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 - ganymed (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
25 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
26 MJSpectrum (sponde)
27
28
29
30 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
31
32 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
33 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
34 by 0.2 slices)
35
36 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
37 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
38
39 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
40 also done with a intercalibration input file
41
42 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
43
44 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
45
46 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
47
48 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
49
50 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
51
52 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
53
54 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
55
56 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
57 which is more than 5 times the variance
58
59 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
60
61 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
62 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
63
64 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
65 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
66
67 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
68 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
69
70 - update the reference lines for the december data
71
72 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
73 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
74 pulse position changes much.
75
76 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
77 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
78 signals lower than 90 phes.
79
80 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
81 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.

83 runs a lot.
84
85 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
86 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
87
88 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
89 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
90 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
91 than with old versions (wrong units))
92
93 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
94 formats are still unsupported by root)
95
96 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
97 for automatic processing
98
99

149 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
150
151 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
152 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
153 the slices by statistics
154 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
155 signal extractor without randomization
156 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted

158 randomly fixed)
159 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
160 long as nobody really needs it:
161 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
162 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization

591 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
592 have any neighbour)
593
594 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
595 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
596 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
597 please ask Abelardo)
598
599 - added MHHadronness (and MHadronness) as a general facility to evaluate
600 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
601
602 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
603
604 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule

643
644 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
645 instead of removing it completely from the analysis

648 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
649 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
650 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
651 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
652

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

716 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
717
718 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
719

726 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
727
728 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
729 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
730
731 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
732 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency

737 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
738 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
739
740 - Added:
741 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
742 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
743 they are needed in the flux calculation in
744 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
745 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
746 of Theta and the true energy
747
748 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
749 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
750 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
751 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
752 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
753 by unfolding
754
755 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.

786 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
787
788 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
789 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
790 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
791
792 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
793 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
794 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
