3 *** Version <cvs>
4
5 - sponde: In the calculation of the collection area(s) and the
6 distribution for MOnte Carlo and estimated energy the error
7 calculation was wrong because root didn't take the errors
8 properly into account... fixed.
9
10
11
12 *** Version 0.10 (2006/10/10)
13
14 - general: all executables now check consistency of the root version
15 installed with the root version used for compilation. The return
16 code in this case is 255.
17
18 - general: The algorithm to build seqeunces has been redesigned
19 completly. It is now more flexible in terms of a resource file
20 resources/sequences.rc which can be used to partly overwrite
21 the default algorithm and defined the important part of the
22 algorithm. It also takes correctly into account several ways
23 of taking wobble-data. Currently the new algorithm doesn't take
24 the number of pedestal events anymore into account (so a sequence
25 could have much less than 1000 pedestal events and data runs are
26 no-more used instead)
27
28 - general: a lot of small changes to make the code compatible with
29 root 5.12/00 and gcc 4.1
30
31 - general: Fixed some warnings thrown if more warnings are switched
32 on in the compiler
33
34 - general: Added a function to MMath which returns the Median of
35 the distribution abs(y[i]-median) but at 68:32 division instead
36 of 50:50, which is somehow the median counterpart of the rms.
37
38 - general: MAstroCatalog allows now to read calatog files (as bsc5)
39 even if they are compressed with gzip (recommended compression
40 is with "-1")
41
42 - showplot:
43 + batch mode creation of image files now works with root 5.12/00
44 + added support for writing bmp (though it never produces
45 bmp which can be read by programs like xv or gimp)
46 + added support for xml
47 + added new option to start the display with a different size, by
48 --display-width=nnn or --display-height=nnn
49 + added options to define the canvas size when the display is started
50 --canvas-width=nnn or --canvas-height=nnn
51 the option can also be used for batch-mode conversion
52 + added an option which automatically fits the display size to the
53 desktop-size: --auto-size
54
55 - merpp: didn't recognize files with the extension .raw.gz - fixed.
56
57 - merpp: allow the reports to have 1000ms due to a bug in the camera
58 program.
59
60 - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected. For
61 details see MRawRunHeader::FixAssignment()
62
63 - callisto: Callisto now raises an error if one of the input files could
64 not be opened.
65
66 - callisto: In some rare cases it could happen that in the hi-gain
67 extraction of the digital filter the extractor returned nonsense
68 results due a wrong initializion of a variable
69
70 - callisto: The lo-gains have been marked as valid in some cases
71 when they got not extracted at all (deltsumlo=deltatimelo=0) because
72 the allowed extraction range (fLoGainLast-fLoGainFirst) was
73 smaller than the number of slices (fLoGainWindowSize) needed
74 by the lo-gain extractor
75
76 - callisto: Updated absolute calibration constants (muon calibration)
77
78 - callisto: fixed a bug which caused the hi-gain saturation not
79 to be handled properly
80
81 - callisto: fixed a bug which gave weird results if hi- _and_
82 lo-gain could not be extracted properly
83
84 - callisto: improves handling of extracted signal if lo- and/or
85 hi-gain could not be extracted properly. If no appropriate
86 calibration of either the signal or the arrival time is possible
87 the pixel is now markes as unsuitable instead of estimated.
88
89 - callisto: Fixed a problem in the spline extraction which gave
90 weird results if the signal was extracted from the first (and
91 highest) slice
92
93 - callisto: Fixed a bug regarding the use of the QE which doesn't
94 effect the result because the default is used anyhow.
95 (The bug was there since 14/07/2005)
96
97 - callisto: Changed the default for fgLoGainStartShift
98
99 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused all hi-/lo-gain calibration
100 factors to be always 10 for all pixels as soon as the first
101 calibration update has happend.
