5 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
6
7 - added new histograms for image parameters versus size (MHVsSize)
8

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 - fixed a bug in MExtractTimeAndchargeSpline which could cause
43 different results with different compiler optimiztaion options
44 due to rounding errors.
45
46
47
48 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
49
50 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
51 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
52 by 0.2 slices)
53
54 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
55 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
56
57 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
58 also done with a intercalibration input file
59
60 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
61
62 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
63
64 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
65
66 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
67
68 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
69
70 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
71

78
79 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
80 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
81
82 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
83 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
84
85 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
86 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
87
88 - update the reference lines for the december data
89
90 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
91 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
92 pulse position changes much.
93
94 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
95 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
96 signals lower than 90 phes.
97
98 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
99 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.

104 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
105
106 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
107 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
108 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
109 than with old versions (wrong units))
110
111 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
112 formats are still unsupported by root)
113
114 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
115 for automatic processing
116

172 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
173 signal extractor without randomization
174 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted

570 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
571 an example can be found at status.C)
572
573 - reorganized directories:
574 classes describing the image --> mimage

606 missing a single NN)
607
608 - Fixed a bug in the table describing the Next Neighbours of the
609 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
610 have any neighbour)
611
612 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
613 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
614 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
615 please ask Abelardo)
616
617 - added MHHadronness (and MHadronness) as a general facility to evaluate
618 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
619
620 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
621
622 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule
623 must be replaced by calles to MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumn and
624 MWriteAsciiFile::AddColumns. Be carefull, the arguments have slightly
625 changed.
626
627 - Implemented generalized event-matrices (one row per event)
628 (MHMatrix)

653
654 - Added fCosDeltaAlpha to MHillasSrc
655
656 - The numbers of photons used to calculate fConc and fConc1 in

658 a four times smaller value for the bigger pixels in the outer ring.
659
660 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
661
662 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
663 instead of removing it completely from the analysis
664

666 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
667 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
668 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
669 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
670
671 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
672 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
673
674 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
675 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
676
677 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
678 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)

697
698
699 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
700
701 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
702 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
703 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
704 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
705
706 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
707 for the collection area calculation
708
709 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
710 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
711
712 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
713 of one container
714
715 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
716 ascii file
717
718 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
719 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
720 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
721 hillas parameters)
722
723 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
724 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
725 see MHillas and MHillasExt
726
727 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
728 see MHillasSrc
729
730 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
731 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
732 all histograms)
733
734 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
735
736 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
737
738 - Added a filter for the alpha parameter (MFAlpha)

741 an output stream instead of the whole container only
742
743 - Added a generalized filter for a data member:
744 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
745
746 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
747 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
748
749 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
750 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency
751
752 - Added many new histograms needed for the flux calculation.
753
754 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
755 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
756 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
757
758 - Added:
759 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
760 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
761 they are needed in the flux calculation in
762 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
763 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
764 of Theta and the true energy
765
766 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
767 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
768 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
769 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
770 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
771 by unfolding
772
773 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.
774

800 of a parameter container for each event
801
802 - Removed MHtml (was replaced by THtml of root 3.02) in dohtml.C
803
804 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
805
806 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
807 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
808 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
809
810 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
811 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
812 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
813

836 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
837
838 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
839 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
840 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
841
842 - Added support for a progress bar in MEvtLoop and MReadTree
843 (see the Analysis Window in Mars for an example)
844
845 - Fixed a bug in the package creation which disturbed the conversion
846 between a mars version unpacked from a tar file and the repository.
