7 *** Version 0.10.3 (2006/10/23)
8
9 - database: Implemented ObservationMode flag in websites.
10
11 - database: For sequences there is now also the stoptime available on the
12 websites.
13
14 - database: Removed ManuallyChanged flag from sequence-info websites,
15 as it is not needed anymore with the new sequence building algorithm.
16
17 - general: MRolke.[cc,h]: Modification of TRolke from root_v5.12.00b.
18 Class for calculation of confidence intervals (upper limits).
19 Use model 3 or 4 for upper limit calculation for MAGIC observations.
20 Please read the class instruction of TRolke for more information.
21
22 - general: The programs now return 0xfe if the requested resource file
23 doesn't exist.
24
25 - general: Errors comming from root itself are now not output to
26 stderr anymore but to our default (colored) log-stream.
27
28 - general: Changed the interface to TFormula such that now everything
29 is parsed by TFormula, which should allow to use phrases even
30 without paranthesis correctly parsed.
31
32 - callisto: replaced the AdHoc number of effective integration slices
33 in the digital filter by an average of the correct number, averaged
34 over all possible set of weights. This also gives correct numbers
35 for the lo-gains which were totally wrong before.
36
37 - callisto: drastically reduced memory consumption by not storing
38 all intermediate calibration results in memory anymore (we might
39 write them into a file in the future)
40
41 - ganymed: To get a nice Theta-Sq plot (instead of the all-information
42 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
43 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
44 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
45 the "DrawAll" option)
46 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!