102
103 - callisto: Fixed the hi-/lo-gain offset for the Digital Filter. It
104 was off by more than one slice (which gives wrong values for
105 pixels which have saturated the hi-gain) This was a problem
106 mainly for timing studies, not so much for the automatic standard
107 analysis. Also the values for the Spline have been changed slightly:
108 + Digital Filter from 1.70 to 0.95
109 + Spline from 1.39 to 1.30
110 The numbers were sorted out by an extensive test in the
111 test-database.
112
113 - callisto: Removed the tab showing the average calibrated arrival
114 time. It never gave useful information.
115
116 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoCal" which shows the ratio between hi- and
117 lo-gain pulse for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain have saturated
118 and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above the
119 LoGainSwitch.
120
121 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoOff" which shows the offset between hi- and
122 lo-gain pulse position (after application of LoGainOffset, which
123 means in the ideal case it is 0) for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain
124 have saturated and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above
125 the LoGainSwitch.
126
127 - callisto: After extensive tests a new threshold level for determination
128 of the pulse position has been found at 50phe. This is due to the
129 fact that for lower pulses the arrival time changes its average
130 behaviour dramatically. It tends to the average of the extraction
131 range and starts sticking to non-floating point numbers (5, 6, 7, ...)
132
133 - callisto: Added two more plots to the calibration part. The average
134 extracted signal and the average extracted arrival time as
135 extracted by the signal extractor (This can help debugging problems
136 because it doesn't involve a fit)
137
138 - star: changed the fit for the effective on time such that initial
139 values are calculated automatically now instead of using build
140 in values. This makes the fit more indepedant of the underlaying
141 rates. With a test of ~350 sequences in the test database it could
142 be shown that the new fit gives the same result +/-1sek.
143 The highest deviation was +5s the lowest -10s. You can now control
144 the bahaviour with two resource values:
145 MHEffectiveOnTime.FistBin: 3
146 MHEffectiveOnTime.NumEvents: 12000
147 Use FirstBin=1 and NumEvents=120 to fit the effective on time
148 from the resulting gamma candidates
149
150 - star: The Center histogram in MHHillas is now by default displayed
151 with the colz draw-option
152
153 - ganymed: now produces valid error codes if failed
154
155 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts now supports a hadronness cut. Switch it on
156 with the option "hadronness" instead of "area" or "both" if
157 you want to use both cuts. The hadronness cut includes a fixed
158 cut in hadronness (index 8) and a fixed cut in size (index 9).
159
160 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts: fixed abug introduced 2005/7/14 which caused
161 the M3Long of the anti source to be not properly evaluated
162 (actually is was evaluated as a unique random number) in case
163 of optimization with anti-theta cut switched on. This might have
164 lead to improper, but not necessarily wrong, optimization results.
165
166 - ganymed: ganymed_onoff.rc, ganymed_wobble.rc - updated with comments
167 how to use random forest
168
169 - ganymed: use the same spark cuts as in ganymed_wobble.rc as in
170 ganymed_onoff.rc. Seems to be unintentional that they were different.
171
172 - sponde: Since the introduction of the possibility to define a
173 normalization energy instead of using the integral the default
174 was not using the integral anymore but a normalization energy of
175 1GeV. It is now the integral again.
176
177 - sponde: Fixed a problem in the weighting which did not allow
178 a MC slope of -1.
179
180
181
182 *** Version 0.9.6 (2006/05/24)
183
184 - general: changed the binning of the azimuthal profile of the camera
185 such that it is aligned with the 60deg boundaries.
186
187 - merpp: better handling of problems with the TH, TD part of the
188 CC-REPORT for files older than 200507190 and 200412210
189 respectively
190
191 - merpp: improved handling of RECEIVERS-COM-ERROR in CC-REPORT
192
193 - merpp: implementd latest changes in starguider reports (sinc 9th May)
194
195 - callisto: if an arrival time is extracted outside the fadc range is
196 was set to the boundary before. Now a random number is assigned
197 instead to avoid unfortunate coincidences of arrival times just
198 by this arbitrary value.
