3
4 - added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is displayed.
5 The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
6 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
7 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
8 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
9 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
10
11 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
12 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
13
14 - added new histograms for image parameters versus size (MHVsSize)
15
16 - support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
17 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
18 (MCameraCentralPixel)
19
20 - fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit pattern.
21 Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
22 intensity has been updated in some cases)
23
24 - add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over calibration
25 runs since some of the recent calibration runs have been taken
26 with Pin Diode.
27
28 - Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image files.
29 (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
30
31 - ganymed (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
32 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
33 MJSpectrum (sponde)
34
35 - added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941, 39943, 44833
36 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
37
38 - MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has been set to
39 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
40
41 - ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes, because
42 ProcessFile is missleading
43
44 - support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes (use
45 the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
46
47 - fixed a bug in MExtractTimeAndchargeSpline which could cause
48 different results with different compiler optimiztaion options
49 due to rounding errors.
50
51 - MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
52 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
53
54 - ganymed got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
55 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
56 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
57 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
58
59 - Improved support for printing in status display:
60 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
61 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
62 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
63 can be canged
64
65 - improved sholog such that it handles different verbosity levels
66 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
67 using showlog.
68
69 - improved showplot
70 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
71 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
72 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
73 the printing command from the command line you can use all
74 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
75 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
76 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
77 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
78
79 - The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
80
81 - new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have been
82 introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded, kDeadPedestalRms,
83 kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
84
85 - the calibration now does a consistency check of the arrival time
86
87 - the charge timit in the calibration has been raised from 2.5 to 4.5
88
89 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
90 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNuMEventsDump
91 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
92 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
93
94
95
96 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
97
98 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
99 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
100 by 0.2 slices)
101
102 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
103 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
104
105 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
106 also done with a intercalibration input file
107
108 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
109
110 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
111
112 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
113
114 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
115
116 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
117
118 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
119
120 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
121

126
127 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
128 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
129
130 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
131 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
132
133 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
134 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
135
136 - update the reference lines for the december data
137
138 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
139 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
140 pulse position changes much.
141
142 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
143 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
144 signals lower than 90 phes.
145
146 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
147 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
148 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
149 runs a lot.
150
151 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
152 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
153
154 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
155 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
156 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
157 than with old versions (wrong units))
158
159 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
160 formats are still unsupported by root)
161
162 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
163 for automatic processing
164
165

215 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
216
217 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
218 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
219 the slices by statistics
220 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
221 signal extractor without randomization
222 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
223 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
224 randomly fixed)
225 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
226 long as nobody really needs it:
227 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
228 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization

715 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
716 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
717 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
718
719 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
720 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
721
722 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
723 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)

746
747 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
748
749 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
750 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
751 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
752 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
753
754 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
755 for the collection area calculation
756
757 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
758 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
759
760 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
761 of one container
762
763 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
764 ascii file
765
766 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
767 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
768 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
769 hillas parameters)
770
771 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
772 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
773 see MHillas and MHillasExt
774
775 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
776 see MHillasSrc
777
778 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning

792 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
793
794 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules

803 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
804 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
805
806 - Added:
807 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
808 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
809 they are needed in the flux calculation in
810 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
811 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
812 of Theta and the true energy
813
814 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
815 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
816 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
817 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
818 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
819 by unfolding
820

855 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
856 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
857
858 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
859 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and

884 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
885
886 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
