3
4
5 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
6 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
7 by 0.2 slices)
8
9 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
10 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
11
12 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
13 also done with a intercalibration input file
14
15 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
16
17 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
18
19 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
20
21 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
22
23 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
24
25 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
26
27 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
28 which is more than 5 times the variance
29
30 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
31
32 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
33 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
34
35 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
36 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
37
38 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
39 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
40
41 - update the reference lines for the december data
42
43 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
44 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
45 pulse position changes much.
46
47 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
48 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
49 signals lower than 90 phes.
50
51 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
52 Jan and Dec.
53
54

104 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
105
106 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
107 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
108 the slices by statistics
109 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
110 signal extractor without randomization
111 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
112 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
113 randomly fixed)
114 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
115 long as nobody really needs it:
116 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
117 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
118
119 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
120
121 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
122 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to

143 * the new implementation is faster and
144 * needs less storage space
145
146 - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the
147 whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)
148

597 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
598
599 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
600 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
601
602 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
603 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
604 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
605 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
606 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
607
608 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
609 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
610
611 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
612 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
613
614 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
615 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
616
617 - Introduced more output to the camera displays
618
619 - Added an array of histograms (eg one hist per run), MHArray
620
621 - Added a _preliminary_ version of the reader for CT1 PreProc files
622 (MCT1ReadPreProc)
623
624 - Fixed the error calculation of MHMCollectionArea and MHMcIntRate
625 (thanks to Raquel)
626
627 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
628 estfit.C) using a parametrization
629
630 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
631 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
632 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
633
634
635
636 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
637
638 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
639 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
640 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
641 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
642
643 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
644 for the collection area calculation
645
646 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
647 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
648
649 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
650 of one container
651
652 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
653 ascii file
654
655 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
656 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
657 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
658 hillas parameters)
659
660 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
661 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
662 see MHillas and MHillasExt
663
664 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
665 see MHillasSrc
666
667 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
668 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
669 all histograms)
670
671 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
672
673 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
674
675 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
676
677 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
678 an output stream instead of the whole container only
679
680 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
681 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
682
683 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
684 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
685
686 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
687 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
688
689 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
690
691 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
692 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
693 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
694
695 - Added:
696 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
697 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
698 they are needed in the flux calculation in
699 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
700 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
701 of Theta and the true energy
702
703 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
704 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
705 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
706 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
707 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
708 by unfolding
709
710 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
711
712

735
736 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
737 of a parameter container for each event
738
739 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
740
741 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
742
743 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
744 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
745 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
746
747 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
748 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
749 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
750

772 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
773 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
774
775 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
776 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
777 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
778
779 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
780 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
781
782 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
783 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
784