199
200 - callisto: added a new option to callisto.rc which allows
201 to set the maximum arrival time difference allowed for the
202 badpixel algorithm to determin whether a pixels belongs to a shower:
203 MJCalibrateSignal.MBadPixelsTreat.MaxArrivalTimeDiff: 0.9
204
205 - callisto: changed the old value (0.5) for MaxArrivalTimeDiff
206 to 0.9 as suggested by Stefan due to a recent study on the fraction
207 of pixels surviving the image cleaning
208
209 - callisto: switched off error in case of "pulse is too much to the left"
210
211 - callisto: The extraction window is not adapted anymore. This means that
212 the pulse is extracted from the full range. The draw-back is that the
213 background (pedestal) will become slightly higher. Switching on/off
214 the PulsePosCheck in the callisto.rc only effects filling the
215 histograms.
216 WARNING: If the pulse is too much to the left data is calibrated!
217 Check the PulsePosCheck-PulsePosition AND the Inhomogeneity parameter
218 in the database to make sure that your data is valid!
219
220 - star: Show also the number of stars correlated correctly by the
221 starguider
222
223 - ganymed: implemented a new class (MHThetaSqN) which allows to use more
224 than one off-source region in wobble-mode. To use it add the following to
225 your ganymed_wobble.rc:
226 + MJCut.NameHist: MHThetaSqN (switch the new feature on)
227 + MHThetaSqN.NumOffSourcePos: 3 (define number of off-regions)
228 + MHThetaSqN.DoOffCut: Yes,No (switch on/off the off-cut)
229 + Cut1.ThetaCut: None
230 + MHThetaSqN.SignificanceCutLevel: 2.0 (increase off-cut by 2.0/1.7)
231
232 - ganymed: in the case the latest report is older than a default (currently
233 one minute) and the current report will be skip the starguider
234 correction and calibration will be reset. The maximum age can be
235 setup from ganymed.rc by (minutes):
236 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAge: 1.5
237
238 - ganymed: A first implementation showing all size-bins for the theta-sq
239 resp. alpha-plots in a single tab automatically
240
241
242
243 *** Version 0.9.5.1 (2006/05/05)
244
245 - general: Added a new option "zdiff" to the Makefile which runs
246 "cvs diff" as "make diff" would do, but with compression
247
248 - general: accelerated MTFillMatrix (used for eample in all training
249 and optimization macros) by skipping some obsolete calles in the
250 eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
251
252 - general: Added a missing feature in the MFilterList class which
253 prevented MFEnergySlope from working correctly in trainenergy.C
254
255 - general: Accelerated the random forest training and usage a bit
256
257 - merpp: Adapted to new raw data file format version 6
258
259 - merpp: fixed a problem with reading the starguider reports
260 after 6.3.2006
261
262 - callisto: At some times six pixels had to be exchanged manually in the
263 data. If the pixels to be swaped are both not found, an error was raised
264 and calibration was stopped. Now it is assumed they are intentially not
265 mapped and the Error has been changed to a Warning.
266
267 - star: Added new image cleaning based on the arrival time of the shower.
268 The new cleaning can be accessed using the parameter "Time" instead of
269 the the old one (like "Absolute) in the star.rc-file.
270 Recommended parameters:
271 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel1: 8.2
272 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel2: 5
273 + MImgCleanStd.CleanRings: 2
274 + MImgCleanStd.KeepSinglePixels: No
275
276 - star: Simplified the calculation of the effective on time. By letting
277 the fit start in the third bin the result should become more stable.
278 The fit quality is now ignored for the theta-plot which is not used
279 in the analysis later. Still better pre-cut which, for example,
280 remove events triggered by car-light (rate changing on a short
281 time-scale) are missing.
282
283 - macros: optimonoff.C, optimwobble.C: implemented a new strategy
284 for optimization (kWeakSource) which is suggested by the Berlin
285 people for weak sources.
