3 *** Version <cvs>
4
5 - general: Updated the random forest classes to support also the
6 regression method implemented by Thomas H.
7
8 - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow
9 to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files
10 --ins=/magic/sequences
11 and where to search for the image data
12 --ind=/magic/data/star
13
14 - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing
15 dx/dy from the resource file by
16 MSrcPosCorrect.Dx
17 MSrcPosCorrect.Dy
18
19 - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars
20 as the requested source name had were compared (If a source
21 "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304"
22 were requested it could happen that the coordinates of
23 "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed
24 in addition to its name to the logging output.
25
26 - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function
27 from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement
28 for on-only analysis'
29
30 - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy-
31 bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17)
32
33
34
35 *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01)
36
37 - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C:
38 how to calculate the threshold
39
40 - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with
41 MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino
42 and MagicReversi)
43
44 - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise
45
46 - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0
47
48 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new
49 resource file resources/calibration.rc
50
51 - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping
52 the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the
53 automatic processing
54
55 - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information
56 developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than
57 the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important
58 for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old
59 treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the
60 arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken)
61
62 - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the
63 decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower
64 information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation
65 further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal
66 do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel
67 beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the
68 pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal.
69 By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the
70 corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can
71 be supressed.
72
73 - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated)
74 got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed.
75 (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel
76 content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning
77 algorithm)
78
79 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal
80 extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly)
81 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm).
82 (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been
83 introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two
84 types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects
85 the first seconds of data of each sequence.
86
87 - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation
88 of the parameters could be made independant of the noise
89 (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search
90 extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully
91 understood.
92
93 - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case,
94 because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they
95 are sorted by their sequence number.
96
97 - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut
98
99 - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed.
100
101
102
103 *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18)
104
105 - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of
106 inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate
107 fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled #
108 histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely.
109
110 - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms
111 calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails
112 it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast.
113
114 - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode.
115 Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results.
116
117
118
119 *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05)
120
121 - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the
122 MC binning
123
124 - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in
125 April (MSrcPosCorrect)
126
127 - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly
128
129 - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm
130
131 - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes
132
133 - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly
134
135 - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and
136 marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog
137
138 - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically
139 ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly
140 represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading
141 of the subsystem data
142
143 - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also
144 Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset.
145
146 - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo.
147 It gave wrong results by 1./2pi
148
149 - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too
150
151 - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment
152
153 - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available
154
155 - mars: show muon parameters graphically
156
157 - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline
158 argument
159
160 - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190
161 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the
162 counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file
163 (MCameraHV).
164
165 - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated
166 by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070)
167
168 - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context
169 menu, eg in the TBrowser
170
171 - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to
172 - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline)
173 - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
174 This is important mainly for timing studies.
175
176 - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from
177 - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst)
178 - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast)
179 - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst)
180 - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast)
181 Introduced new limits:
182 - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05
183 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5
184 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5
185
186 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter
187 has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special
188 for Monte Carlo calibrations.
189
190 - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference
191 for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05)
192
193 - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain
194 was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the
195 fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable.
196 This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain
197 channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough
198 to make the distribution reliable.
199
200 - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now,
201 the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too
202 high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices
203 saturated and produced wrong limits.
204
205 - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc:
206 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes
207 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes
208 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes
209 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes
210
211 - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration,
212 the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096
213 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more
214 than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the
215 mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some
216 calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more
217 than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where
218 a good precision is needed.
219
220 - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of
221 photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly).
222
223 - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor
224 method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but
225 more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain
226 changes.
227
228 - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data
229 as calculated by MPedestalY2
230
231 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and
232 unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is
233 calculated from interleaved events
234
235 - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to
236 be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the
237 best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value
238 was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another
239 task
240
241 - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate
242
243 - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean
244 DC currents
245
246 - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean
247 Pedestal Rms
248
249 - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider
250
251 - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant
252 for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth
253 plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf
254 became pedestal rms dependant
255
256 - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in
257 http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/
258
259 - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in
260 May/April 05
261
262 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable:
263 ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc
264
265 - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released
266
267 - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize
268
269 - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number
270 of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of
271 total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram
272
273 - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp
274
275 - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function:
276 The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor
277 sqrt(2) to large
278
279 - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp
280 and a background model determined in the first loop is
281 subtracted
282
283 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct
284 solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using
285 the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped.
286
287 - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is
288 already determined by the third moment along the major axis and
289 so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower.
290
291 - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account
292 when calculating the source position. This is especially important
293 for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data.
294
295 - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as
296 good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch
297 it off add
298 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1
299 to your ganymed.rc
300
301 - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of
302 choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest
303 and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use...
304
305 - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold
306
307
308
309 *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03)
310
311 - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should
312 have no influence on compatibility with older camera files
313
314 - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows
315 to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree)
316 before any other tree.
317
318 - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the
319 run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such
320 that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated
321 correctly.
322
323 - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window
324
325 - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which
326 allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or
327 (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of
328 the run stored in the runheader.
329
330 - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in
331 MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was
332 already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
333
334 - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
335 now changes the filename for new weights automatically for
336 cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors.
337
338 - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the
339 name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored.
340 Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead
341 of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc.
342
343 - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is
344 explicitly set also for pretty new runs
345
346 - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows
347 to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1)
348 to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from
349 the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor
350 is fixed to 1
351
352 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit
353 more accurate now
354
355 - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different
356 pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into
357 account - not only kUnsuitableRun
358
359 - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default
360
361 - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2.
362 This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg
363 arrival times) are calculated more accuratly.
364
365 - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
366 MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0
367
368 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants
369 hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root
370
371 - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents
372 from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt
373
374 - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit
375 has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very
376 ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image
377 cleaning around them (Markus G.)
378
379 - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has
380 suggested that different extractors give slightly different
381 absolute results after calibration, due to there different
382 handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although
383 the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or
384 the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated).
385 There for correction factors have been introduced which correct
386 the calibration constants by
387 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
388 and
389 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc)
390 calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can
391 be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample.
392 The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a
393 Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
394
395 - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms
396 vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results
397 on the screen. The output and all following programs not
398 directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected
399
400 - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event
401 is read and Processed before the first data event was read.
402
403 - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard
404 false source plot with a different one. For example: If
405 you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource:
406 NameHistFS: MHDisp
407 For details about the requirements of these plots look
408 at the corresponding classes
409
410 - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize
411 has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead
412 of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this
413 case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization
414 MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call
415 RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize
416 has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy
417
418 - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a
419 different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For
420 more details see the class description and sponde.rc
421
422 - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by
423 their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using
424 the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum
425 and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut
426 normalization is normally wrong.
427
428
429
430 *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20)
431
432 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
433 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
434
435 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
436 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
437
438 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
439 because ProcessFile is missleading
440
441 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
442
443 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
444 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
445 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
446
447 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
448 versions newer than V200404070
449
450 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
451 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
452 (MCameraCentralPixel)
453
454 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
455 (MHVsSize)
456
457 - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics
458
459 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
460 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
461 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
462 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
463 can be canged
464
465 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
466 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
467 using showlog.
468
469 - showplot: improved
470 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
471 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
472 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
473 the printing command from the command line you can use all
474 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
475 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
476 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
477 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
478
479 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
480 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
481 intensity has been updated in some cases)
482
483 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
484 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
485 been taken with Pin Diode.
486
487 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
488 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
489
490 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
491 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
492
493 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
494 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
495 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
496 of the cosmisc
497
498 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
499 from 2.5 to 4.5
500
501 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
502 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump
503 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
504 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
505
506 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
507 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
508 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
509 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
510 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
511 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
512 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
513 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
514 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
515 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
516 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
517 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
518 they are a lot slower)
519 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
520 random memory access it might by completely random!
521
522 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
523 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
524 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
525
526 - callisto:
527 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
528 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
529 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
530 Default: -9.0 +4.5
531 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
532
533 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
534 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
535
536 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
537 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
538 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
539 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
540 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
541 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
542 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
543 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
544
545 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
546 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
547
548 - callisto: for the common extractors
549 + MExtractFixedWindow
550 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
551 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
552 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
553 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
554 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
555
556 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
557 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
558 hilocalib_df6.root
559
560 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
561 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
562 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
563
564 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
565 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
566 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
567 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
568 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
569 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
570 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
571
572 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
573 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
574 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
575 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
576 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
577 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
578
579 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
580
581 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
582 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
583
584 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
585 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
586 changed only minimally
587
588 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
589 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
590 MJSpectrum (sponde)
591
592 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
593 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
594 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
595 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
596
597 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
598 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
599
600
601
602 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
603
604 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
605 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
606 by 0.2 slices)
607
608 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
609 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
610
611 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
612 also done with a intercalibration input file
613
614 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
615
616 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0