50 *** Version 0.10.2 (2006/10/15)
51
52 - general: changed the building of the sequence files such, that
53 the source-/project name in case of wobble-sources is not the
54 source/project of the first data run anymore but the new generalized
55 wobble source/project
56
57 - general: Added some functions to MAstro to calculate sun and
58 moon properties
59
60 - general: Added two new macros (starvisday.C and starvisyear.C)
61 which allow to plot the visibility of several stars in one day
62 or of one star along one year
63
64
65
66 *** Version 0.10.1 (2006/10/11)
67
68 - general: HTML logging output was distorted... fixed.
69
70 - general: Changed the writing of the sequencefiles such that only
71 as many pedestal files as giving at least 1000 pedestal events which
72 are nearby the first calibration run are used as pedestal runs
73
74 - sponde: In the calculation of the collection area(s) and the
75 distribution for MOnte Carlo and estimated energy the error
76 calculation was wrong because root didn't take the errors
77 properly into account... fixed.
78
79
80
81 *** Version 0.10 (2006/10/10)
82
83 - general: all executables now check consistency of the root version
84 installed with the root version used for compilation. The return
85 code in this case is 255.
86
87 - general: The algorithm to build seqeunces has been redesigned
88 completly. It is now more flexible in terms of a resource file
89 resources/sequences.rc which can be used to partly overwrite
90 the default algorithm and defined the important part of the
91 algorithm. It also takes correctly into account several ways
92 of taking wobble-data. Currently the new algorithm doesn't take
93 the number of pedestal events anymore into account (so a sequence
94 could have much less than 1000 pedestal events and data runs are
95 no-more used instead)
96
97 - general: a lot of small changes to make the code compatible with
98 root 5.12/00 and gcc 4.1
99
100 - general: Fixed some warnings thrown if more warnings are switched
101 on in the compiler
102
103 - general: Added a function to MMath which returns the Median of
104 the distribution abs(y[i]-median) but at 68:32 division instead
105 of 50:50, which is somehow the median counterpart of the rms.
106
107 - general: MAstroCatalog allows now to read calatog files (as bsc5)
108 even if they are compressed with gzip (recommended compression
109 is with "-1")
110
111 - showplot:
112 + batch mode creation of image files now works with root 5.12/00
113 + added support for writing bmp (though it never produces
114 bmp which can be read by programs like xv or gimp)
115 + added support for xml
116 + added new option to start the display with a different size, by
117 --display-width=nnn or --display-height=nnn
118 + added options to define the canvas size when the display is started
119 --canvas-width=nnn or --canvas-height=nnn
120 the option can also be used for batch-mode conversion
121 + added an option which automatically fits the display size to the
122 desktop-size: --auto-size
123
124 - merpp: didn't recognize files with the extension .raw.gz - fixed.
125
126 - merpp: allow the reports to have 1000ms due to a bug in the camera
127 program.
128
129 - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected. For
130 details see MRawRunHeader::FixAssignment()
131
132 - callisto: Callisto now raises an error if one of the input files could
133 not be opened.
134
135 - callisto: In some rare cases it could happen that in the hi-gain
136 extraction of the digital filter the extractor returned nonsense
137 results due a wrong initializion of a variable
138
139 - callisto: The lo-gains have been marked as valid in some cases
140 when they got not extracted at all (deltsumlo=deltatimelo=0) because
141 the allowed extraction range (fLoGainLast-fLoGainFirst) was
142 smaller than the number of slices (fLoGainWindowSize) needed
143 by the lo-gain extractor
144
145 - callisto: Updated absolute calibration constants (muon calibration)
146
147 - callisto: fixed a bug which caused the hi-gain saturation not
148 to be handled properly
149
150 - callisto: fixed a bug which gave weird results if hi- _and_
151 lo-gain could not be extracted properly
152
153 - callisto: improves handling of extracted signal if lo- and/or
154 hi-gain could not be extracted properly. If no appropriate
155 calibration of either the signal or the arrival time is possible
156 the pixel is now markes as unsuitable instead of estimated.
157
158 - callisto: Fixed a problem in the spline extraction which gave
159 weird results if the signal was extracted from the first (and
160 highest) slice
161
162 - callisto: Fixed a bug regarding the use of the QE which doesn't
163 effect the result because the default is used anyhow.
164 (The bug was there since 14/07/2005)
165
166 - callisto: Changed the default for fgLoGainStartShift
167
168 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused all hi-/lo-gain calibration
169 factors to be always 10 for all pixels as soon as the first
170 calibration update has happend.
171
172 - callisto: Fixed the hi-/lo-gain offset for the Digital Filter. It
173 was off by more than one slice (which gives wrong values for
174 pixels which have saturated the hi-gain) This was a problem
175 mainly for timing studies, not so much for the automatic standard
176 analysis. Also the values for the Spline have been changed slightly:
177 + Digital Filter from 1.70 to 0.95
178 + Spline from 1.39 to 1.30
179 The numbers were sorted out by an extensive test in the
180 test-database.
181
182 - callisto: Removed the tab showing the average calibrated arrival
183 time. It never gave useful information.
184
185 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoCal" which shows the ratio between hi- and
186 lo-gain pulse for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain have saturated
187 and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above the
188 LoGainSwitch.
189
190 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoOff" which shows the offset between hi- and
191 lo-gain pulse position (after application of LoGainOffset, which
192 means in the ideal case it is 0) for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain
193 have saturated and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above
194 the LoGainSwitch.
195
196 - callisto: After extensive tests a new threshold level for determination
197 of the pulse position has been found at 50phe. This is due to the
198 fact that for lower pulses the arrival time changes its average
199 behaviour dramatically. It tends to the average of the extraction
200 range and starts sticking to non-floating point numbers (5, 6, 7, ...)
201
202 - callisto: Added two more plots to the calibration part. The average
203 extracted signal and the average extracted arrival time as
204 extracted by the signal extractor (This can help debugging problems
205 because it doesn't involve a fit)
206
207 - star: changed the fit for the effective on time such that initial
208 values are calculated automatically now instead of using build
209 in values. This makes the fit more indepedant of the underlaying
210 rates. With a test of ~350 sequences in the test database it could
211 be shown that the new fit gives the same result +/-1sek.
212 The highest deviation was +5s the lowest -10s. You can now control
213 the bahaviour with two resource values:
214 MHEffectiveOnTime.FistBin: 3
215 MHEffectiveOnTime.NumEvents: 12000
216 Use FirstBin=1 and NumEvents=120 to fit the effective on time
217 from the resulting gamma candidates
218
219 - star: The Center histogram in MHHillas is now by default displayed
220 with the colz draw-option
221
222 - ganymed: now produces valid error codes if failed
223
224 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts now supports a hadronness cut. Switch it on
225 with the option "hadronness" instead of "area" or "both" if
226 you want to use both cuts. The hadronness cut includes a fixed
227 cut in hadronness (index 8) and a fixed cut in size (index 9).
228
229 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts: fixed abug introduced 2005/7/14 which caused
230 the M3Long of the anti source to be not properly evaluated
231 (actually is was evaluated as a unique random number) in case
232 of optimization with anti-theta cut switched on. This might have
233 lead to improper, but not necessarily wrong, optimization results.
234
235 - ganymed: ganymed_onoff.rc, ganymed_wobble.rc - updated with comments
236 how to use random forest
237
238 - ganymed: use the same spark cuts as in ganymed_wobble.rc as in
239 ganymed_onoff.rc. Seems to be unintentional that they were different.
240
241 - sponde: Since the introduction of the possibility to define a
242 normalization energy instead of using the integral the default
243 was not using the integral anymore but a normalization energy of
244 1GeV. It is now the integral again.
245
246 - sponde: Fixed a problem in the weighting which did not allow
247 a MC slope of -1.
248
249
250
251 *** Version 0.9.6 (2006/05/24)
252
253 - general: changed the binning of the azimuthal profile of the camera
254 such that it is aligned with the 60deg boundaries.
255
256 - merpp: better handling of problems with the TH, TD part of the
257 CC-REPORT for files older than 200507190 and 200412210
258 respectively
259
260 - merpp: improved handling of RECEIVERS-COM-ERROR in CC-REPORT
261
262 - merpp: implementd latest changes in starguider reports (sinc 9th May)
263
264 - callisto: if an arrival time is extracted outside the fadc range is
265 was set to the boundary before. Now a random number is assigned
