2 *** Version <cvs>
3
4 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
5 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
6
7 - added new histograms for image parameters versus size (MHVsSize)
8
9 - support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
10 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
11 (MCameraCentralPixel)
12
13 - fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit pattern.
14 Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
15 intensity has been updated in some cases)
16
17 - add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over calibration
18 runs since some of the recent calibration runs have been taken
19 with Pin Diode.
20
21
22
23 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
24
25 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
26 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
27 by 0.2 slices)
28
29 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
30 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
31
32 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
33 also done with a intercalibration input file
34
35 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
36
37 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
38
39 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
40
41 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
42
43 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
44
45 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
46
47 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
48
49 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
50 which is more than 5 times the variance
51
52 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
53
54 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
55 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
56
57 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
58 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
59
60 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
61 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
62
63 - update the reference lines for the december data
64
65 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
66 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
67 pulse position changes much.
68
69 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
70 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
71 signals lower than 90 phes.
72
73 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
74 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
75 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
76 runs a lot.
77
78 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
79 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
80
81 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
82 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
83 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
84 than with old versions (wrong units))
85
86 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
87 formats are still unsupported by root)
88
89 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
90 for automatic processing
91
92

142 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
143
144 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
145 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
146 the slices by statistics
147 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
148 signal extractor without randomization
149 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
150 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
151 randomly fixed)
152 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
153 long as nobody really needs it:
154 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
155 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization

544 - added a new status display which can show the present status
545 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
546 an example can be found at status.C)
547
548 - reorganized directories:
549 classes describing the image --> mimage

584 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
585 have any neighbour)
586
587 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from

597 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
598 must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and
599 MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumns. Be carefull, the arguments have slightly
600 changed.

636
637 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
638 instead of removing it completely from the analysis

641 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
642 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
643 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
644 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
645

673
674 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
675
676 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
677 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
678 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
679 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
680
681 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
682 for the collection area calculation
683
684 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
685 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
686
687 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
688 of one container
689
690 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
691 ascii file
692
693 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
694 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
695 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
696 hillas parameters)
697
698 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
699 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
700 see MHillas and MHillasExt
701
702 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
703 see MHillasSrc
704
705 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
706 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
707 all histograms)
708
709 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
710
711 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
712
713 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)

716 an output stream instead of the whole container only
717
718 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
719 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
720
721 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
722 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
723
724 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
725 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency

730 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
731 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
732
733 - Added:
734 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
735 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
736 they are needed in the flux calculation in
737 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
738 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
739 of Theta and the true energy
740
741 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
742 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
743 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
744 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
745 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
746 by unfolding
747
748 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.

778
779 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
780
781 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
782 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
783 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
784
785 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
786 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
787 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.

811 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
812
813 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
