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 - 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 - MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
47 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
48
49 - ganymed got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
50 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
51 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
52 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
53
54 - Improved support for printing in status display:
55 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
56 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
57 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
58 can be canged
59
60 - improved showplot
61 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
62 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
63 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
64 the printing command from the command line you can use all
65 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
66 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
67 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
68 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
69
70 - The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
71
72
73
74 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
75
76 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
77 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
78 by 0.2 slices)
79
80 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
81 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
82
83 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
84 also done with a intercalibration input file
85
86 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
87
88 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
89
90 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
91
92 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
93
94 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
95
96 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
97
98 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
99
100 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
101 which is more than 5 times the variance
102

104
105 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
106 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
107
108 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
109 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
110
111 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
112 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
113
114 - update the reference lines for the december data
115
116 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
117 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
118 pulse position changes much.
119
120 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
121 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
122 signals lower than 90 phes.
123
124 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
125 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
126 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
127 runs a lot.
128
129 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
130 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
131
132 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
133 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
134 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
135 than with old versions (wrong units))
136
137 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
138 formats are still unsupported by root)
139
140 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
141 for automatic processing
142
143

193 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
194
195 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
196 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
197 the slices by statistics
198 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
199 signal extractor without randomization
200 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
201 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
202 randomly fixed)
203 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
204 long as nobody really needs it:
205 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
206 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
207

635 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
636 have any neighbour)
637
638 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
639 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
640 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
641 please ask Abelardo)
642
643 - added MHHadronness (and MHadronness) as a general facility to evaluate
644 the quality of a gamma-hadron seperation method
645
646 - changed MWriteAsciiFile to accept rules (MDataChain)
647
648 - Calls to MWriteAsciiFile::AddContainer and MWriteAsciiFile::AddRule

685
686 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
687
688 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
689 instead of removing it completely from the analysis

692 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
693 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
694 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
695 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
696
697 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
698 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
699
700 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
701 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
702
703 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
704 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)

723
724
725 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
726
727 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
728 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
729 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
730 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
731
732 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
733 for the collection area calculation
734
735 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which
736 doesn't overload MParCointainer::AsciiWrite
737
738 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
739 of one container
740
741 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
742 ascii file
743
744 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
745 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
746 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
747 hillas parameters)
748
749 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
750 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
751 see MHillas and MHillasExt
752
753 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
754 see MHillasSrc
755
756 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
757 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in
758 all histograms)

760 - Changed Hillas histograms from mm to deg
761
762 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
763

770 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
771
772 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
773 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");
774
775 - Added new Monte Carlo histograms:
776 MHMcEnergyImpact and MHMcEfficiency

779
780 - Added a generalized histograms which can fill and show up to three
781 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
782 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
783
784 - Added:
785 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
786 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
787 they are needed in the flux calculation in
788 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
789 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
790 of Theta and the true energy
791
792 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
793 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
794 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
795 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
796 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
797 by unfolding
798
799 - changed the color palette in the camera display to DeapSea.

833 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
834 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
835
836 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
837 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
838 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.

862 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
863
864 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
