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 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
55 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
56
57 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
58 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
59 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
60 than with old versions (wrong units))
61
62
63

112 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
113
114 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
115 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
116 the slices by statistics
117 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
118 signal extractor without randomization
119 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
120 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
121 randomly fixed)
122 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
123 long as nobody really needs it:
124 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
125 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
126
127 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically

147 accurate now
148
149 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
150 MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix
151 * the new implementation is faster and
152 * needs less storage space
153
154 - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the
155 whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)

597 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillasSrc according to TDAS 02-03
598
599 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
600
601 - The numbers of photons used to calculate fConc and fConc1 in
602 MHillasExt are now scaled with the pixel size, so that one get
603 a four times smaller value for the bigger pixels in the outer ring.
604
605 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
606
607 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
608 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
609
610 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
611 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
612 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
613 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
614 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
615
616 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
617 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
618
619 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
620 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
621
622 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
623 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
624
625 - Introduced more output to the camera displays
626
627 - Added an array of histograms (eg one hist per run), MHArray
628
629 - Added a _preliminary_ version of the reader for CT1 PreProc files
630 (MCT1ReadPreProc)
631
632 - Fixed the error calculation of MHMCollectionArea and MHMcIntRate
633 (thanks to Raquel)
634
635 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
636 estfit.C) using a parametrization
637
638 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
639 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
640 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
641
642
643
644 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
645
646 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
647 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
648 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
649 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
650
651 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
652 for the collection area calculation
653
654 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
655 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
656
657 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
658 of one container
659
660 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
661 ascii file
662
663 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
664 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
665 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
666 hillas parameters)
667
668 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
669 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
670 see MHillas and MHillasExt
671
672 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
673 see MHillasSrc
674
675 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
676 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
677 all histograms)
678
679 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
680
681 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
682
683 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
684
685 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
686 an output stream instead of the whole container only
687
688 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
689 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
690
691 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
692 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
693
694 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
695 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
696
697 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
698

700 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
701 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
702
703 - Added:
704 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
705 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
706 they are needed in the flux calculation in
707 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
708 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
709 of Theta and the true energy
710
711 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
712 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
713 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
714 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
715 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
716 by unfolding
717
718 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
719
720

745 of a parameter container for each event
746
747 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
748
749 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
750
751 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
752 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
753 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
754
755 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
756 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
757 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.

781 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
782
783 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
784 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
785 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.

787 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
788 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
789
790 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
791 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