266 instead to avoid unfortunate coincidences of arrival times just
267 by this arbitrary value.
268
269 - callisto: added a new option to callisto.rc which allows
270 to set the maximum arrival time difference allowed for the
271 badpixel algorithm to determin whether a pixels belongs to a shower:
272 MJCalibrateSignal.MBadPixelsTreat.MaxArrivalTimeDiff: 0.9
273
274 - callisto: changed the old value (0.5) for MaxArrivalTimeDiff
275 to 0.9 as suggested by Stefan due to a recent study on the fraction
276 of pixels surviving the image cleaning
277
278 - callisto: switched off error in case of "pulse is too much to the left"
279
280 - callisto: The extraction window is not adapted anymore. This means that
281 the pulse is extracted from the full range. The draw-back is that the
282 background (pedestal) will become slightly higher. Switching on/off
283 the PulsePosCheck in the callisto.rc only effects filling the
284 histograms.
285 WARNING: If the pulse is too much to the left data is calibrated!
286 Check the PulsePosCheck-PulsePosition AND the Inhomogeneity parameter
287 in the database to make sure that your data is valid!
288
289 - star: Show also the number of stars correlated correctly by the
290 starguider
291
292 - ganymed: implemented a new class (MHThetaSqN) which allows to use more
293 than one off-source region in wobble-mode. To use it add the following to
294 your ganymed_wobble.rc:
295 + MJCut.NameHist: MHThetaSqN (switch the new feature on)
296 + MHThetaSqN.NumOffSourcePos: 3 (define number of off-regions)
297 + MHThetaSqN.DoOffCut: Yes,No (switch on/off the off-cut)
298 + Cut1.ThetaCut: None
299 + MHThetaSqN.SignificanceCutLevel: 2.0 (increase off-cut by 2.0/1.7)
300
301 - ganymed: in the case the latest report is older than a default (currently
302 one minute) and the current report will be skip the starguider
303 correction and calibration will be reset. The maximum age can be
304 setup from ganymed.rc by (minutes):
305 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAge: 1.5
306
307 - ganymed: A first implementation showing all size-bins for the theta-sq
308 resp. alpha-plots in a single tab automatically
309
310
311
312 *** Version 0.9.5.1 (2006/05/05)
313
314 - general: Added a new option "zdiff" to the Makefile which runs
315 "cvs diff" as "make diff" would do, but with compression
316
317 - general: accelerated MTFillMatrix (used for eample in all training
318 and optimization macros) by skipping some obsolete calles in the
319 eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
320
321 - general: Added a missing feature in the MFilterList class which
322 prevented MFEnergySlope from working correctly in trainenergy.C
323
324 - general: Accelerated the random forest training and usage a bit
325
326 - merpp: Adapted to new raw data file format version 6
327
328 - merpp: fixed a problem with reading the starguider reports
329 after 6.3.2006
330
331 - callisto: At some times six pixels had to be exchanged manually in the
332 data. If the pixels to be swaped are both not found, an error was raised
333 and calibration was stopped. Now it is assumed they are intentially not
334 mapped and the Error has been changed to a Warning.
335
336 - star: Added new image cleaning based on the arrival time of the shower.
337 The new cleaning can be accessed using the parameter "Time" instead of
338 the the old one (like "Absolute) in the star.rc-file.
339 Recommended parameters:
340 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel1: 8.2
341 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel2: 5
342 + MImgCleanStd.CleanRings: 2
343 + MImgCleanStd.KeepSinglePixels: No
344
345 - star: Simplified the calculation of the effective on time. By letting
346 the fit start in the third bin the result should become more stable.
347 The fit quality is now ignored for the theta-plot which is not used
348 in the analysis later. Still better pre-cut which, for example,
349 remove events triggered by car-light (rate changing on a short
350 time-scale) are missing.
351
352 - macros: optimonoff.C, optimwobble.C: implemented a new strategy
353 for optimization (kWeakSource) which is suggested by the Berlin
354 people for weak sources.
355
356 - macros: plotdb.C:
357 + if no dataset and no time-interval is given only sequences with
358 an effective on-time above five minutes are plotted anymore
359 + added a new tab "RelTime" displaying the relative on-time
360 (effective on-time divided by the observation time)
361
362 - macros: optim*.C: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop
363 the optimization became a lot faster
364
365 - ganymed: In the second loop the MHNewImagePar histograms disapeared.
366 To display them just delete the pads displayed on top.
367
368 - ganymed: fixed a bug which could cause strange behaviour in wobble
369 mode if no starguider information was available due to an incorrect
370 initialization of the starguider calibration
371
372 - ganymed: The scale region in the False Source Plot (MHDisp) can now
373 be changed from within the plot. It can also be setup from the
374 resource file using:
375 + MHDisp.fScaleMin: 0.325
376 + MHDisp.fScaleMax: 0.475
377
378 - ganymed, showplot: Fixed a problem with the fit to the off-data
379 (HistOff) which could cause a time lag or an inifinite loop.
380 The bug did not effect the results at all.
381
382 - sponde: Added a new tab showing the effective collection area after
383 trigger (including the software trigger)
384
385 - sponde: MMcSpectrumWeight has a new option which allows to define
386 the scaling factor not by the integral of the events but at
387 a defined energy:
388 e.g. MMcSpectrumWeight.NormEnergy: 200
389
390 - MTFillMatrix, sponde: by skipping some obsolete calles in the
391 eventloops the loop could be accelerated by ~20%
392
393
394
395 *** Version 0.9.5 (2006/03/13)
396
397 - macros: fixed a typo optimwoble.C (SetThetaCut instead SetAlphaCut)
398 and added the standard Disp-parametrization
399
400 - macros: added a new macro datacenter/macros/plotstat.C allowing
401 to plot statistics about the data processing
402
403 - macros: added a new macro to plot the muon correction coefficients
404 versus period (macros/plot/mucal.C)
405
406 - showplot: path inflation for ganymed files was broken
407
408 - callisto: Fixed an important bug. When the number of saturating pixels
409 were calculated the bad pixel information already available from the
410 calibration was ignored. This yields wrong values in case pixels
411 are broken and saturate all the time or randomly.
412
413 - callisto: Updated Muon calibration constants. Spline data now also uses
414 different values for different periods
415
416 - star: The time-evolution shown in the effective on-time plot now displays
417 the axis range (if there are no holes it should be similar to the
418 effective on-time)
419
420 - star: Added two new image parameters:
421 + MNewImagePar.fConcCOG: The ratio of the equivalent signals of
422 the three pixels next to the center of gravity and the size
423 + MNewImagePar.fConcCore: The ratio of the signals of all
424 pixels inside or touching the ellipse and the size
425
426 - ganymed: now stops in requested source isn't found in catalog file
427
428 - ganymed: Many improvements to the phi-plot in wobble mode:
429 + with a template the ideal background is displayed
430 + a possible camera inhomogeneity is taken into account
431 + the anti theta cut is better supported
432 + the phi cut is automatically calculated from the theta cut
433 See the examples in ganymed_wobble.rc for more details.
434
435 - ganymed: fixed plot for E^2*dN/dE. The spectrum was multiplied with two
436 times the bin-width instead of the absolute energy
437
438 - ganymed: New cuts for on/off and wobble mode
439
440 - ganymed: The smearing of the False Source plot has been increased
441 to 0.06
442
443 - ganymed: The starguider calibration can now be changed from the
444 resource file.
445 See the examples in ganymed*.rc for more details.
446
447 - ganymed: added a new option for on-/off-observations
448 MJCut.RandomSourcePosition
449 If switched on the distribution of observation time of the source
450 position in the camera is calculated from the on-data and randomly
451 applied with this distrbution to the off-data.
452
453 - ganymed: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the
454 first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
455
456 - ganymed: The default in ganymed_onoff.rc is now to determin the source
457 position in the off-data randomly according to its distribution in the
458 on-data.
459
460
461
462 *** Version 0.9.4.3 (2006/02/13)
463
464 - general: Fixed a bug in most of the programs which prevented the
465 compile date in the startup message to be displayed
466
467 - general: Simplified program calls. The following abbreviations
468 are now possible:
469 showlog callisto 55599
470 showplot signal 55599
471 star 55599
472 callisto 55999
473 ganymed 2
474 In this cases the corrsponding root-, log-, sequence- or dataset-
475 filename is automatically compiled using the default datacenter
476 paths ("/magic/*")
477
478 - general: Fixed a long outstanding bug which made axis tick marks
479 disappear if MDataFormula was used (eg. abs(x))
480
481 - general: Updated MMath with new functions to calculate the results of
482 a exponential, logarithmic and powerlaw fits analytically.
483
484 - general: Updated some macros with comments:
485 + macros/optim/optimdisp.C
486 + macros/optim/optimenergy.C
487 + macros/optim/optimwobble.C:
488
489 - general: MTFillMatrix (the class to fill one or two MHMatrix from
