4
5 - general: Fixed a bug in most of the programs which prevented the
6 compile date in the startup message to be displayed
7
8 - general: Simplified program calls. The following abbreviations
9 are now possible:
10 showlog callisto 55599
11 showplot signal 55599
12 star 55599
13 callisto 55999
14 ganymed 2
15 In this cases the corrsponding root-, log-, sequence- or dataset-
16 filename is automatically compiled using the default datacenter
17 paths ("/magic/*")
18
19 - general: Fixed a long outstanding bug which made axis tick marks
20 disappear if MDataFormula was used (eg. abs(x))
21
22 - general: Updated MMath with new functions to calculate the results of
23 a exponential, logarithmic and powerlaw fits analytically.
24
25 - general: Updated some macros with comments:
26 + macros/optim/optimdisp.C
27 + macros/optim/optimenergy.C
28 + macros/optim/optimwobble.C:
29
30 - general: MTFillMatrix (the class to fill one or two MHMatrix from
31 files) now allows adding a pre-cut like in the optimization. E.g. this
32 is useful to perform g/h-separation cuts before training the random
33 forest.
34
35 - general: Between the rund 53300 and 68754 the pixels 553-558 were not
36 correctly assigned in the raw data assignement table. A fix to correct
37 the assignment tabel have been implemented.
38
39 - general: MAstroCatalog now allows rotating of the sky-grid and stars
40 by 90, 180 and 270 deg.
41
42 - StatusDisplay: Fixed the algorithm to calculate the size ratio
43 of the display, it gave wrong results espacially for big sizes.
44 Now the embedded canvas should always have a ratio width/height=3/2.
45 The "Size" options have been updated with values fitting the 3/2
46 size ratio.
47
48 - RanForest:
49 + Updated the random forest classes to support also the
50 regression method implemented by Thomas H.
51 + added new tutorial macro how to train the random forest
52 for energy estimation (macros/optim/rfenergyest.C)
53 + new classes to train the random forest (still in development)
54 mjtrain/MJTrainEnergy, mjtrain/MJTrainDisp, mjtrain/MJTrainSeparation
55 + new tutorial macros for random forest training in macros/train
56 trainenergy.C, traindisp.C, trainseparation.C
57
58 - mars: now allows to setup a cut in the resource file mars.rc to choose
59 the events to be displayed, eg:
60 Cut.Condition: {0} && {1}
61 Cut.0: MHillas.fSize>100
62 Cut.1: MHillas.fSize<900
63
64 - merpp: Made aware of the new .rep format 200510250. This includes
65 interpretation of the Receiver Board Temperatures (MCameraRecTemp),
66 the discriminator thresholds (MCameraTD) and the disciminator
67 delays (MCameraTD). All of them come with the CC report and are therefor
68 written to the CC tree.
69
70 - callisto: fixed a bug in the calculation of the arrival times in
71 the Digital Filter. They were all shifted by the same amount
72 fHiGainFirst. This caused an offset in the order of the position of
73 the left border of the extraction window in the times calculated
74 from high-gain and from low-gain. The bug effected only the absolute
75 arrival times. The bug was there since 30.1.2005.
76
77 - ganymed: ganymed.rc, ganymed_onoff.rc:
78 changed to new cuts trained with 1ES1218 and Crab-data
79 for maximum sigma*log10(excess)
80
81 - ganymed: In addition to the Hadronness calculator (CalcHadronness)
82 a new option was implemented to estimate Disp (CalcDisp)
83
84 - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow
85 to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files
86 --ins=/magic/sequences
87 and where to search for the image data
88 --ind=/magic/data/star
89
90 - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing
91 dx/dy from the resource file by
92 MSrcPosCorrect.Dx
93 MSrcPosCorrect.Dy
94
95 - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars
96 as the requested source name had were compared (If a source
97 "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304"
98 were requested it could happen that the coordinates of
99 "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed
100 in addition to its name to the logging output.
101
102 - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function
103 from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement
104 for on-only analysis'
105
106 - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy-
107 bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17)
108
109 - sponde: Added a plot E^2*dN/dE
110
111 - sponde: The energy estimator plot should now show values like
112 they are commonly used.
113
114 - sponde: Now MMcSpectrumWeight also excepts formulas with two X
115 (a powerlaw with cutoff didn't work before)
116
117
118
119 *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01)
120
121 - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C:
122 how to calculate the threshold
123
124 - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with
125 MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino
126 and MagicReversi)
127
128 - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise
129
130 - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0
131
132 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new
133 resource file resources/calibration.rc
134
135 - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping
136 the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the
137 automatic processing
138
139 - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information
140 developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than
141 the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important
142 for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old
143 treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the
144 arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken)
145
146 - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the
147 decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower
148 information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation
149 further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal
150 do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel
151 beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the
152 pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal.
153 By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the
154 corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can
155 be supressed.
156
157 - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated)
158 got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed.
159 (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel
160 content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning
161 algorithm)
162
163 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal
164 extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly)
165 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm).
166 (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been
167 introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two
168 types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects
169 the first seconds of data of each sequence.
170
171 - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation
172 of the parameters could be made independant of the noise
173 (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search
174 extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully
175 understood.
176
177 - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case,
178 because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they
179 are sorted by their sequence number.
180
181 - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut
182
183 - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed.
184
185
186
187 *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18)
188
189 - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of
190 inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate
191 fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled #
192 histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely.
193
194 - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms
195 calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails
196 it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast.
197
198 - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode.
199 Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results.
200
201
202
203 *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05)
204
205 - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the
206 MC binning
207
208 - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in
209 April (MSrcPosCorrect)
210
211 - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly
212
213 - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm
214
215 - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes
216
217 - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly
218
219 - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and
220 marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog
221
222 - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically
223 ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly
224 represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading
225 of the subsystem data
226
227 - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also
228 Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset.
229
230 - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo.
231 It gave wrong results by 1./2pi
232
233 - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too
234
235 - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment
236
237 - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available
238
239 - mars: show muon parameters graphically
240
241 - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline
242 argument
243
244 - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190
