFFT 

   * manalysis/MCerPhotAnal.cc, manalysis/MCerPhotCalc.cc,
     manalysis/MPedestalCam.[h,cc]:
     - removed use of obsolete MPedestalCam::CheckBounds. This was
       a workaround for a 'bug' in very old camera files, which is not
       necessary anymore.

   * manalysis/MCerPhotAnal2.[h,cc]:
     - replaced MPedestalCam by MPedPhotCam
     
   * manalysis/MExtractSignal.cc:

     - initialize default values to 0 instead of -1.

   * manalysis/MPedestalCam.[h,cc]:
     - include CheckBounds, also in operator[]

   * mcalib/MCalibrationCam.[h,cc]:
     - apparently, there was a reference to InitSize(UInt_t i) instead 
       of InitSize(Int_t i), where compiler complained, now changed
 
   * mcalib/MHCalibration*, mcalib/MCalibration*:
     - fixed all Clear()'s, Reset()'s, direct intializers



 2004/01/27: Thomas Bretz

   * mdata/MDataChain.cc:
     - added '%' to supported operators



 2004/01/26: Nicola Galante

   * manalysis/MMcTriggerLvl2.[cc,h]:

     - Defined some static constants to avoid ugly "magic numbers"
       in arrays: gsNCells, gsNTrigPixels,
       gsNPixInCell, gsNLutInCell, gsNPixInLut, fNumPixCell.
     - Added method 
       MMcTriggerLvl2::GetCellCompactPixel(int cell, MGeomCam *fCam)
       which computes compact pixels into a given L2T macrocell.
     - Added method 
       MMcTriggerLvl2::CalcBiggerCellPseudoSize() 
       which computes fCellPseudoSize, the maximum Pseudo Size into L2T 
       macrocells
     - Added method 
       MMcTriggerLvl2::GetCellPseudoSize() const 
       which returns fCellPseudoSize
     - Added method 
       MMcTriggerLvl2::IsPixelInCell(Int_t pixel, Int_t cell),
       which controls whether a pixel belongs to a given L2T cell.
     - Added method 
       MMcTriggerLvl2::GetMaxCell() const 
       which returns fMaxCell, the cell with the maximum 
       fCellPseudoSize.



 2004/01/26: Markus Gaug, Michele Doro

   * manalysis/MArrivalTime.[h,cc], manalysis/MArrivalTimeCalc.[h,cc]:
     - moved calculation of arrival time from MArrivalTime to 
       MArrivalTimeCalc. MArrivalTime does not do any Process-job
       anymore
     - TSpline5 now on stack. 
     - function to set the stepsize

   * mcalib/MHCalibrationBlindPixel.[h,cc]:
     - force mu_{0} in Blind Pixel Fit to be around 0 in fKPoisson4
     - implement combined Polya fit and Michele's back-scattered electron
       fit 

   * mcalib/MHCalibrationPixel.[h,cc], mcalib/MCalibrationPix.cc,
     mcalib/MCalibrationPINDiode.cc:
     - combine FitChargeHiGain and FitChargeLoGain into one function

   * macros/calibration.C
     - improve double gauss fit a bit



 2004/01/26: Thomas Bretz

   * mraw/MRawEvtPixelIter.[h,cc]:
     - removed member function GetNumPixels. For more details see mantis.

   * manalysis/MArrivalTime.[h,cc]:
     - reorganized includes
     - fixed InitSize and ClearArray (now Reset) to fit MParContainer
       definition
     - for the moment removed usage of fPixelChecked - THIS WILL CRASH YOUR
       PROGRAM

   * manalysis/MArrivalTimeCalc.[h,cc]:
     - reorganized includes
     - removed many obsolete code, exspecially copy&paste relicts!
     - fixed usage of InitSize
     - removed CleanArray. Reset() is called automatically before Process()

   * macros/starmcstereo.C
     - Added. Example of how to run the analysis chain for MC files
       containing simulation of stereo systems of 2 telescopes.