490 files) now allows adding a pre-cut like in the optimization. E.g. this
491 is useful to perform g/h-separation cuts before training the random
492 forest.
493
494 - general: Between the rund 53300 and 68754 the pixels 553-558 were not
495 correctly assigned in the raw data assignement table. A fix to correct
496 the assignment tabel have been implemented.
497
498 - general: MAstroCatalog now allows rotating of the sky-grid and stars
499 by 90, 180 and 270 deg.
500
501 - general: the macro plotdb.C now allows to highlight sequences belonging
502 to a datset. For more details see the descritions in the macro.
503
504 - StatusDisplay: Fixed the algorithm to calculate the size ratio
505 of the display, it gave wrong results espacially for big sizes.
506 Now the embedded canvas should always have a ratio width/height=3/2.
507 The "Size" options have been updated with values fitting the 3/2
508 size ratio.
509
510 - RanForest:
511 + Updated the random forest classes to support also the
512 regression method implemented by Thomas H.
513 + added new tutorial macro how to train the random forest
514 for energy estimation (macros/optim/rfenergyest.C)
515 + new classes to train the random forest (still in development)
516 mjtrain/MJTrainEnergy, mjtrain/MJTrainDisp, mjtrain/MJTrainSeparation
517 + new tutorial macros for random forest training in macros/train
518 trainenergy.C, traindisp.C, trainseparation.C
519
520 - mars: now allows to setup a cut in the resource file mars.rc to choose
521 the events to be displayed, eg:
522 Cut.Condition: {0} && {1}
523 Cut.0: MHillas.fSize>100
524 Cut.1: MHillas.fSize<900
525
526 - merpp: Made aware of the new .rep format 200510250. This includes
527 interpretation of the Receiver Board Temperatures (MCameraRecTemp),
528 the discriminator thresholds (MCameraTD) and the disciminator
529 delays (MCameraTD). All of them come with the CC report and are therefor
530 written to the CC tree.
531
532 - callisto: fixed a bug in the calculation of the arrival times in
533 the Digital Filter. They were all shifted by the same amount
534 fHiGainFirst. This caused an offset in the order of the position of
535 the left border of the extraction window in the times calculated
536 from high-gain and from low-gain. The bug effected only the absolute
537 arrival times. The bug was there since 30.1.2005.
538
539 - callisto: Changed the ExtractionWindow for the pulse position check
540 such that the camera inhomogeneity becomes as less as possible and
541 comparable to the pulso position check switched off. More details
542 on the study will be given at our result web-page.
543
544 - ganymed: ganymed.rc, ganymed_onoff.rc:
545 changed to new cuts trained with 1ES1218 and Crab-data
546 for maximum sigma*log10(excess)
547
548 - ganymed: In addition to the Hadronness calculator (CalcHadronness)
549 a new option was implemented to estimate Disp (CalcDisp)
550
551 - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow
552 to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files
553 --ins=/magic/sequences
554 and where to search for the image data
555 --ind=/magic/data/star
556
557 - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing
558 dx/dy from the resource file by
559 MSrcPosCorrect.Dx
560 MSrcPosCorrect.Dy
561
562 - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars
563 as the requested source name had were compared (If a source
564 "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304"
565 were requested it could happen that the coordinates of
566 "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed
567 in addition to its name to the logging output.
568
569 - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function
570 from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement
571 for on-only analysis'
572
573 - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy-
574 bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17)
575
576 - sponde: Added a plot E^2*dN/dE
577
578 - sponde: The energy estimator plot should now show values like
579 they are commonly used.
580
581 - sponde: Now MMcSpectrumWeight also excepts formulas with two X
582 (a powerlaw with cutoff didn't work before)
583
584
585
586 *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01)
587
588 - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C:
589 how to calculate the threshold
590
591 - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with
592 MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino
593 and MagicReversi)
594
595 - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise
596
597 - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0
598
599 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new
600 resource file resources/calibration.rc
601
602 - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping
603 the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the
604 automatic processing
605
606 - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information
607 developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than
608 the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important
609 for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old
610 treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the
611 arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken)
612
613 - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the
614 decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower
615 information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation
616 further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal
617 do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel
618 beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the
619 pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal.
620 By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the
621 corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can
622 be supressed.
623
624 - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated)
625 got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed.
626 (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel
627 content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning
628 algorithm)
629
630 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal
631 extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly)
632 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm).
633 (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been
634 introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two
635 types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects
636 the first seconds of data of each sequence.
637
638 - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation
639 of the parameters could be made independant of the noise
640 (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search
641 extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully
642 understood.
643
644 - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case,
645 because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they
646 are sorted by their sequence number.
647
648 - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut
649
650 - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed.
651
652
653
654 *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18)
655
656 - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of
657 inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate
658 fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled #
659 histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely.
660
661 - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms
662 calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails
663 it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast.
664
665 - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode.
666 Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results.
667
668
669
670 *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05)
671
672 - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the
673 MC binning
674
675 - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in
676 April (MSrcPosCorrect)
677
678 - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly
679
680 - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm
681
682 - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes
683
684 - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly
685
686 - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and
687 marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog
688
689 - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically
690 ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly
691 represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading
692 of the subsystem data
693
694 - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also
695 Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset.
696
697 - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo.
698 It gave wrong results by 1./2pi
699
700 - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too
701
702 - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment
703
704 - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available
705
706 - mars: show muon parameters graphically
707
708 - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline
709 argument
710
711 - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190
712 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the
713 counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file
714 (MCameraHV).
715
716 - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated
717 by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070)
718