286
287 - macros: plotdb.C:
288 + if no dataset and no time-interval is given only sequences with
289 an effective on-time above five minutes are plotted anymore
290 + added a new tab "RelTime" displaying the relative on-time
291 (effective on-time divided by the observation time)
292
293 - macros: optim*.C: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop
294 the optimization became a lot faster
295
296 - ganymed: In the second loop the MHNewImagePar histograms disapeared.
297 To display them just delete the pads displayed on top.
298
299 - ganymed: fixed a bug which could cause strange behaviour in wobble
300 mode if no starguider information was available due to an incorrect
301 initialization of the starguider calibration
302
303 - ganymed: The scale region in the False Source Plot (MHDisp) can now
304 be changed from within the plot. It can also be setup from the
305 resource file using:
306 + MHDisp.fScaleMin: 0.325
307 + MHDisp.fScaleMax: 0.475
308
309 - ganymed, showplot: Fixed a problem with the fit to the off-data
310 (HistOff) which could cause a time lag or an inifinite loop.
311 The bug did not effect the results at all.
312
313 - sponde: Added a new tab showing the effective collection area after
314 trigger (including the software trigger)
315
316 - sponde: MMcSpectrumWeight has a new option which allows to define
317 the scaling factor not by the integral of the events but at
318 a defined energy:
319 e.g. MMcSpectrumWeight.NormEnergy: 200
320
321 - MTFillMatrix, sponde: by skipping some obsolete calles in the
322 eventloops the loop could be accelerated by ~20%
323
324
325
326 *** Version 0.9.5 (2006/03/13)
327
328 - macros: fixed a typo optimwoble.C (SetThetaCut instead SetAlphaCut)
329 and added the standard Disp-parametrization
330
331 - macros: added a new macro datacenter/macros/plotstat.C allowing
332 to plot statistics about the data processing
333
334 - macros: added a new macro to plot the muon correction coefficients
335 versus period (macros/plot/mucal.C)
336
337 - showplot: path inflation for ganymed files was broken
338
339 - callisto: Fixed an important bug. When the number of saturating pixels
340 were calculated the bad pixel information already available from the
341 calibration was ignored. This yields wrong values in case pixels
342 are broken and saturate all the time or randomly.
343
344 - callisto: Updated Muon calibration constants. Spline data now also uses
345 different values for different periods
346
347 - star: The time-evolution shown in the effective on-time plot now displays
348 the axis range (if there are no holes it should be similar to the
349 effective on-time)
350
351 - star: Added two new image parameters:
352 + MNewImagePar.fConcCOG: The ratio of the equivalent signals of
353 the three pixels next to the center of gravity and the size
354 + MNewImagePar.fConcCore: The ratio of the signals of all
355 pixels inside or touching the ellipse and the size
356
357 - ganymed: now stops in requested source isn't found in catalog file
358
359 - ganymed: Many improvements to the phi-plot in wobble mode:
360 + with a template the ideal background is displayed
361 + a possible camera inhomogeneity is taken into account
362 + the anti theta cut is better supported
363 + the phi cut is automatically calculated from the theta cut
364 See the examples in ganymed_wobble.rc for more details.
365
366 - ganymed: fixed plot for E^2*dN/dE. The spectrum was multiplied with two
367 times the bin-width instead of the absolute energy
368
369 - ganymed: New cuts for on/off and wobble mode
370
371 - ganymed: The smearing of the False Source plot has been increased
372 to 0.06
373
374 - ganymed: The starguider calibration can now be changed from the
375 resource file.
376 See the examples in ganymed*.rc for more details.
377
378 - ganymed: added a new option for on-/off-observations
379 MJCut.RandomSourcePosition
380 If switched on the distribution of observation time of the source
381 position in the camera is calculated from the on-data and randomly
382 applied with this distrbution to the off-data.
383
384 - ganymed: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the
385 first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
386
387 - ganymed: The default in ganymed_onoff.rc is now to determin the source
388 position in the off-data randomly according to its distribution in the
389 on-data.