   * mcalib/MCalibrate.cc
     - Added check that value of signal from MExtractedSignalPix is not
       the default (error) value. In such a case, the signal in 
       MCerPhotEvt is now set to 0. Before, all pixels got very high
       values in MCerPhotEvt in case the MRawEvtData object for the
       event was missing in the file. This happened in MC files, in 
       which in some circumstances an event is written without the
       pixel information (for instance, when running stereo simulations
       the pixel data is missing for non-triggered telescopes, but the
       event headers are present).



 2004/01/23: Markus Gaug

   * manalysis/MExtractSignal.[h,cc], manalysis/MExtractedSignalPix.[h,cc],

       in MExtractSignal
     - pass from TH1I histos to TH1F for times

   * mcalib/MCalibrationBlindPix.h, mcalib/MHCalibrationBlindPixel.[h,cc],
     mcalib/MCalibrationPix.[h,cc], mcalib/MHCalibrationPixel.[h,cc],

     - Added support (using AddSerialNumber) for stereo MC files.



 2004/01/23: Thomas Bretz

   * mbase/MAstro.cc:
     - Fixed calculation of MJD. In Ymd2Mjd a plus should be a minus.

   * mreport/MReport*.[h,cc]:
     - changed all classes to return Int_t instead of Bool_t in 
       InterpreteBody
     - changed MReportFileRead such, that a wrong line results in
       skipping the line instead of abort reading.

   * manalysis/MExtractSignal.cc:
     - do not print information for each pixel - it's too much.
     
   * mbase/MStatusDisplay.cc:
     - when reading a status display do not display tabs with
       the same name than one which is already existing.
       
   * mcalib/MCalibrate.cc:
     - directly store pointer to pixel when setting saturation flag
     
   * mcamera/MCameraDC.cc:
     - fixed some comments
     
   * mhist/MHCamEvent.cc:
     - fixed a crash when no geometry was available

   * mhist/MHCamera.[h,cc]:
     - removed obsolete member function SetPix

   * mbase/MStatusDisplay.[h,cc]:
     - added EventInfo member function
     - implemented preliminary redirection of GetObjectInfo to
       StatusLine2 -> An own status line for this is missing

   * manalysis/MExtractSignal.[h,cc]:
     - implemented StreamPrimitive
     - changed deafults to be static const data members
     
   * manalysis/MGeomApply.[h,cc]:
     - implemented StreamPrimitive

   * manalysis/MMcCalibrationUpdate.[h,cc] 
     - Added check to guarantee that the FADC simulation parameters of
       all read files (those used for calibration and those analyzed) 
       are the same.
     - Added missing support for analysis of stereo files.

   * mcalib/MMcCalibrationCalc.cc
     - Removed obsolete FIXME comment.

     - Added the temperature distribution of the optical links
       and the plots of the LV power supplies.
   * mcamera/MCameraLV.h
     - Added the "Get" functions to access the private data 
       members of the class.


 2004/01/22: Abelardo Moralejo

   * manalysis/MMcCalibrationUpdate.[h,cc]
     - Now ratio of high to low gain is taken from MCalibrationCam if
       it existed previously in the parameter list, instead of being
       read again from the MMcFadcHeader. Removed Setter function for
       fADC2PhInner, no longer necessary. Fixed error regarding the 
       pedestal conversion to photons (did not read conversion factor
       from preexisting MCalibrationCam object).

   * mcalib/MMcCalibrationCalc.cc
     - Changed parameters of the histogram, and also the quantity being 
       histogrammed. Check that input data come from a noiseless camera
       file before proceeding to do the calibration. Introduced lower
       size in cut for calibration. Now rhe calibration constant is not
       calculated from the mean of photons/ADC counts, but from the peak
       of the histogram.

