3 *** Version <cvs>
4
5 - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow
6 to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files
7 --ins=/magic/sequences
8 and where to search for the image data
9 --ind=/magic/data/star
10
11 - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing
12 dx/dy from the resource file by
13 MSrcPosCorrect.Dx
14 MSrcPosCorrect.Dy
15
16 - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars
17 as the requested source name had were compared (If a source
18 "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304"
19 were requested it could happen that the coordinates of
20 "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed
21 in addition to its name to the logging output.
22
23 - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function
24 from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement
25 for on-only analysis'
26
27 - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy-
28 bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17)
29
30
31
32 *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01)
33
34 - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C:
35 how to calculate the threshold
36
37 - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with
38 MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino
39 and MagicReversi)
40
41 - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise
42
43 - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0
44
45 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new
46 resource file resources/calibration.rc
47
48 - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping
49 the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the
50 automatic processing
51
52 - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information
53 developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than
54 the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important
55 for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old
56 treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the
57 arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken)
58
59 - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the
60 decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower
61 information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation
62 further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal
63 do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel
64 beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the
65 pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal.
66 By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the
67 corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can
68 be supressed.
69
70 - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated)
71 got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed.
72 (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel
73 content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning
74 algorithm)
75
76 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal
77 extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly)
78 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm).
79 (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been
80 introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two
81 types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects
82 the first seconds of data of each sequence.
83
84 - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation
85 of the parameters could be made independant of the noise
86 (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search
87 extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully
88 understood.
89
90 - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case,
91 because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they
92 are sorted by their sequence number.
93
94 - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut
95
96 - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed.
97
98
99
100 *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18)
101
102 - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of
103 inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate
104 fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled #
105 histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely.
106
107 - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms
108 calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails
109 it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast.
110
111 - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode.
112 Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results.
113
114
115
116 *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05)
117
118 - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the
119 MC binning
120
121 - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in
122 April (MSrcPosCorrect)
123
124 - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly
125
126 - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm
127
128 - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes
129
130 - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly
131
132 - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and
133 marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog
134
135 - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically
136 ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly
137 represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading
138 of the subsystem data
139
140 - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also
141 Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset.
142
143 - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo.
144 It gave wrong results by 1./2pi
145
146 - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too
147
148 - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment
149
150 - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available
151
152 - mars: show muon parameters graphically
153
154 - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline
155 argument
156
157 - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190
158 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the
159 counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file
160 (MCameraHV).
161
162 - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated
163 by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070)
164
165 - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context
166 menu, eg in the TBrowser
167
168 - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to
169 - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline)
170 - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
171 This is important mainly for timing studies.
172
173 - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from
174 - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst)
175 - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast)
176 - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst)
177 - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast)
178 Introduced new limits:
179 - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05
180 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5
181 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5
182
183 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter
184 has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special
185 for Monte Carlo calibrations.
186
187 - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference
188 for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05)
189
190 - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain
191 was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the
192 fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable.
193 This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain
194 channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough
195 to make the distribution reliable.
196
197 - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now,
198 the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too
199 high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices
200 saturated and produced wrong limits.
201
202 - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc:
203 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes
204 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes
205 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes
206 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes
207
208 - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration,
209 the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096
210 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more
211 than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the
212 mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some
213 calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more
214 than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where
215 a good precision is needed.
216
217 - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of
218 photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly).
219
220 - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor
221 method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but
222 more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain
223 changes.
224
225 - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data
226 as calculated by MPedestalY2
227
228 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and
229 unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is
230 calculated from interleaved events
231
232 - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to
233 be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the
234 best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value
235 was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another
236 task
237
238 - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate
239
240 - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean
241 DC currents
242
243 - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean
244 Pedestal Rms
245
246 - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider
247
248 - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant
249 for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth
250 plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf
251 became pedestal rms dependant
252
253 - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in
254 http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/
255
256 - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in
257 May/April 05
258
259 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable:
260 ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc
261
262 - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released
263
264 - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize
265
266 - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number
267 of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of
268 total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram
269
270 - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp
271
272 - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function:
273 The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor
274 sqrt(2) to large
275
276 - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp
277 and a background model determined in the first loop is
278 subtracted
279
280 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct
281 solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using
282 the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped.
283
284 - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is
285 already determined by the third moment along the major axis and
286 so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower.
287
288 - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account
289 when calculating the source position. This is especially important
290 for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data.
291
292 - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as
293 good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch
294 it off add
295 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1
296 to your ganymed.rc
297
298 - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of
299 choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest
300 and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use...
301
302 - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold
303
304
305
306 *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03)
307
308 - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should
309 have no influence on compatibility with older camera files
310
311 - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows
312 to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree)
313 before any other tree.
314
315 - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the