390
391
392
393 *** Version 0.9.4.3 (2006/02/13)
394
395 - general: Fixed a bug in most of the programs which prevented the
396 compile date in the startup message to be displayed
397
398 - general: Simplified program calls. The following abbreviations
399 are now possible:
400 showlog callisto 55599
401 showplot signal 55599
402 star 55599
403 callisto 55999
404 ganymed 2
405 In this cases the corrsponding root-, log-, sequence- or dataset-
406 filename is automatically compiled using the default datacenter
407 paths ("/magic/*")
408
409 - general: Fixed a long outstanding bug which made axis tick marks
410 disappear if MDataFormula was used (eg. abs(x))
411
412 - general: Updated MMath with new functions to calculate the results of
413 a exponential, logarithmic and powerlaw fits analytically.
414
415 - general: Updated some macros with comments:
416 + macros/optim/optimdisp.C
417 + macros/optim/optimenergy.C
418 + macros/optim/optimwobble.C:
419
420 - general: MTFillMatrix (the class to fill one or two MHMatrix from
421 files) now allows adding a pre-cut like in the optimization. E.g. this
422 is useful to perform g/h-separation cuts before training the random
423 forest.
424
425 - general: Between the rund 53300 and 68754 the pixels 553-558 were not
426 correctly assigned in the raw data assignement table. A fix to correct
427 the assignment tabel have been implemented.
428
429 - general: MAstroCatalog now allows rotating of the sky-grid and stars
430 by 90, 180 and 270 deg.
431
432 - general: the macro plotdb.C now allows to highlight sequences belonging
433 to a datset. For more details see the descritions in the macro.
434
435 - StatusDisplay: Fixed the algorithm to calculate the size ratio
436 of the display, it gave wrong results espacially for big sizes.
437 Now the embedded canvas should always have a ratio width/height=3/2.
438 The "Size" options have been updated with values fitting the 3/2
439 size ratio.
440
441 - RanForest:
442 + Updated the random forest classes to support also the
443 regression method implemented by Thomas H.
444 + added new tutorial macro how to train the random forest
445 for energy estimation (macros/optim/rfenergyest.C)
446 + new classes to train the random forest (still in development)
447 mjtrain/MJTrainEnergy, mjtrain/MJTrainDisp, mjtrain/MJTrainSeparation
448 + new tutorial macros for random forest training in macros/train
449 trainenergy.C, traindisp.C, trainseparation.C
450
451 - mars: now allows to setup a cut in the resource file mars.rc to choose
452 the events to be displayed, eg:
453 Cut.Condition: {0} && {1}
454 Cut.0: MHillas.fSize>100
455 Cut.1: MHillas.fSize<900
456
457 - merpp: Made aware of the new .rep format 200510250. This includes
458 interpretation of the Receiver Board Temperatures (MCameraRecTemp),
459 the discriminator thresholds (MCameraTD) and the disciminator
460 delays (MCameraTD). All of them come with the CC report and are therefor
461 written to the CC tree.
462
463 - callisto: fixed a bug in the calculation of the arrival times in
464 the Digital Filter. They were all shifted by the same amount
465 fHiGainFirst. This caused an offset in the order of the position of
466 the left border of the extraction window in the times calculated
467 from high-gain and from low-gain. The bug effected only the absolute
468 arrival times. The bug was there since 30.1.2005.
469
470 - callisto: Changed the ExtractionWindow for the pulse position check
471 such that the camera inhomogeneity becomes as less as possible and
472 comparable to the pulso position check switched off. More details
473 on the study will be given at our result web-page.