   * macros/starmc.C
     - Introduced new scheme. Now there are two loops over two different
       sets of files. First loop calculates the calibration constants,
       second one does the analysis. Introduced comments. Now the 
       histogram used in the light calibration is written to the output
       file.

     mcalib/MCalibrationBlindPixel.[h,cc], 
     mcalib/MHCalibrationPixel.[h,cc], mcalib/MMcCalibrationCalc.[h,cc],
     mcalib/MHCalibrationBlindPixel.[h,cc], 
     mcalib/MHCalibrationPINDiode.[h,cc]:
     - cleaned up includes



 2004/01/22: Raquel de los Reyes

   * macros/CCDataCheck.C
     - macro to check the data from the central control (.rep files).



 2004/01/22: Markus Gaug

   * macros/calibration.C
     - made MStatusDisplay 3 bit smaller

   * manalysis/MExtractSignal.cc
     - put fSignals->SetUsedFADCSlices into PreProcess

   * manalysis/MPedCalcPedRun.cc
     - calculate PedRMS as RMS of the sums, later renormalized to units 
       of RMS/slice (eliminate the wrong effect of odd and even slices)

   * mcalib/MCalibrationCalc.cc
     - if bit SkipBlindPixelFit is set, now number of photons outside 
       plexiglass is not intended to be calculated any more (previous
       bug)
     - exclude excluded pixels in eventloop
        
   * mcalib/MHCalibrationBlindPixel.[h,cc]
     - move functions to pointer again (otherwise, Clone will give 
       strange results)



 2004/01/21: Abelardo Moralejo

   * mcalib/MMcCalibrationCalc.[h,cc]
     - Added. First version of the task intended to calculate the
       conversion factors from ADC counts to photons in the MC. It has
       a different aim than the recently renamed class 
       "MMcCalibrationUpdate" (which takes care that the correct 
       pedestals and conversion factors are supplied to each event, but 
       does not really calculate anything).

   * mcalib/Makefile, CalibLinkDef.h
     - Added new class MMcCalibrationCalc

   * manalysis/MMcCalibrationUpdate.[h,cc]
     - Now the container MCalibrationCam is not created or modified if
       it is found that one such container already exists in the 
       Parameter list (from a previous calibration).



 2004/01/21: Thomas Bretz

   * mraw/MRawRead.cc:
     - restore the fake time for all runs (current time stamp in
       the data seems to be toally nonsense)
 
   * mraw/MRawEvtHeader.cc:
     - removed decoding of real time (current time stamp in the data
       seems to be toally nonsense)



 2004/01/21: Abelardo Moralejo

   * mmc/MMcEvt.hxx
     - Uncommented 6 Getter functions (those regarding the number of 
       photons surviving the different stages of simulation).

   * manalysis/MMcCalibrationUpdate.[h,cc]
     - Added (see below).

   * manalysis/MMcCalibrationCalc.[h,cc]
     - Removed: changed name of this class to MMcCalibrationUpdate, 
       which is more representative of what it really does. Moved 
       the filling of the MCalibrationCam container from Process to 
       ReInit, since it does not change on an event by event basis.
       Simplified PreProcess (MCalibrationCam was searched for twice).
       Updated class description and comments.

   * manalysis/Makefile, AnalysisLinkDef.h
     - Adapted to change above

   * macros/starmc.C
     - Adapted to change above. Changed also task instance name from 
       mccalibcalc to mccalibupdate.

   * mreport/MReportCC.h, mreport/MReportTrigger.h, mcamera/MCameraHV.h 
     and mcamera/MCameraCalibration.h
     - Added the "Get" functions (e.g GetStatus() for fStatus) to access 
       the private data members of the class.



 2004/01/20: Thomas Hengstebeck

   * mranforest/MRanForestCalc.[h,cc]
     - Added member functions Grow (training of RF) and Fill (reading in
       trained forest from file) which simplify macros. 
       One just needs to call them instead of using MRanForestGrow and 
       MRanForestFill (and the related training and fill loops) in a
       macro.