719 - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context
720 menu, eg in the TBrowser
721
722 - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to
723 - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline)
724 - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
725 This is important mainly for timing studies.
726
727 - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from
728 - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst)
729 - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast)
730 - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst)
731 - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast)
732 Introduced new limits:
733 - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05
734 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5
735 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5
736
737 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter
738 has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special
739 for Monte Carlo calibrations.
740
741 - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference
742 for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05)
743
744 - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain
745 was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the
746 fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable.
747 This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain
748 channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough
749 to make the distribution reliable.
750
751 - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now,
752 the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too
753 high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices
754 saturated and produced wrong limits.
755
756 - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc:
757 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes
758 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes
759 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes
760 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes
761
762 - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration,
763 the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096
764 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more
765 than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the
766 mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some
767 calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more
768 than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where
769 a good precision is needed.
770
771 - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of
772 photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly).
773
774 - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor
775 method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but
776 more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain
777 changes.
778
779 - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data
780 as calculated by MPedestalY2
781
782 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and
783 unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is
784 calculated from interleaved events
785
786 - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to
787 be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the
788 best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value
789 was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another
790 task
791
792 - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate
793
794 - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean
795 DC currents
796
797 - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean
798 Pedestal Rms
799
800 - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider
801
802 - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant
803 for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth
804 plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf
805 became pedestal rms dependant
806
807 - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in
808 http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/
809
810 - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in
811 May/April 05
812
813 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable:
814 ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc
815
816 - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released
817
818 - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize
819
820 - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number
821 of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of
822 total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram
823
824 - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp
825
826 - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function:
827 The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor
828 sqrt(2) to large
829
830 - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp
831 and a background model determined in the first loop is
832 subtracted
833
834 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct
835 solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using
836 the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped.
837
838 - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is
839 already determined by the third moment along the major axis and
840 so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower.
841
842 - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account
843 when calculating the source position. This is especially important
844 for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data.
845
846 - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as
847 good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch
848 it off add
849 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1
850 to your ganymed.rc
851
852 - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of
853 choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest
854 and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use...
855
856 - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold
857
858
859
860 *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03)
861
862 - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should
863 have no influence on compatibility with older camera files
864
865 - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows
866 to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree)
867 before any other tree.
868
869 - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the
870 run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such
871 that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated
872 correctly.
873
874 - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window
875
876 - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which
877 allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or
878 (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of
879 the run stored in the runheader.
880
881 - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in
882 MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was
883 already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
884
885 - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
886 now changes the filename for new weights automatically for
887 cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors.
888
889 - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the
890 name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored.
891 Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead
892 of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc.
893
894 - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is
895 explicitly set also for pretty new runs
896
897 - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows
898 to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1)
899 to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from
900 the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor
901 is fixed to 1
902
903 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit
904 more accurate now
905
906 - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different
907 pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into
908 account - not only kUnsuitableRun
909
910 - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default
911
912 - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2.
913 This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg
914 arrival times) are calculated more accuratly.
915
916 - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
917 MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0
918
919 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants
920 hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root
921
922 - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents
923 from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt
924
925 - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit
926 has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very
927 ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image
928 cleaning around them (Markus G.)
929
930 - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has
931 suggested that different extractors give slightly different
932 absolute results after calibration, due to there different
933 handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although
934 the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or
935 the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated).
936 There for correction factors have been introduced which correct
937 the calibration constants by
938 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
939 and
940 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc)