474
475 - ganymed: ganymed.rc, ganymed_onoff.rc:
476 changed to new cuts trained with 1ES1218 and Crab-data
477 for maximum sigma*log10(excess)
478
479 - ganymed: In addition to the Hadronness calculator (CalcHadronness)
480 a new option was implemented to estimate Disp (CalcDisp)
481
482 - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow
483 to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files
484 --ins=/magic/sequences
485 and where to search for the image data
486 --ind=/magic/data/star
487
488 - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing
489 dx/dy from the resource file by
490 MSrcPosCorrect.Dx
491 MSrcPosCorrect.Dy
492
493 - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars
494 as the requested source name had were compared (If a source
495 "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304"
496 were requested it could happen that the coordinates of
497 "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed
498 in addition to its name to the logging output.
499
500 - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function
501 from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement
502 for on-only analysis'
503
504 - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy-
505 bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17)
506
507 - sponde: Added a plot E^2*dN/dE
508
509 - sponde: The energy estimator plot should now show values like
510 they are commonly used.
511
512 - sponde: Now MMcSpectrumWeight also excepts formulas with two X
513 (a powerlaw with cutoff didn't work before)
514
515
516
517 *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01)
518
519 - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C:
520 how to calculate the threshold
521
522 - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with
523 MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino
524 and MagicReversi)
525
526 - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise
527
528 - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0
529
530 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new
531 resource file resources/calibration.rc
532
533 - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping
534 the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the
535 automatic processing
536
537 - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information
538 developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than
539 the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important
540 for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old
541 treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the
542 arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken)
543
544 - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the
545 decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower
546 information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation
547 further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal
548 do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel
549 beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the
550 pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal.
551 By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the
552 corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can
553 be supressed.
554
555 - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated)
556 got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed.
557 (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel
558 content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning
559 algorithm)
560
561 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal
562 extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly)
563 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm).
564 (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been
565 introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two
566 types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects
567 the first seconds of data of each sequence.
568
569 - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation
570 of the parameters could be made independant of the noise
571 (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search
572 extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully
573 understood.
574
575 - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case,
576 because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they
577 are sorted by their sequence number.
578
579 - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut
580
581 - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed.
582
583
584
585 *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18)
586
587 - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of
588 inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate
589 fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled #
590 histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely.
591
592 - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms
593 calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails
594 it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast.
595
596 - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode.
597 Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results.
598
599
600
601 *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05)
602
603 - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the
604 MC binning
605
606 - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in
607 April (MSrcPosCorrect)
608
609 - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly
610
611 - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm
612
613 - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes
614
615 - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly
616
617 - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and
618 marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog
619
620 - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically
621 ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly
622 represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading
623 of the subsystem data
624
625 - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also
626 Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset.
627
628 - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo.
629 It gave wrong results by 1./2pi
630
631 - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too
632
633 - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment
634
635 - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available
636
637 - mars: show muon parameters graphically
638
639 - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline
640 argument
641
642 - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190
643 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the
644 counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file
645 (MCameraHV).
646
647 - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated
648 by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070)
649
650 - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context
651 menu, eg in the TBrowser
652
653 - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to
654 - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline)
655 - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
656 This is important mainly for timing studies.
657
658 - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from
659 - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst)
660 - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast)
661 - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst)
662 - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast)
663 Introduced new limits:
664 - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05
665 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5
666 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5
667
668 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter
669 has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special
670 for Monte Carlo calibrations.
671
672 - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference
673 for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05)
674
675 - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain
676 was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the
677 fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable.
678 This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain
679 channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough
680 to make the distribution reliable.
681
682 - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now,
683 the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too
684 high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices
685 saturated and produced wrong limits.
686
687 - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc:
688 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes
689 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes
690 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes
691 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes
692
693 - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration,
694 the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096
695 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more
696 than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the
697 mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some
698 calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more
699 than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where
700 a good precision is needed.
701
702 - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of
703 photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly).
704
705 - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor
706 method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but
707 more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain
708 changes.
