-*-*- END -*-*- *** Version *** Version 0.9.6 (2006/05/24) - general: changed the binning of the azimuthal profile of the camera such that it is aligned with the 60deg boundaries. - merpp: better handling of problems with the TH, TD part of the CC-REPORT for files older than 200507190 and 200412210 respectively - merpp: improved handling of RECEIVERS-COM-ERROR in CC-REPORT - merpp: implementd latest changes in starguider reports (sinc 9th May) - callisto: if an arrival time is extracted outside the fadc range is was set to the boundary before. Now a random number is assigned instead to avoid unfortunate coincidences of arrival times just by this arbitrary value. - callisto: added a new option to callisto.rc which allows to set the maximum arrival time difference allowed for the badpixel algorithm to determin whether a pixels belongs to a shower: MJCalibrateSignal.MBadPixelsTreat.MaxArrivalTimeDiff: 0.9 - callisto: changed the old value (0.5) for MaxArrivalTimeDiff to 0.9 as suggested by Stefan due to a recent study on the fraction of pixels surviving the image cleaning - callisto: switched off error in case of "pulse is too much to the left" - callisto: The extraction window is not adapted anymore. This means that the pulse is extracted from the full range. The draw-back is that the background (pedestal) will become slightly higher. Switching on/off the PulsePosCheck in the callisto.rc only effects filling the histograms. WARNING: If the pulse is too much to the left data is calibrated! Check the PulsePosCheck-PulsePosition AND the Inhomogeneity parameter in the database to make sure that your data is valid! - star: Show also the number of stars correlated correctly by the starguider - ganymed: implemented a new class (MHThetaSqN) which allows to use more than one off-source region in wobble-mode. To use it add the following to your ganymed_wobble.rc: + MJCut.NameHist: MHThetaSqN (switch the new feature on) + MHThetaSqN.NumOffSourcePos: 3 (define number of off-regions) + MHThetaSqN.DoOffCut: Yes,No (switch on/off the off-cut) + Cut1.ThetaCut: None + MHThetaSqN.SignificanceCutLevel: 2.0 (increase off-cut by 2.0/1.7) - ganymed: in the case the latest report is older than a default (currently one minute) and the current report will be skip the starguider correction and calibration will be reset. The maximum age can be setup from ganymed.rc by (minutes): MPointingDevCalc.MaxAge: 1.5 - ganymed: A first implementation showing all size-bins for the theta-sq resp. alpha-plots in a single tab automatically *** Version 0.9.5.1 (2006/05/05) - general: Added a new option "zdiff" to the Makefile which runs "cvs diff" as "make diff" would do, but with compression - general: accelerated MTFillMatrix (used for eample in all training and optimization macros) by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20% - general: Added a missing feature in the MFilterList class which prevented MFEnergySlope from working correctly in trainenergy.C - general: Accelerated the random forest training and usage a bit - merpp: Adapted to new raw data file format version 6 - merpp: fixed a problem with reading the starguider reports after 6.3.2006 - callisto: At some times six pixels had to be exchanged manually in the data. If the pixels to be swaped are both not found, an error was raised and calibration was stopped. Now it is assumed they are intentially not mapped and the Error has been changed to a Warning. - star: Added new image cleaning based on the arrival time of the shower. The new cleaning can be accessed using the parameter "Time" instead of the the old one (like "Absolute) in the star.rc-file. Recommended parameters: + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel1: 8.2 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel2: 5 + MImgCleanStd.CleanRings: 2 + MImgCleanStd.KeepSinglePixels: No - star: Simplified the calculation of the effective on time. By letting the fit start in the third bin the result should become more stable. The fit quality is now ignored for the theta-plot which is not used in the analysis later. Still better pre-cut which, for example, remove events triggered by car-light (rate changing on a short time-scale) are missing. - macros: optimonoff.C, optimwobble.C: implemented a new strategy for optimization (kWeakSource) which is suggested by the Berlin people for weak sources. - macros: plotdb.C: + if no dataset and no time-interval is given only sequences with an effective on-time above five minutes are plotted anymore + added a new tab "RelTime" displaying the relative on-time (effective on-time divided by the observation time) - macros: optim*.C: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the optimization became a lot faster - ganymed: In the second loop the MHNewImagePar histograms disapeared. To display them just delete the pads displayed on top. - ganymed: fixed a bug which could cause strange behaviour in wobble mode if no starguider information was available due to an incorrect initialization of the starguider calibration - ganymed: The scale region in the False Source Plot (MHDisp) can now be changed from within the plot. It can also be setup from the resource file using: + MHDisp.fScaleMin: 0.325 + MHDisp.fScaleMax: 0.475 - ganymed, showplot: Fixed a problem with the fit to the off-data (HistOff) which could cause a time lag or an inifinite loop. The bug did not effect the results at all. - sponde: Added a new tab showing the effective collection area after trigger (including the software trigger) - sponde: MMcSpectrumWeight has a new option which allows to define the scaling factor not by the integral of the events but at a defined energy: e.g. MMcSpectrumWeight.NormEnergy: 200 - MTFillMatrix, sponde: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloops the loop could be accelerated by ~20% *** Version 0.9.5 (2006/03/13) - macros: fixed a typo optimwoble.C (SetThetaCut instead SetAlphaCut) and added the standard Disp-parametrization - macros: added a new macro datacenter/macros/plotstat.C allowing to plot statistics about the data processing - macros: added a new macro to plot the muon correction coefficients versus period (macros/plot/mucal.C) - showplot: path inflation for ganymed files was broken - callisto: Fixed an important bug. When the number of saturating pixels were calculated the bad pixel information already available from the calibration was ignored. This yields wrong values in case pixels are broken and saturate all the time or randomly. - callisto: Updated Muon calibration constants. Spline data now also uses different values for different periods - star: The time-evolution shown in the effective on-time plot now displays the axis range (if there are no holes it should be similar to the effective on-time) - star: Added two new image parameters: + MNewImagePar.fConcCOG: The ratio of the equivalent signals of the three pixels next to the center of gravity and the size + MNewImagePar.fConcCore: The ratio of the signals of all pixels inside or touching the ellipse and the size - ganymed: now stops in requested source isn't found in catalog file - ganymed: Many improvements to the phi-plot in wobble mode: + with a template the ideal background is displayed + a possible camera inhomogeneity is taken into account + the anti theta cut is better supported + the phi cut is automatically calculated from the theta cut See the examples in ganymed_wobble.rc for more details. - ganymed: fixed plot for E^2*dN/dE. The spectrum was multiplied with two times the bin-width instead of the absolute energy - ganymed: New cuts for on/off and wobble mode - ganymed: The smearing of the False Source plot has been increased to 0.06 - ganymed: The starguider calibration can now be changed from the resource file. See the examples in ganymed*.rc for more details. - ganymed: added a new option for on-/off-observations MJCut.RandomSourcePosition If switched on the distribution of observation time of the source position in the camera is calculated from the on-data and randomly applied with this distrbution to the off-data. - ganymed: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20% - ganymed: The default in ganymed_onoff.rc is now to determin the source position in the off-data randomly according to its distribution in the on-data. *** Version 0.9.4.3 (2006/02/13) - general: Fixed a bug