316 run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such
317 that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated
318 correctly.
319
320 - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window
321
322 - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which
323 allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or
324 (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of
325 the run stored in the runheader.
326
327 - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in
328 MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was
329 already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
330
331 - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
332 now changes the filename for new weights automatically for
333 cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors.
334
335 - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the
336 name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored.
337 Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead
338 of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc.
339
340 - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is
341 explicitly set also for pretty new runs
342
343 - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows
344 to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1)
345 to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from
346 the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor
347 is fixed to 1
348
349 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit
350 more accurate now
351
352 - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different
353 pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into
354 account - not only kUnsuitableRun
355
356 - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default
357
358 - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2.
359 This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg
360 arrival times) are calculated more accuratly.
361
362 - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
363 MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0
364
365 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants
366 hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root
367
368 - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents
369 from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt
370
371 - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit
372 has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very
373 ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image
374 cleaning around them (Markus G.)
375
376 - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has
377 suggested that different extractors give slightly different
378 absolute results after calibration, due to there different
379 handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although
380 the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or
381 the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated).
382 There for correction factors have been introduced which correct
383 the calibration constants by
384 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
385 and
386 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc)
387 calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can
388 be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample.
389 The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a
390 Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
391
392 - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms
393 vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results
394 on the screen. The output and all following programs not
395 directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected
396
397 - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event
398 is read and Processed before the first data event was read.
399
400 - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard
401 false source plot with a different one. For example: If
402 you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource:
403 NameHistFS: MHDisp
404 For details about the requirements of these plots look
405 at the corresponding classes
406
407 - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize
408 has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead
409 of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this
410 case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization
411 MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call
412 RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize
413 has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy
414
415 - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a
416 different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For
417 more details see the class description and sponde.rc
418
419 - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by
420 their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using
421 the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum
422 and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut
423 normalization is normally wrong.
424
425
426
427 *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20)
428
429 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
430 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
431
432 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
433 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
434
435 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
436 because ProcessFile is missleading
437
438 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
439
440 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
441 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
442 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
443
444 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
445 versions newer than V200404070
446
447 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
448 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
449 (MCameraCentralPixel)
450
451 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
452 (MHVsSize)
453
454 - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics
455
456 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
457 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
458 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
459 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
460 can be canged
461
462 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
463 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
464 using showlog.
465
466 - showplot: improved
467 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
468 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
469 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
470 the printing command from the command line you can use all
471 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
472 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
473 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
474 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
475
476 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
477 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
478 intensity has been updated in some cases)
479
480 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
481 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
482 been taken with Pin Diode.
483
484 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
485 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
486
487 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
488 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
489
490 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
491 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
492 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
493 of the cosmisc
494
495 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
496 from 2.5 to 4.5
497
498 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
499 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump
500 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
501 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
502
503 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
504 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
505 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
506 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
507 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
508 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
509 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
510 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
511 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
512 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
513 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
514 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
515 they are a lot slower)
516 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
517 random memory access it might by completely random!
518
519 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
520 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
521 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
522
523 - callisto:
524 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
525 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
526 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
527 Default: -9.0 +4.5
528 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
529
530 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
531 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
532
533 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
534 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
535 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
536 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
537 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
538 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
539 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
540 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
541
542 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
543 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
544
545 - callisto: for the common extractors
546 + MExtractFixedWindow
547 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
548 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
549 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
550 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
551 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
552
553 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
554 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
555 hilocalib_df6.root
556
557 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
558 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
559 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
560
561 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
562 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
563 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
564 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
565 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
566 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
567 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
568
569 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
570 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
571 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
572 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
573 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
574 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
575
576 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
577
578 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
579 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
580
581 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
582 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
583 changed only minimally
584
585 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
586 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
587 MJSpectrum (sponde)
588
589 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
590 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
591 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
592 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
593
594 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
595 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
596
597
598
599 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
600
601 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
602 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
603 by 0.2 slices)
604
605 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
606 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
607
608 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
609 also done with a intercalibration input file
610
611 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
612
613 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
614