709
710 - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data
711 as calculated by MPedestalY2
712
713 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and
714 unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is
715 calculated from interleaved events
716
717 - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to
718 be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the
719 best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value
720 was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another
721 task
722
723 - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate
724
725 - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean
726 DC currents
727
728 - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean
729 Pedestal Rms
730
731 - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider
732
733 - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant
734 for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth
735 plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf
736 became pedestal rms dependant
737
738 - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in
739 http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/
740
741 - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in
742 May/April 05
743
744 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable:
745 ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc
746
747 - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released
748
749 - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize
750
751 - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number
752 of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of
753 total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram
754
755 - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp
756
757 - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function:
758 The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor
759 sqrt(2) to large
760
761 - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp
762 and a background model determined in the first loop is
763 subtracted
764
765 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct
766 solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using
767 the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped.
768
769 - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is
770 already determined by the third moment along the major axis and
771 so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower.
772
773 - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account
774 when calculating the source position. This is especially important
775 for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data.
776
777 - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as
778 good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch
779 it off add
780 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1
781 to your ganymed.rc
782
783 - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of
784 choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest
785 and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use...
786
787 - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold
788
789
790
791 *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03)
792
793 - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should
794 have no influence on compatibility with older camera files
795
796 - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows
797 to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree)
798 before any other tree.
799
800 - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the
801 run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such
802 that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated
803 correctly.
804
805 - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window
806
807 - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which
808 allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or
809 (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of
810 the run stored in the runheader.
811
812 - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in
813 MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was
814 already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
815
816 - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
817 now changes the filename for new weights automatically for
818 cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors.
819
820 - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the
821 name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored.
822 Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead
823 of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc.
824
825 - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is
826 explicitly set also for pretty new runs
827
828 - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows
829 to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1)
830 to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from
831 the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor
832 is fixed to 1
833
834 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit
835 more accurate now
836
837 - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different
838 pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into
839 account - not only kUnsuitableRun
840
841 - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default
842
843 - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2.
844 This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg
845 arrival times) are calculated more accuratly.
846
847 - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
848 MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0
849
850 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants
851 hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root
852
853 - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents
854 from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt
855
856 - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit
857 has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very
858 ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image
859 cleaning around them (Markus G.)
860
861 - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has
862 suggested that different extractors give slightly different
863 absolute results after calibration, due to there different
864 handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although
865 the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or
866 the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated).
867 There for correction factors have been introduced which correct
868 the calibration constants by
869 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
870 and
871 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc)
872 calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can
873 be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample.
874 The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a
875 Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
876
877 - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms
878 vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results
879 on the screen. The output and all following programs not
880 directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected
881
882 - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event
883 is read and Processed before the first data event was read.
884
885 - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard
886 false source plot with a different one. For example: If
887 you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource:
888 NameHistFS: MHDisp
889 For details about the requirements of these plots look
890 at the corresponding classes
891
892 - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize
893 has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead
894 of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this
895 case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization
896 MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call
897 RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize
898 has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy
899
900 - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a
901 different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For
902 more details see the class description and sponde.rc
903
904 - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by
905 their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using
906 the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum
907 and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut
908 normalization is normally wrong.
909
910
911
912 *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20)
913
914 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
915 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
916
917 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
918 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
919
920 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
921 because ProcessFile is missleading
922
923 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
924
925 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
926 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
927 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
928
929 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
930 versions newer than V200404070
931
932 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
933 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
934 (MCameraCentralPixel)
935
936 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
937 (MHVsSize)
938
939 - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics
940
941 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
942 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
943 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
944 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
945 can be canged
946
947 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
948 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
949 using showlog.
950
951 - showplot: improved
952 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
953 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
954 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
955 the printing command from the command line you can use all
956 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
957 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
958 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
959 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
960
961 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
962 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
963 intensity has been updated in some cases)
964
965 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
966 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
967 been taken with Pin Diode.