245 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the
246 counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file
247 (MCameraHV).
248
249 - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated
250 by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070)
251
252 - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context
253 menu, eg in the TBrowser
254
255 - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to
256 - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline)
257 - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
258 This is important mainly for timing studies.
259
260 - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from
261 - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst)
262 - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast)
263 - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst)
264 - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast)
265 Introduced new limits:
266 - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05
267 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5
268 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5
269
270 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter
271 has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special
272 for Monte Carlo calibrations.
273
274 - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference
275 for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05)
276
277 - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain
278 was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the
279 fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable.
280 This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain
281 channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough
282 to make the distribution reliable.
283
284 - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now,
285 the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too
286 high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices
287 saturated and produced wrong limits.
288
289 - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc:
290 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes
291 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes
292 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes
293 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes
294
295 - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration,
296 the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096
297 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more
298 than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the
299 mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some
300 calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more
301 than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where
302 a good precision is needed.
303
304 - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of
305 photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly).
306
307 - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor
308 method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but
309 more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain
310 changes.
311
312 - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data
313 as calculated by MPedestalY2
314
315 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and
316 unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is
317 calculated from interleaved events
318
319 - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to
320 be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the
321 best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value
322 was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another
323 task
324
325 - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate
326
327 - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean
328 DC currents
329
330 - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean
331 Pedestal Rms
332
333 - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider
334
335 - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant
336 for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth
337 plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf
338 became pedestal rms dependant
339
340 - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in
341 http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/
342
343 - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in
344 May/April 05
345
346 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable:
347 ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc
348
349 - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released
350
351 - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize
352
353 - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number
354 of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of
355 total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram
356
357 - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp
358
359 - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function:
360 The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor
361 sqrt(2) to large
362
363 - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp
364 and a background model determined in the first loop is
365 subtracted
366
367 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct
368 solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using
369 the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped.
370
371 - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is
372 already determined by the third moment along the major axis and
373 so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower.
374
375 - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account
376 when calculating the source position. This is especially important
377 for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data.
378
379 - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as
380 good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch
381 it off add
382 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1
383 to your ganymed.rc
384
385 - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of
386 choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest
387 and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use...
388
389 - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold
390
391
392
393 *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03)
394
395 - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should
396 have no influence on compatibility with older camera files
397
398 - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows
399 to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree)
400 before any other tree.
401
402 - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the
403 run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such
404 that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated
405 correctly.
406
407 - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window
408
409 - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which
410 allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or
411 (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of
412 the run stored in the runheader.
413
414 - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in
415 MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was
416 already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
417
418 - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
419 now changes the filename for new weights automatically for
420 cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors.
421
422 - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the
423 name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored.
424 Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead
425 of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc.
426
427 - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is
428 explicitly set also for pretty new runs
429
430 - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows
431 to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1)
432 to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from
433 the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor
434 is fixed to 1
435
436 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit
437 more accurate now
438
439 - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different
440 pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into
441 account - not only kUnsuitableRun
442
443 - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default
444
445 - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2.
446 This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg
447 arrival times) are calculated more accuratly.
448
449 - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
450 MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0
451
452 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants
453 hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root
454
455 - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents
456 from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt
457
458 - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit
459 has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very
460 ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image
461 cleaning around them (Markus G.)
462
463 - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has
464 suggested that different extractors give slightly different
465 absolute results after calibration, due to there different
466 handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although
467 the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or
468 the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated).
469 There for correction factors have been introduced which correct
470 the calibration constants by