 2004/01/20: Abelardo moralejo

   * manalysis/MMcCalibrationCalc.cc
     - removed call to MCalibrationPix::SetPedestal, which was not 
       needed.

    - Added call to SetDirecory(0) for histograms fHErrCharge, 
      fHPCharge, fHPTime.

  * manalysis/MCerPhotPix.h: 
    - Changed position of declaration of fIsSaturated to be the last 
      private variable. Otherwise, since in the constructor it is 
      initialized in the last place, a warning is displayed upon
      compilation in some systems.



 2004/01/20: Markus Gaug
  * mcalib/Makefile, manalysis/Makefile:
    - include directory ../mtools
 
  * mtools/MFFT.[h,cc]
    - class inherits from TObject now

       systems for unkown reasons. I replaced it by a safer (and may be 
       slower) code.
     - Added calpix.SetFitValid();

   * mhist/MHEvent.cc
     - In MHEvent::Fill, fixed: second parameter of SetCamContent must 
       be 1 in case of RMS:
        case kEvtPedestalRMS:
           fHist->SetCamContent(*(MCamEvent*)par, 1);

       Bug had no effect unless scale1 != scale2 (-> telescopes of 
       different size).



 2004/01/12: Markus Gaug

   * manalysis/MExtractSignal.[h,cc]
     - take out some uncommented code 
     - replace logainshift by two independent variables: 
       logainfirst, logainlast
     - because in most data, maximum occurs in slice 4, shift default 
       from slices 4-9 to slices 3-8.

   * manalysis/MExtractedSignalPix.[h,cc]
     - took out some uncommented code
     - new initializers: instead of -1. now 99999.9



 2004/01/09: Markus Gaug

   * mcalib/MCalibrationCam.[h,cc]
     - take out 1-dim histos because we can use 
       the projections in MHCamera (s.b.)

   * mcalib/MHCalibrationBlindPixel.h
     - make the fit by default quiet

   * mcalib/MHCalibrationPixel.[h,cc]
   * mcalib/MCalibrationPix.[h,cc]
     - Ranges of time slices stored independently for HiGain and LoGain
       in order to allow consecutive checks

   * mhist/MHCamera.[h.cc]
     - add the possibility to call a Draw("proj") which will 
       draw a Y-Projection of the histogram

   * macros/calibration.C
     - apply the drawing of the projections and fit them

   * mcalib/MCalibrationCalc.cc
     - catch the possibility of a calibration file, 
       unintendedly being a pedestal or cosmic file. 
       Program now exits with an error before doing the fits

   * mcalib/MCalibrationPix.[h,cc]
     - fixed a bug in calculation of fFitValid. 
       before, a call to IsFitValid() always returned false



 2004/01/09: Javier L¢pez

   * macros/bootcampstandardanalysis.C
     - added new macro that holds the main scheleton discussed in the 
       december bootcamp in Wuerzburg. It runs first over a pedestal
       run, then over a calibration run, again over the pedestal run
       to compute de pedestal in number of photons and finally over a
       data run to calibrate the data.



 2004/01/06: Sebastian Raducci
   
   * manalysis/MArrivalTime.[h,cc]
     - added new method to calculate photon arrival times. It uses the
       TSpline5 Root Class to interpolate the Fadc Slices. The time is
       the abscissa value of the absolute maximum of the interpolation
     - added new method to find clusters with similar arrival times.
       For now it's a preliminary version. It simply search for adiacent
       pixels having the same arrival time (color).

   * manalysis/MArrivalTimeCalc.[h,cc]
     - modified the Process() method according to the changes in the
       Arrival Time Cointainer

   * mmain/MEventDisplay.cc
     - added new tab in the camera event display to show the arrival
       time. This arrival time is calculated with the spline method
     - the old Arrival Time pad now it's called Max Slice Idx, because
       it's only the index of the slice with the max content.
   
   * mhist/MHEvent.[h,cc]
     - added new fType in te enumeration to handle the arrival time
       histos