941 calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can
942 be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample.
943 The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a
944 Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
945
946 - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms
947 vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results
948 on the screen. The output and all following programs not
949 directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected
950
951 - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event
952 is read and Processed before the first data event was read.
953
954 - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard
955 false source plot with a different one. For example: If
956 you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource:
957 NameHistFS: MHDisp
958 For details about the requirements of these plots look
959 at the corresponding classes
960
961 - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize
962 has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead
963 of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this
964 case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization
965 MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call
966 RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize
967 has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy
968
969 - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a
970 different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For
971 more details see the class description and sponde.rc
972
973 - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by
974 their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using
975 the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum
976 and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut
977 normalization is normally wrong.
978
979
980
981 *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20)
982
983 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
984 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
985
986 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
987 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
988
989 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
990 because ProcessFile is missleading
991
992 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
993
994 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
995 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
996 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
997
998 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
999 versions newer than V200404070
1000
1001 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
1002 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
1003 (MCameraCentralPixel)
1004
1005 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
1006 (MHVsSize)
1007
1008 - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics
1009
1010 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
1011 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
1012 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
1013 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
1014 can be canged
1015
1016 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
1017 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
1018 using showlog.
1019
1020 - showplot: improved
1021 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
1022 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
1023 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
1024 the printing command from the command line you can use all
1025 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
1026 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
1027 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
1028 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
1029
1030 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
1031 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
1032 intensity has been updated in some cases)
1033
1034 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
1035 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
1036 been taken with Pin Diode.
1037
1038 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
1039 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
1040
1041 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
1042 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
1043
1044 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
1045 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
1046 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
1047 of the cosmisc
1048
1049 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
1050 from 2.5 to 4.5
1051
1052 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
1053 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump
1054 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
1055 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
1056
1057 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
1058 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
1059 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
1060 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
1061 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
1062 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
1063 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
1064 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
1065 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
1066 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
1067 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
1068 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
1069 they are a lot slower)
1070 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
1071 random memory access it might by completely random!
1072
1073 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
1074 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
1075 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
1076
1077 - callisto:
1078 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
1079 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
1080 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
1081 Default: -9.0 +4.5
1082 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
1083
1084 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
1085 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
1086
1087 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
1088 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
1089 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
1090 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
1091 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
1092 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
1093 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
1094 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
1095
1096 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
1097 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
1098
1099 - callisto: for the common extractors
1100 + MExtractFixedWindow
1101 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
1102 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
1103 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
1104 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
1105 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
1106
1107 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
1108 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
1109 hilocalib_df6.root
1110
1111 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
1112 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
1113 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
1114
1115 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
1116 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
1117 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
1118 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
1119 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
1120 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
1121 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
1122
1123 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
1124 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
1125 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
1126 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
1127 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
1128 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
1129
1130 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
1131
1132 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
1133 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
1134
1135 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
1136 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
1137 changed only minimally
1138
1139 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
1140 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
1141 MJSpectrum (sponde)
1142
1143 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
1144 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
1145 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
1146 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
1147
1148 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
1149 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
1150
1151
1152
1153 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
1154
1155 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
1156 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
1157 by 0.2 slices)
1158
1159 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
1160 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
1161