471 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
472 and
473 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc)
474 calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can
475 be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample.
476 The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a
477 Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
478
479 - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms
480 vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results
481 on the screen. The output and all following programs not
482 directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected
483
484 - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event
485 is read and Processed before the first data event was read.
486
487 - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard
488 false source plot with a different one. For example: If
489 you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource:
490 NameHistFS: MHDisp
491 For details about the requirements of these plots look
492 at the corresponding classes
493
494 - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize
495 has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead
496 of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this
497 case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization
498 MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call
499 RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize
500 has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy
501
502 - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a
503 different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For
504 more details see the class description and sponde.rc
505
506 - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by
507 their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using
508 the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum
509 and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut
510 normalization is normally wrong.
511
512
513
514 *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20)
515
516 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
517 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
518
519 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
520 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
521
522 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
523 because ProcessFile is missleading
524
525 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
526
527 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
528 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
529 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
530
531 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
532 versions newer than V200404070
533
534 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
535 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
536 (MCameraCentralPixel)
537
538 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
539 (MHVsSize)
540
541 - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics
542
543 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
544 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
545 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
546 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
547 can be canged
548
549 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
550 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
551 using showlog.
552
553 - showplot: improved
554 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
555 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
556 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
557 the printing command from the command line you can use all
558 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
559 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
560 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
561 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
562
563 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
564 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
565 intensity has been updated in some cases)
566
567 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
568 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
569 been taken with Pin Diode.
570
571 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
572 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
573
574 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
575 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
576
577 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
578 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
579 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
580 of the cosmisc
581
582 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
583 from 2.5 to 4.5
584
585 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
586 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump
587 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
588 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
589
590 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
591 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
592 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
593 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
594 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
595 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
596 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
597 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
598 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
599 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
600 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
601 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
602 they are a lot slower)
603 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
604 random memory access it might by completely random!
605
606 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
607 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
608 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
609
610 - callisto:
611 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
612 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
613 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
614 Default: -9.0 +4.5
615 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
616
617 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
618 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
619
620 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
621 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
622 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
623 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
624 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
625 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
626 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
627 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
628
629 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
630 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
631
632 - callisto: for the common extractors
633 + MExtractFixedWindow
634 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
635 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
636 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
637 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
638 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
639
640 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
641 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
642 hilocalib_df6.root
643
644 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
645 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
646 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
647
648 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
649 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
650 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
651 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
652 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
653 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
654 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
655
656 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
657 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
658 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
659 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
660 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
661 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
662
663 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
664
665 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
666 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
667
668 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
669 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
670 changed only minimally
671
672 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
673 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
674 MJSpectrum (sponde)
675
676 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
677 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
678 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
679 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
680
681 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
682 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
683
684
685
686 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
687
688 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
689 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
690 by 0.2 slices)
691
692 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
693 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
694
695 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
696 also done with a intercalibration input file
697
698 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
699
700 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0

