2 *** Version <cvs>
3
4 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
5 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
6
7 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
8 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
9
10 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
11 because ProcessFile is missleading
12
13 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
14
15 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
16 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
17 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
18
19 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
20 versions newer than V200404070
21
22 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
23 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
24 (MCameraCentralPixel)
25
26 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
27 (MHVsSize)
28
29 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
30 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
31 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
32 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
33 can be canged
34
35 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
36 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
37 using showlog.
38
39 - showplot: improved
40 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
41 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
42 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
43 the printing command from the command line you can use all
44 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
45 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
46 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
47 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
48
49 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
50 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
51 intensity has been updated in some cases)
52
53 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
54 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
55 been taken with Pin Diode.
56
57 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
58 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
59
60 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
61 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
62
63 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
64 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
65 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
66 of the cosmisc
67
68 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
69 from 2.5 to 4.5
70
71 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
72 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNuMEventsDump
73 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
74 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
75
76 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
77 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
78 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
79 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
80 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
81 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
82 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
83 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
84 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
85 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
86 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
87 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
88 they are a lot slower)
89 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
90 random memory access it might by completely random!
91
92 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
93 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
94 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
95
96 - callisto:
97 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
98 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
99 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
100 Default: -9.0 +4.5
101 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
102
103 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
104 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
105
106 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
107 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
108 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
109 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
110 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
111 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
112 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
113 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
114
115 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
116 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
117
118 - callisto: for the common extractors
119 + MExtractFixedWindow
120 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
121 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
122 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
123 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
124 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
125
126 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
127 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
128 hilocalib_df6.root
129
130 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
131 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
132 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
133
134 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
135 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
136 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
137 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
138 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
139 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
140 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
141
142 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
143 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
144 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
145 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
146 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
147 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
148
149 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
150
151 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
152 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
153
154 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
155 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
156 changed only minimally
157
158 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
159 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
160 MJSpectrum (sponde)
161
162 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
163 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
164 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
165 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
166
167 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
168 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
169
170
171
172 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
173
174 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
175 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
176 by 0.2 slices)
177
178 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
179 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
180
181 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
182 also done with a intercalibration input file
183
184 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
185
186 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
187
188 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
189
190 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
191
192 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
193
194 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
195
196 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set

199 which is more than 5 times the variance
200
201 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
202
203 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
204 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
205
206 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
207 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
208
209 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
210 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
211
212 - update the reference lines for the december data
213
214 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
215 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
216 pulse position changes much.
217
218 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
219 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
220 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
221
222 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
223 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
224 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
225 runs a lot.
226
227 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
228 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
229
230 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
231 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
232 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
233 than with old versions (wrong units))
234
235 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
236 formats are still unsupported by root)
237
238 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
239 for automatic processing
240
241
242

289 MTriggerPattern, MTriggerPatternDecode and MFTriggerPattern
290
291 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
292
293 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
294 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
295 the slices by statistics
296 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
297 signal extractor without randomization
298 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
299 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
300 randomly fixed)
301 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
302 long as nobody really needs it:
303 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
304 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
305
306 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
307
308 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
309 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
310 roughly 0.5%
311
312 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
313 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
314 batch mode possible:
315 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
316
317 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
318 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)
319
320 - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
321 camera files.
322
323 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
324
325 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
326 accurate now
327
328 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
329 MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix
330 * the new implementation is faster and
331 * needs less storage space
332
333 - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the
334 whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)

408 calibrated data files written by callisto/MJCalibrateSignal
409
410 - Added a new class which can calculate the source position in
411 the camera from a pointing model known to be correct and
412 the pointing model used for observations (MSrcPosFromModel)
413
414 - added a new version of the class calculating the effective on-time
415 MHEffectiveOnTime. It unifies the old classes MHEffOnTime,

417 MHTimeDiffTheta.
418
419 - added the possibility to count how often a signal is above (or

444 square root of the pixelsize (MImgCleanStd, MCameraData)
445
446 - removed obsolete MBlind* classes

501 the PSF and the center of the star, very useful for misspointing
502 studies.
503
504 - added support for multi-telescope camera files. Added classes
505 MStereoCalc and MStereoPar, classes to calculate and store shower

510 MC data calibrated in photons instead of ADC counts.
511
512 - added three macros to show the calibration and analysis chain of
513 MC data. The macro starmc.C does both calibration and analysis, producing
514 an output containing Hillas parameters for each event. The macro
515 mccalibrate.C does just the calibration and writes out a file containing
516 pixel information in photons instead of FADC data. The macro starmc2.C
517 reads in such a file and produces an output with Hillas parameters.
518
519 - added MPedPhotCalc to compute pedestals in units of photons, see

586 and how they can be read from the root file in the correct order
587 of time (readrep.C)
588
589 - Added a generalized histogram (similar to MH3) called MVsTime
590 which allows to plot variables (or rules - MDataChain - of

628 star.C macro as precompiled executable. Currently a flexible
629 setup is not possible, but a 'input card' setup will follow.
630
631 - Starting to implement Multi-Telescope-Support based on the

733 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
734 have any neighbour)
735
736 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
737 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need
738 to introduce them by hand in the BgR array (for more details
739 please ask Abelardo)

791 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
792 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
793 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
794
795 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
796 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
797
798 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
799 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)

837 of one container
838
839 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
840 ascii file
841
842 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
843 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
844 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
845 hillas parameters)
846

848 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
849 see MHillas and MHillasExt
850
851 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
852 see MHillasSrc
853

880 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
881
882 - Added:
883 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
884 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
885 they are needed in the flux calculation in
886 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
887 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
888 of Theta and the true energy
889
890 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
891 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
892 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
893 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
894 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
895 by unfolding
896

932 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
933
934 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
935 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and

960 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
961
962 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