in most of the programs which prevented the compile date in the startup message to be displayed - general: Simplified program calls. The following abbreviations are now possible: showlog callisto 55599 showplot signal 55599 star 55599 callisto 55999 ganymed 2 In this cases the corrsponding root-, log-, sequence- or dataset- filename is automatically compiled using the default datacenter paths ("/magic/*") - general: Fixed a long outstanding bug which made axis tick marks disappear if MDataFormula was used (eg. abs(x)) - general: Updated MMath with new functions to calculate the results of a exponential, logarithmic and powerlaw fits analytically. - general: Updated some macros with comments: + macros/optim/optimdisp.C + macros/optim/optimenergy.C + macros/optim/optimwobble.C: - general: MTFillMatrix (the class to fill one or two MHMatrix from files) now allows adding a pre-cut like in the optimization. E.g. this is useful to perform g/h-separation cuts before training the random forest. - general: Between the rund 53300 and 68754 the pixels 553-558 were not correctly assigned in the raw data assignement table. A fix to correct the assignment tabel have been implemented. - general: MAstroCatalog now allows rotating of the sky-grid and stars by 90, 180 and 270 deg. - general: the macro plotdb.C now allows to highlight sequences belonging to a datset. For more details see the descritions in the macro. - StatusDisplay: Fixed the algorithm to calculate the size ratio of the display, it gave wrong results espacially for big sizes. Now the embedded canvas should always have a ratio width/height=3/2. The "Size" options have been updated with values fitting the 3/2 size ratio. - RanForest: + Updated the random forest classes to support also the regression method implemented by Thomas H. + added new tutorial macro how to train the random forest for energy estimation (macros/optim/rfenergyest.C) + new classes to train the random forest (still in development) mjtrain/MJTrainEnergy, mjtrain/MJTrainDisp, mjtrain/MJTrainSeparation + new tutorial macros for random forest training in macros/train trainenergy.C, traindisp.C, trainseparation.C - mars: now allows to setup a cut in the resource file mars.rc to choose the events to be displayed, eg: Cut.Condition: {0} && {1} Cut.0: MHillas.fSize>100 Cut.1: MHillas.fSize<900 - merpp: Made aware of the new .rep format 200510250. This includes interpretation of the Receiver Board Temperatures (MCameraRecTemp), the discriminator thresholds (MCameraTD) and the disciminator delays (MCameraTD). All of them come with the CC report and are therefor written to the CC tree. - callisto: fixed a bug in the calculation of the arrival times in the Digital Filter. They were all shifted by the same amount fHiGainFirst. This caused an offset in the order of the position of the left border of the extraction window in the times calculated from high-gain and from low-gain. The bug effected only the absolute arrival times. The bug was there since 30.1.2005. - callisto: Changed the ExtractionWindow for the pulse position check such that the camera inhomogeneity becomes as less as possible and comparable to the pulso position check switched off. More details on the study will be given at our result web-page. - ganymed: ganymed.rc, ganymed_onoff.rc: changed to new cuts trained with 1ES1218 and Crab-data for maximum sigma*log10(excess) - ganymed: In addition to the Hadronness calculator (CalcHadronness) a new option was implemented to estimate Disp (CalcDisp) - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files --ins=/magic/sequences and where to search for the image data --ind=/magic/data/star - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing dx/dy from the resource file by MSrcPosCorrect.Dx MSrcPosCorrect.Dy - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars as the requested source name had were compared (If a source "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304" were requested it could happen that the coordinates of "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed in addition to its name to the logging output. - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement for on-only analysis' - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy- bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17) - sponde: Added a plot E^2*dN/dE - sponde: The energy estimator plot should now show values like they are commonly used. - sponde: Now MMcSpectrumWeight also excepts formulas with two X (a powerlaw with cutoff didn't work before) *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01) - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C: how to calculate the threshold - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino and MagicReversi) - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new resource file resources/calibration.rc - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the automatic processing - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken) - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal. By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can be supressed. - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated) got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed. (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning algorithm) - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly) 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm). (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects the first seconds of data of each sequence. - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation of the parameters could be made independant of the noise (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully understood. - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case, because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they are sorted by their sequence number. - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed. *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18) - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled # histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely. - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast. - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode. Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results. *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05) - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the MC binning - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in April (MSrcPosCorrect) - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading of the subsystem data - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset. - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo. It gave wrong results by 1./2pi - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available - mars: show muon parameters graphically - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline argument - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file (MCameraHV). - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070) - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context menu, eg in the TBrowser - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline) - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter) This is important mainly for timing studies. - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst) - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast) - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst) - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast) Introduced new limits: - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special for Monte Carlo calibrations. - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05) - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable. This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough to make the distribution reliable. - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now, the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices saturated and produced wrong limits. - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc: + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration, the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where a good precision is needed. - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly). - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain