2
3 *** Version 0.9
4
5 - added pedstal calculation
6
7 - implemented "democratic cleaning" (cut value proportional to square
8 root of pixel area) according to Wolfgang's suggestion.
9
10
11
12 *** Version 0.8 (2002/11/18)
13
14 - added all subdirectories as Include-Paths for ACLIC (s. rootlogon.C)
15
16 - corrected 48(!) wrong entries in the Next Neighbor table of the
17 Magic Camera (all in the inner part of the outer ring, mostly
18 missing a single NN)
19
20 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
21 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
22 have any neighbour)
23
24 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
25 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
26 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
27 please ask Abelardo)
28
29 - added MHHadronness (and MHadronness) as a general facility to evaluate
30 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
31
32 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
33
34 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
35 must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and
36 MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumns. Be carefull, the arguments have slightly
37 changed.
38
39 - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
40 (MHMatrix)
41
42 - implemented the one dimensional composite probabilities
43 (MHCompProb, MCompProbCalc, comprob.C)
44
45 - implemented the Multidimensional Distances (Next Neighbours, Kernel)
46 (MMultiDimDistCalc, multidimdist.C, multidimdist2.C, MHMatrix)
47
48 - Added a camera display displaying the pixel numbers to the
49 event display gui.
50
51 - Added Monte Carlo Informations to event display gui
52
53 - Changed the camera display to display the pixel numbering
54
55 - Added three buttons to the camera display to change the palette
56
57 - Added the number of used and core pixels after image cleaning
58 to MHillas
59
60 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillas according to TDAS 02-03
61
62 - Changed the Alpha range according to TDAS 02-03 to [-90°,90°]
63
64 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillasSrc according to TDAS 02-03
65
66 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
67
68 - The numbers of photons used to calculate fConc and fConc1 in
69 MHillasExt are now scaled with the pixel size, so that one get
70 a four times smaller value for the bigger pixels in the outer ring.
71
72 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
73
74 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
75 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
76
77 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
78 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
79 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
80 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
81 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
82
83 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
84 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
85
86 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
87 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
88
89 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
90 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
91
92 - Introduced more output to the camera displays
93
94 - Added an array of histograms (eg one hist per run), MHArray
95
96 - Added a _preliminary_ version of the reader for CT1 PreProc files
97 (MCT1ReadPreProc)
98
99 - Fixed the error calculation of MHMCollectionArea and MHMcIntRate
100 (thanks to Raquel)
101
102 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
103 estfit.C) using a parametrization
104
105 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
106 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
107 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
108
109
110
111 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
112
113 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
114 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
115 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
116 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
117
118 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
119 for the collection area calculation
120
121 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
122 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
123
124 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
125 of one container
126
127 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
128 ascii file
129
130 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
131 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
132 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
133 hillas parameters)
134
135 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
136 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
137 see MHillas and MHillasExt
138
139 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
140 see MHillasSrc
141
142 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
143 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
144 all histograms)
145
146 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
147
148 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
149
150 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
151
152 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
153 an output stream instead of the whole container only
154
155 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
156 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
157
158 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
159 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
160
161 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
162 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
163
164 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
165
166 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
167 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
168 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
169
170 - Added:
171 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
172 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
173 they are needed in the flux calculation in
174 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
175 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
176 of Theta and the true energy
177
178 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
179 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
180 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
181 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
182 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
183 by unfolding
184
185 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
186
187

192 MBlindPixelCalc) for the analysis (eg MHillasCalc) to be
193 able to deal with Star Field NSB.
194
195 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
196
197 - Introduced verbosity levels
198
199 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.

205 and NSB (MMcPedestalNSB)
206
207 - Corrected treatment of the electronic noise (MMcPedestalCopy)
208
209 - Introduced MMcRunHeaders which contains monte carlo run informations
210
211 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
212 of a parameter container for each event
213
214 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
215
216 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
217
218 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
219 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
220 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
221
222 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
223 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
224 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
225
226

246
247 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
248 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
249
250 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
251 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
252 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
253
254 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
255 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
256
257 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
258 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