629
630 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
631 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
632
633 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
634 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
635
636 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
637 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
638
639 - update the reference lines for the december data
640
641 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
642 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
643 pulse position changes much.
644
645 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
646 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
647 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
648
649 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
650 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.

652 runs a lot.
653
654 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
655 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
656
657 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
658 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
659 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
660 than with old versions (wrong units))
661
662 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
663 formats are still unsupported by root)
664
665 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
666 for automatic processing
667
668
669

717
718 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
719
720 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
721 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
722 the slices by statistics
723 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
724 signal extractor without randomization
725 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
726 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
727 randomly fixed)
728 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
729 long as nobody really needs it:
730 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
731 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
732
733 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically

735 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
736 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
737 roughly 0.5%
738
739 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
740 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
741 batch mode possible:
742 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
743
744 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
745 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)
746
747 - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
748 camera files.
749
750 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
751
752 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
753 accurate now
754

1160 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
1161 have any neighbour)
1162
1163 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from
1164 a camera file (generated with no showers), so there is no need

1210
1211 - added new task to smooth the camera contents (MCameraSmooth)
1212
1213 - added possibility to use interpolated pixel values for blind pixels
1214 instead of removing it completely from the analysis

1217 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
1218 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
1219 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
1220 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
1221
1222 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
1223 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
1224
1225 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
1226 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)
1227
1228 - Changed the image cleaning so that pixels with to many 'used'
1229 neighbors are left used (to get rid of 'holes' in events)
1230

1249
1250 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
1251
1252 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
1253 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
1254 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
1255 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
1256
1257 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
1258 for the collection area calculation
1259
1260 - Ascii Output can now also be used for parameter containers which

1262
1263 - The Ascii Output is now also capable of writing single data members
1264 of one container
1265
1266 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
1267 ascii file
1268
1269 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
1270 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
1271 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
1272 hillas parameters)
1273
1274 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
1275 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
1276 see MHillas and MHillasExt
1277
1278 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
1279 see MHillasSrc
1280
1281 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning
1282 in different histograms (eg. the Energy bins should be the same in

1286
1287 - Added the flexible binning to the hillas histograms
1288

1290
1291 - It is now possible to write single data members of a class object to
1292 an output stream instead of the whole container only

1295 MFDataMember filter("MHillas.fWidth", '<', 0.5);
1296
1297 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
1298 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");

1306 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
1307 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
1308
1309 - Added:
1310 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
1311 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
1312 they are needed in the flux calculation in
1313 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
1314 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
1315 of Theta and the true energy
1316
1317 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
1318 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
1319 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
1320 to the estimated energy (E_est); it is needed to determine the
1321 distribution of E_true from the measured distribution of E_est
1322 by unfolding
1323

1354
1355 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
1356
1357 - root 3.02/06 fixes:
1358 + the memory leak when reading MRawEvtData
1359 + loosing more time than necessary to update the progress bar
1360
1361 - MWriteAsciiFile is now capable of writing more than one container
1362 in a line. For example: To be able to write Monte Carlo and
1363 Hillas values (energy and alpha) in one line.

1385
1386 - Fixed a bug in the Histogram classes which caused histograms to
1387 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
1388
1389 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
1390 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
1391 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