changes. - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data as calculated by MPedestalY2 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is calculated from interleaved events - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another task - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean DC currents - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean Pedestal Rms - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf became pedestal rms dependant - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/ - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in May/April 05 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable: ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function: The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor sqrt(2) to large - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp and a background model determined in the first loop is subtracted - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped. - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is already determined by the third moment along the major axis and so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower. - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account when calculating the source position. This is especially important for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data. - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch it off add MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1 to your ganymed.rc - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use... - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03) - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should have no influence on compatibility with older camera files - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree) before any other tree. - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated correctly. - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of the run stored in the runheader. - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter) now changes the filename for new weights automatically for cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors. - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored. Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc. - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is explicitly set also for pretty new runs - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1) to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor is fixed to 1 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit more accurate now - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into account - not only kUnsuitableRun - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2. This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg arrival times) are calculated more accuratly. - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image cleaning around them (Markus G.) - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has suggested that different extractors give slightly different absolute results after calibration, due to there different handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated). There for correction factors have been introduced which correct the calibration constants by 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc) and 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc) calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample. The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc) - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results on the screen. The output and all following programs not directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event is read and Processed before the first data event was read. - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard false source plot with a different one. For example: If you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource: NameHistFS: MHDisp For details about the requirements of these plots look at the corresponding classes - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For more details see the class description and sponde.rc - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut normalization is normally wrong. *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20) - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist) - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead) - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes, because ProcessFile is missleading - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded, kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file versions newer than V200404070 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel (MCameraCentralPixel) - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size (MHVsSize) - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics - Status Display: Improved support for printing: + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see MStatusDisplay::PrintPS) + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line can be canged - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when using showlog. - showplot: improved + The new graphics formats have been implemented (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm) + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change the printing command from the command line you can use all the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call: showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the intensity has been updated in some cases) - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have been taken with Pin Diode. - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941, 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet) - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time of the cosmisc - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised from 2.5 to 4.5 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor: + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right. + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different results on different platform or with different compiler options: The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties exspecially if multiplied with large numbers) + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course they are a lot slower) ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to random memory access it might by completely random! - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter: + extraction range in the high gain to 4. + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat - callisto: + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times. + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes": Default: -9.0 +4.5 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings). - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change to a real profile in MHCamera broke it. - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels. Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics" (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv) - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter. - callisto: for the common extractors + MExtractFixedWindow * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain and fResolutionPerPheLoGain - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root, hilocalib_df6.root - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10% too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline and more than 40% for the sliding window. The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.) - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc - star: The weather data is now displayed in star - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are changed only minimally - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in MJSpectrum (sponde) - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta. Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14) - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted by 0.2 slices) - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts) - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now also done with a intercalibration input file - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level which is more than 5 times the variance - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center - Fixed handling of drive data.
