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 - added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941, 39943, 44833
29 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
30
31 - MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has been set to
32 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
33
34 - ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes, because
35 ProcessFile is missleading
36
37 - support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes (use
38 the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
39
40 - added muon support to star
41
42
43
44 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
45
46 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
47 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
48 by 0.2 slices)
49
50 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
51 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
52
53 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
54 also done with a intercalibration input file
55
56 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
57
58 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
59
60 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
61
62 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
63
64 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
65
66 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
67
68 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
69
70 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
71 which is more than 5 times the variance
72
73 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
74
75 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
76 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
77
78 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
79 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
80
81 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
82 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
83
84 - update the reference lines for the december data
85
86 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
87 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
88 pulse position changes much.
89
90 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
91 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
92 signals lower than 90 phes.
93
94 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
95 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
96 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
97 runs a lot.
98
99 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
100 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
101
102 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
103 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
104 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
105 than with old versions (wrong units))
106
107 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
108 formats are still unsupported by root)
109
110 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
111 for automatic processing
112

164
165 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
166 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
167 the slices by statistics
168 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
169 signal extractor without randomization
170 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
171 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
172 randomly fixed)
173 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
174 long as nobody really needs it:
175 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):

596 *** Version 0.8 (2002/11/18)
597
598 - added all subdirectories as Include-Paths for ACLIC (s. rootlogon.C)
599
600 - corrected 48(!) wrong entries in the Next Neighbor table of the
601 Magic Camera (all in the inner part of the outer ring, mostly
602 missing a single NN)
603
604 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
605 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
606 have any neighbour)
607
608 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
609 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
610 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
611 please ask Abelardo)
612
613 - added MHHadronness (and MHadronness) as a general facility to evaluate
614 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
615
616 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
617
618 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
619 must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and
620 MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumns. Be carefull, the arguments have slightly
621 changed.
622
623 - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
624 (MHMatrix)
625
626 - implemented the one dimensional composite probabilities
627 (MHCompProb, MCompProbCalc, comprob.C)

647
648 - Changed the algorithm used in MHillasSrc according to TDAS 02-03
649
650 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
651
652 - The numbers of photons used to calculate fConc and fConc1 in
653 MHillasExt are now scaled with the pixel size, so that one get
654 a four times smaller value for the bigger pixels in the outer ring.
655
656 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
657
658 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
659 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
660
661 - Implemented the possibility to save the whole eventloop with
662 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
663 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
664 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
665 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
666
667 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
668 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
669
670 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
671 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
672
673 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
674 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
675
676 - Introduced more output to the camera displays
677
678 - Added an array of histograms (eg one hist per run), MHArray

684 (thanks to Raquel)
685
686 - added the first energy estimator (MEnergyEstParam, estimate.C,
687 estfit.C) using a parametrization
688
689 - Added some new Monte Carlo paremeter containers used to store
690 setup information from the MC chain (MMcConfigRunHeader,
691 MMcCorsikaRunHeader, MGeomPMT, MGeomMirror)
692
693
694
695 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
696
697 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
698 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
699 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
700 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
701
702 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
703 for the collection area calculation
704
705 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
706 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
707
708 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
709 of one container
710
711 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
712 ascii file
713
714 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
715 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
716 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
717 hillas parameters)
718
719 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
720 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
721 see MHillas and MHillasExt
722
723 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
724 see MHillasSrc
725
726 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
727 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
728 all histograms)
729
730 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
731
732 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
733
734 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)
735
736 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
737 an output stream instead of the whole container only
738
739 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
740 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
741
742 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
743 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
744
745 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
746 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
747
748 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
749
750 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
751 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
752 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
753
754 - Added:
755 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
756 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
757 they are needed in the flux calculation in
758 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
759 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
760 of Theta and the true energy
761
762 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
763 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
764 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
765 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
766 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
767 by unfolding
768
769 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
770

779 - Fixed a bug in the pedestals substraction
780
781 - Introduced verbosity levels
782
783 - Introduced a task (MReadMarsFile) which reads the RunHeader tree, too.

794
795 - Added a 'Print'-Task (MPrint) which calls the Print function
796 of a parameter container for each event
797
798 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
799
800 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
801
802 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
803 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
804 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
805
806 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
807 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
808 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
809

830
831 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
832 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
833
834 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
835 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
836 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
837
838 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
839 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
840
841 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