1163 also done with a intercalibration input file
1164
1165 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
1166

1178
1179 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
1180 which is more than 5 times the variance
1181
1182 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
1183
1184 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
1185 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
1186
1187 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
1188 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
1189
1190 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
1191 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
1192
1193 - update the reference lines for the december data
1194
1195 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
1196 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
1197 pulse position changes much.
1198
1199 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
1200 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
1201 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
1202
1203 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
1204 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
1205 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
1206 runs a lot.
1207
1208 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
1209 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
1210
1211 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
1212 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
1213 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
1214 than with old versions (wrong units))
1215
1216 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
1217 formats are still unsupported by root)
1218
1219 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
1220 for automatic processing
1221
1222
1223
1224 *** Version 0.9 (2005/03/23)

1244 MReportStarguider and MTimeStarguider
1245
1246 - Fixed bug in MHHadronness.cc which made that the displayed Q-factor
1247 values were lower than they should. This was more visible for high
1248 energy (Size) events.
1249
1250 - Made MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter the default for callisto
1251
1252 - added a new loop to callisto to support the correct extraction of

1271
1272 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
1273
1274 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
1275 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
1276 the slices by statistics
1277 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
1278 signal extractor without randomization
1279 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
1280 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
1281 randomly fixed)
1282 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
1283 long as nobody really needs it:
1284 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
1285 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
1286
1287 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
1288
1289 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
1290 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
1291 roughly 0.5%
1292
1293 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
1294 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
1295 batch mode possible:
1296 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
1297
1298 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
1299 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)

