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 - Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image files.
22 (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
23
24
25
26 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
27
28 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
29 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
30 by 0.2 slices)
31
32 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
33 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
34
35 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
36 also done with a intercalibration input file
37
38 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
39
40 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
41
42 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
43
44 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
45
46 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
47
48 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
49
50 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
51
52 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
53 which is more than 5 times the variance
54
55 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
56
57 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
58 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
59
60 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
61 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
62
63 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
64 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
65
66 - update the reference lines for the december data
67
68 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
69 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
70 pulse position changes much.
71
72 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
73 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
74 signals lower than 90 phes.
75
76 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
77 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.

79 runs a lot.
80
81 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
82 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
83
84 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
85 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
86 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
87 than with old versions (wrong units))
88
89 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
90 formats are still unsupported by root)
91
92 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
93 for automatic processing
94
95

144
145 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
146
147 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
148 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
149 the slices by statistics
150 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
151 signal extractor without randomization
152 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
153 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
154 randomly fixed)
155 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
156 long as nobody really needs it:
157 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
158 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
159

547 - added a new status display which can show the present status
548 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
549 an example can be found at status.C)
550
551 - reorganized directories:
552 classes describing the image --> mimage

584 missing a single NN)
585
586 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
587 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
588 have any neighbour)
589
590 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
591 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
592 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
593 please ask Abelardo)

680 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
681 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
682 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
683
684 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
685 for the collection area calculation
686
687 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
688 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
689
690 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
691 of one container
692
693 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
694 ascii file
695
696 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
697 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
698 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
699 hillas parameters)
700
701 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
702 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
703 see MHillas and MHillasExt
704
705 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
706 see MHillasSrc
707
708 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
709 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
710 all histograms)
711
712 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
713
714 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
715

722 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
723
724 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
725 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");

733 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
734 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
735
736 - Added:
737 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
738 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
739 they are needed in the flux calculation in
740 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
741 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
742 of Theta and the true energy
743
744 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
745 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
746 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
747 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
748 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
749 by unfolding
750
751 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.

784 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
785 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
786 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
787
788 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
789 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