968
969 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
970 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
971
972 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
973 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
974
975 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
976 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
977 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
978 of the cosmisc
979
980 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
981 from 2.5 to 4.5
982
983 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
984 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump
985 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
986 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
987
988 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
989 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
990 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
991 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
992 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
993 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
994 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
995 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
996 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
997 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
998 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
999 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
1000 they are a lot slower)
1001 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
1002 random memory access it might by completely random!
1003
1004 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
1005 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
1006 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
1007
1008 - callisto:
1009 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
1010 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
1011 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
1012 Default: -9.0 +4.5
1013 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
1014
1015 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
1016 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
1017
1018 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
1019 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
1020 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
1021 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
1022 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
1023 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
1024 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
1025 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
1026
1027 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
1028 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
1029
1030 - callisto: for the common extractors
1031 + MExtractFixedWindow
1032 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
1033 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
1034 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
1035 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
1036 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
1037
1038 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
1039 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
1040 hilocalib_df6.root
1041
1042 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
1043 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
1044 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
1045
1046 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
1047 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
1048 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
1049 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
1050 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
1051 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
1052 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
1053
1054 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
1055 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
1056 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
1057 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
1058 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
1059 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
1060
1061 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
1062
1063 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
1064 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
1065
1066 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
1067 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
1068 changed only minimally
1069
1070 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
1071 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
1072 MJSpectrum (sponde)
1073
1074 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
1075 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
1076 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
1077 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
1078
1079 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
1080 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
1081
1082
1083
1084 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
1085
1086 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
1087 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
1088 by 0.2 slices)
1089
1090 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
1091 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
1092

1114
1115 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
1116 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
1117
1118 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
1119 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
1120

1122 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
1123
1124 - update the reference lines for the december data
1125
1126 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
1127 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
1128 pulse position changes much.
1129
1130 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
1131 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
1132 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
1133
1134 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
1135 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
1136 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
1137 runs a lot.
1138
1139 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
1140 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
1141
1142 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
1143 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
1144 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
1145 than with old versions (wrong units))
1146
1147 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
1148 formats are still unsupported by root)
1149
1150 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
1151 for automatic processing
1152
1153

1203 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
1204
1205 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
1206 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
1207 the slices by statistics
1208 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
1209 signal extractor without randomization
1210 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
1211 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
1212 randomly fixed)
1213 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
1214 long as nobody really needs it:
1215 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
1216 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
1217
1218 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
1219
1220 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
1221 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
1222 roughly 0.5%
1223
1224 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
1225 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
1226 batch mode possible:

1702 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
1703 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
1704 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
1705 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
1706
1707 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
1708 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
1709
1710 - MTaskList::PrintStatistics can now be instructud to print also the
1711 title, too: use PrintStatistics(0, kTRUE)

1734
1735 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
1736
1737 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
1738 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
1739 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
1740 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
1741
1742 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
1743 for the collection area calculation

1749 of one container
1750
1751 - You are now able to change the order of the values written to the
1752 ascii file
1753
1754 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
1755 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
1756 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
1757 hillas parameters)
1758
1759 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
1760 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
1761 see MHillas and MHillasExt
1762
1763 - Added classes to handle source dependancy of image parameters:
1764 see MHillasSrc
1765
1766 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning

1781
1782 - Added a generalized Filter parser for more difficult filter rules
1783 MF filter("MHillas.fWidth<0.5 && MHillas.fLength>0.5");

1791 data members in either a one-, two- or three-dimensional histogram, eg:
1792 MH3 mh3("MHillas.fWidth", "MHillas.fLength");
1793
1794 - Added:
1795 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
1796 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
1797 they are needed in the flux calculation in
1798 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
1799 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
1800 of Theta and the true energy
1801
1802 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
1803 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
1804 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)

1872 be written to a file by MWriteRootFile without request
1873
1874 - changed the object I/O from the old stylish root I/O to the new
1875 'auto evolution scheme' This was done only for classes which are not
1876 yet used in Monte Carlo files, so that these files are still readable.