1302 camera files.
1303
1304 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
1305
1306 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
1307 accurate now
1308
1309 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored

1376 version 4)
1377
1378 - implemented an new option in merpp (--auto-time) to get the time
1379 range for cc and/or caco data from the run header of the raw data
1380
1381 - New star-program (star and MJStar). Taking calibrated data from

1398 MHTimeDiffTheta.
1399
1400 - added the possibility to count how often a signal is above (or
1401 below) a certain threshold in MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot (this
1402 can replace MHTriggerLvl0)

1478 slices in the maximum window
1479
1480 - added a new macro call pointspreadfucntion.C that fits with a 2D
1481 gaussian the DC spot for an star. It gives you the RMS of
1482 the PSF and the center of the star, very useful for misspointing
1483 studies.
1484
1485 - added support for multi-telescope camera files. Added classes
1486 MStereoCalc and MStereoPar, classes to calculate and store shower
1487 parameters calculated from the data of two telescopes, for the MC
1488 studies regarding the MAGIC clone.
1489
1490 - added MMcCalibrationCalc, MMcCalibrationUpdate, classes to obtain
1491 MC data calibrated in photons instead of ADC counts.
1492
1493 - added three macros to show the calibration and analysis chain of
1494 MC data. The macro starmc.C does both calibration and analysis, producing
1495 an output containing Hillas parameters for each event. The macro
1496 mccalibrate.C does just the calibration and writes out a file containing

1554 - added classes to read and interprete central control report files
1555 (Directory: mreport, Base-Class: MReport, Reader: MReportFileRead, ...)
1556
1557 - enhanced merpp (the executable) to support .raw and .rep files.
1558
1559 - added classes for light calibration (MCalibration* and
1560 MHCalibration*) by Markus Gaug. Further work has to be and will
1561 be done soon.
1562
1563 - Added a preliminary 'synchronizer' (MReadReports) which will
1564 replace MReadMarsFile as soon as it is finished.

1567 and how they can be read from the root file in the correct order
1568 of time (readrep.C)
1569
1570 - Added a generalized histogram (similar to MH3) called MVsTime
1571 which allows to plot variables (or rules - MDataChain - of
1572 variables) vs time. For an example have a look at tempvstime.C.
1573
1574 - Changed the name of the event trees:
1575 + Events --> Events

1673
1674 - added a new status display which can show the present status
1675 of histograms while an eventloop is running (MStatusDisplay,
1676 an example can be found at status.C)
1677

1714 CT1 camera (a pixel 127 doesn't exist and the pixel 126 didn't
1715 have any neighbour)
1716
1717 - changed trigrate.C: now it calculates the pure NSB triggers from

1771 its setup to a file. This information can be read and from
1772 it you can (re)create a Macro. See MEvtLoop::Read, MEvtLoop::Write
1773 and MEvtLoop::MakeMacro. If you find something not working, please
1774 report - this stuff is still in a beta phase.
1775
1776 - MBlindPixelCalc set all Ceta-Tauri pixels to unused not only for the
1777 file having crab starfield, but also for all following files - fixed
1778

1803
1804 *** Version 0.7 (2002/04/30)
1805
1806 - added a bugfix to MCerPhotCalc. In older camera versions (<=40)
1807 the pedestal mean value was saved incorrectly. For files from
1808 this versions we substract 0.5 from the pedestal mean.
1809 WARNING: This may effect your results, so don't wonder...
1810
1811 - First implementation of an algorithm using only triggered events
1812 for the collection area calculation

1821 ascii file
1822
1823 - You can now specify a conversion factor for each data member written
1824 to an ascii file. This may be usefull to change the units of the
1825 data member (eg. degrees instead of millimeters in case of the
1826 hillas parameters)
1827
1828 - Replaced old MHillas by a new structure which allows you to extend
1829 the parameters stored in MHillas very easily:
1830 see MHillas and MHillasExt

1833 see MHillasSrc
1834
1835 - Added container (MBinning) to have a standard input for the binning

1862
1863 - Added:
1864 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
1865 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
1866 they are needed in the flux calculation in
1867 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
1868 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
1869 of Theta and the true energy
1870
1871 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
1872 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
1873 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