631 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
632
633 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
634 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
635
636 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
637 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
638
639 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
640 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
641
642 - update the reference lines for the december data
643
644 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
645 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
646 pulse position changes much.
647
648 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
649 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
650 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
651
652 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
653 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
654 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
655 runs a lot.
656
657 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
658 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
659
660 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
661 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
662 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
663 than with old versions (wrong units))
664
665 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
666 formats are still unsupported by root)
667
668 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
669 for automatic processing
670
671
672

720
721 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
722
723 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
724 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
725 the slices by statistics
726 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
727 signal extractor without randomization
728 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
729 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
730 randomly fixed)
731 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
732 long as nobody really needs it:
733 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
734 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
735
736 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
737
738 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
739 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
740 roughly 0.5%
741
742 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
743 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
744 batch mode possible:
745 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
746
747 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
748 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)
749
750 - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
751 camera files.
752
753 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
754
755 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
756 accurate now
757

1220 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
1221 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
1222 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
1223 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
1224
1225 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
1226 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
1227

1252
1253 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
1254
1255 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
1256 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
1257 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
1258 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
1259
1260 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
1261 for the collection area calculation

1267 of one container
1268
1269 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
1270 ascii file
1271
1272 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
1273 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
1274 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
1275 hillas parameters)
1276
1277 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
1278 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
1279 see MHillas and MHillasExt
1280
1281 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
1282 see MHillasSrc
1283
1284 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning

1299
1300 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
1301 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");

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

1357
1358 - changes to be more efficient with root 3.02/06
1359
1360 - root 3.02/06 fixes:

1390 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
1391
1392 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
1393 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
