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 sholog such that it handles different verbosity levels
61 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
62 using showlog.
63
64 - improved showplot
65 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
66 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
67 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
68 the printing command from the command line you can use all
69 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
70 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
71 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
72 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
73
74 - The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
75
76 - new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have been
77 introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded, kDeadPedestalRms,
78 kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
79
80 - the calibration now does a consistency check of the arrival time
81
82 - the charge timit in the calibration has been raised from 2.5 to 4.5
83
84 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
85 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNuMEventsDump
86 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
87 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
88
89
90
91 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
92
93 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
94 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
95 by 0.2 slices)
96
97 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
98 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
99
100 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
101 also done with a intercalibration input file
102
103 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
104
105 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
106
107 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
108
109 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
110
111 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
112
113 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
114
115 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
116
117 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
118 which is more than 5 times the variance
119
120 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
121
122 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
123 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
124
125 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
126 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
127
128 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
129 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
130
131 - update the reference lines for the december data
132
133 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
134 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
135 pulse position changes much.
136
137 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
138 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
139 signals lower than 90 phes.
140
141 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
142 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
143 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
144 runs a lot.
145
146 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
147 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
148
149 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
150 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
151 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
152 than with old versions (wrong units))
153
154 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
155 formats are still unsupported by root)
156
157 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
158 for automatic processing
159
160

210 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
211
212 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
213 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
214 the slices by statistics
215 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
216 signal extractor without randomization
217 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
218 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
219 randomly fixed)
220 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
221 long as nobody really needs it:
222 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
223 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
224

652 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
653 have any neighbour)
654
655 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
656 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
657 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
658 please ask Abelardo)
659

710 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
711 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
712 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
713
714 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
715 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
716
717 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
718 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)

743
744 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
745 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
746 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
747 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
748
749 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
750 for the collection area calculation
751
752 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which

755 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
756 of one container
757
758 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
759 ascii file
760
761 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
762 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
763 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
764 hillas parameters)
765
766 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
767 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
768 see MHillas and MHillasExt
769
770 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
771 see MHillasSrc
772

787 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
788
789 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
790 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");

798 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
799 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
800
801 - Added:
802 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
803 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
804 they are needed in the flux calculation in
805 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
806 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
807 of Theta and the true energy
808
809 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
810 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
811 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
812 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
813 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
814 by unfolding
815

850 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
851 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
852
853 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
854 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
855 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.