713 which is more than 5 times the variance
714
715 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
716
717 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
718 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
719
720 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
721 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
722
723 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
724 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
725
726 - update the reference lines for the december data
727
728 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
729 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
730 pulse position changes much.
731
732 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
733 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
734 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
735
736 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
737 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
738 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
739 runs a lot.
740
741 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
742 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
743
744 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
745 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
746 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
747 than with old versions (wrong units))
748
749 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
750 formats are still unsupported by root)
751
752 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
753 for automatic processing
754
755
756
757 *** Version 0.9 (2005/03/23)
758

789 (MHexagonalFT)
790
791 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure

795 MGeomCamMagic to a enhanced geometry MGeomCamMagicXT having only
796 small pixels, example: extendcam.C
797

803 MTriggerPattern, MTriggerPatternDecode and MFTriggerPattern
804
805 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
806
807 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
808 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
809 the slices by statistics
810 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
811 signal extractor without randomization
812 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
813 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
814 randomly fixed)
815 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
816 long as nobody really needs it:
817 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
818 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
819
820 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
821
822 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
823 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
824 roughly 0.5%
825
826 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
827 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
828 batch mode possible:
829 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
830
831 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
832 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)
833
834 - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
835 camera files.
836
837 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
838
839 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
840 accurate now
841
842 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
843 MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix
844 * the new implementation is faster and
845 * needs less storage space
846
847 - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the
848 whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)
849

888 - added a cleaning which takes signal height _and_ arrival time into
889 account: probability cleaning (for more details see MImgCleanStd)
890
891 - added a cleaning which takes takes the absolute number of photons
892 times the area ratio as cleaning level
893 (for more details see MImgCleanStd)

914 - New star-program (star and MJStar). Taking calibrated data from
915 callisto/MJCalibrateSignal as input. The setup is done through
916 a resource file: star.rc
917
918 - Added possibility to setup the eventloop in the mars-executable
919 Camera Display by a resource file: mars.rc
920
921 - The the mars-executable Camera Display can now also read
922 calibrated data files written by callisto/MJCalibrateSignal
923
924 - Added a new class which can calculate the source position in
925 the camera from a pointing model known to be correct and
926 the pointing model used for observations (MSrcPosFromModel)
927
928 - added a new version of the class calculating the effective on-time
929 MHEffectiveOnTime. It unifies the old classes MHEffOnTime,
930 MHEffOnTimeTime, MHEffOnTimeTheta, MHTimeDiff, MHTimeDiffTime and
931 MHTimeDiffTheta.
932
933 - added the possibility to count how often a signal is above (or

958 square root of the pixelsize (MImgCleanStd, MCameraData)
959
960 - removed obsolete MBlind* classes
961
962 - Signal extractor taking the AB flag into account implemented (this makes
963 an odd number of slices for signal extraction possible

1011 slices in the maximum window
1012
1013 - added a new macro call pointspreadfucntion.C that fits with a 2D
1014 gaussian the DC spot for an star. It gives you the RMS of
1015 the PSF and the center of the star, very useful for misspointing
1016 studies.
1017
1018 - added support for multi-telescope camera files. Added classes
1019 MStereoCalc and MStereoPar, classes to calculate and store shower

1024 MC data calibrated in photons instead of ADC counts.
1025
1026 - added three macros to show the calibration and analysis chain of
1027 MC data. The macro starmc.C does both calibration and analysis, producing
1028 an output containing Hillas parameters for each event. The macro
1029 mccalibrate.C does just the calibration and writes out a file containing
1030 pixel information in photons instead of FADC data. The macro starmc2.C
1031 reads in such a file and produces an output with Hillas parameters.
1032
1033 - added MPedPhotCalc to compute pedestals in units of photons, see
1034 macro pedphotcalc.C

1087 - added classes to read and interprete central control report files
1088 (Directory: mreport, Base-Class: MReport, Reader: MReportFileRead, ...)
1089

1206
1207 - added a new status display which can show the present status
1208 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
1209 an example can be found at status.C)
1210

1304 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
1305 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
1306 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
1307 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
1308
1309 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
1310 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
1311

1336
1337 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
1338
1339 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
1340 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
1341 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
1342 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
1343
1344 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
1345 for the collection area calculation

1354 ascii file
1355
1356 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
1357 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
1358 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
1359 hillas parameters)
1360
1361 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
1362 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
1363 see MHillas and MHillasExt

1366 see MHillasSrc
1367
1368 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning

1395
1396 - Added:
1397 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
1398 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
1399 they are needed in the flux calculation in
1400 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
1401 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
1402 of Theta and the true energy
1403
1404 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
1405 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
1406 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
