2 *** Version <cvs>
3
4 - added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is displayed.
5 The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
6 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
7 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
8 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
9 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
10
11 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
12 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
13
14 - added new histograms for image parameters versus size (MHVsSize)
15
16 - support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
17 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
18 (MCameraCentralPixel)
19
20 - fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit pattern.
21 Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
22 intensity has been updated in some cases)
23
24 - add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over calibration
25 runs since some of the recent calibration runs have been taken
26 with Pin Diode.
27
28 - Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image files.
29 (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
30
31 - ganymed (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
32 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
33 MJSpectrum (sponde)
34
35 - added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941, 39943, 44833
36 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
37
38 - MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has been set to
39 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
40
41 - ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes, because
42 ProcessFile is missleading
43
44 - support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes (use
45 the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
46
47 - fixed a bug in MExtractTimeAndchargeSpline which could cause
48 different results with different compiler optimiztaion options
49 due to rounding errors.
50
51 - MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
52 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
53
54 - ganymed got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
55 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
56 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
57 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
58
59 - Improved support for printing in status display:
60 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
61 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
62 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
63 can be canged
64
65 - improved sholog such that it handles different verbosity levels
66 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
67 using showlog.
68
69 - improved showplot
70 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
71 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
72 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
73 the printing command from the command line you can use all
74 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
75 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
76 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
77 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
78
79 - The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
80
81 - new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have been
82 introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded, kDeadPedestalRms,
83 kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
84
85 - the calibration now does a consistency check of the arrival time
86
87 - the charge timit in the calibration has been raised from 2.5 to 4.5
88
89 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
90 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNuMEventsDump
91 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
92 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit

97
98
99 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
100
101 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
102 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
103 by 0.2 slices)
104
105 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
106 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
107
108 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
109 also done with a intercalibration input file
110
111 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
112
113 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
114
115 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
116
117 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
118
119 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
120
121 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
122
123 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
124

129
130 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
131 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
132
133 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
134 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
135
136 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
137 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
138
139 - update the reference lines for the december data
140
141 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
142 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
143 pulse position changes much.
144
145 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
146 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at low-gain
147 signals lower than 90 phes.
148
149 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
150 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.

152 runs a lot.
153
154 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
155 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
156
157 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
158 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
159 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
160 than with old versions (wrong units))
161
162 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
163 formats are still unsupported by root)
164
165 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
166 for automatic processing
167
168

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

718 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
719 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
720 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
721
722 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
723 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
724
725 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
726 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)

749
750 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
751
752 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
753 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
754 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
755 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
756
757 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
758 for the collection area calculation
759
760 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which

763 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
764 of one container
765
766 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
767 ascii file
768
769 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
770 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
771 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
772 hillas parameters)
773
774 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
775 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
776 see MHillas and MHillasExt
777
778 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
779 see MHillasSrc
780

795 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
796
797 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules

806 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
807 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
808
809 - Added:
810 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
811 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
812 they are needed in the flux calculation in
813 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
814 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
815 of Theta and the true energy
816
817 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
818 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
819 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
820 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
821 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
822 by unfolding
823

858 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
859 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
860
861 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
862 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
