3 *** <cvs>
4
5 - database: Website to plot values from the database has been added.
6
7 - general: The changes to the interpretation of phrases lead to
8 a problem with the access of MHMatrix objects (eg. "M[0]")... fixed.
9
10 - general: Added a possibility to display grouped data in the plotdb.C
11 macro (and similar macros). This allows to plot hourly, nightly,
12 weekly, monthly and yearly averages.
13 For more details see the plotall function of the macro
14
15 - general: fixed the error display of the camera display. It showed
16 wrong results.
17
18 - general: fixed a memory leak when reading many MStatusDisplays
19
20 - callisto: We have a new pulse position check which takes the properties
21 of the extractor automatically into account. So no need to set
22 ExtractWinLeft/Right anymore. Again a check for pulses too much to the
23 left is done. If possible the lo-gain extraction start and hi-gain
24 extraction end is changed accordingly. If no proper extraction range
25 can be set (hi-gain too much to the left) an error is raised.
26
27 - callisto: Redone the signal extraction this includes:
28 + Unified the algorithms to extract the pedestal for all pedestal
29 extractions done
30 + Unification of hi- and lo-gain into one array
31 + Unification of hi- and lo-gain extraction for Spline and
32 Digital Filter (means now exactly the same algorithm is used,
33 not a copy-and-pasted one)
34 + Store pedestal subtracted data in a common place
35 + Improved extraction algorithms. If the algorithms search a
36 maximum but don't find one they don't return the maximum anymore
37 + Improved the extraction such that a information for signal
38 and time which is consistent is returned
39 + replaced the numerical spline with a (not slower) analytical
40 solution
41 + Lowered the saturation limit from 250 to 245 to make sure that
42 we are far away in all pixels from problems with the clock-noise
43 + The start of the lo-gain extraction is calculated from the hi-gain
44 arrival time. In case of saturation an estimation is used.
45 + the hi-gain window was extended to slice 16. This allows extraction
46 of very late pulses in single pixels or of huge hadron showers.
47
48 - callisto: New hi-/lo-gain calibration constants have been produced
49 for all periods from the statistic of the whole period. They are
50 now used automatically depending on the periods. The old constants
51 where deviation in avarega about 2%-3%. The constants are very
52 stable from period to period (<<1%) except for exchanged channels.
53 In a few cases the constants used so far were off by 1%-2% (maybe
54 temperature effects?)
55
56 - callisto: To gain obsolete space we do not write the
57 MPedestalFundamental anymore. Also calibration and bad pixel
58 treatment is not done for it anymore because it has never been used.
59
60 - callisto: Fixed a bug in the seuqence handling which caused the
61 light condition to be ignored
62
63 - optim: fixed a problem with the optim-macros which was due to a bug
64 in the new phrase parsing
65
66 - ganymed: To get a nice FalseSource plot (instead of the all-information
67 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
68 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
69 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
70 the other options)
71 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!
72
73 - ganymed/optim/train: The cut program, trainings- and optimization
74 macros could run with less files found than expected from the
75 sequence-files. No the execution is stopped in this case.
76
77 - ganymed: now stores the dataset in the output file with all information
78 contained (as sequence number, sequence path, data path) so that the
79 used dataset file can be recreated complete from the output
80
81 - sponde: now also allows the uasge of random forest
82
83 - sponde: added a plot showing the cut efficiency
84
85 - sponde: Using root versions < 5.13/04 still resulted in wrong binomial
86 errors (eg. effecting the collection area) because the errors of the
87 two histograms were swapped in the calculation, which makes a difference
88 in the case the histograms contains weighted events. Aditionally the
89 totalarea was incorrectly taken into account, which results in too small
90 errors, which makes a difference at low statistics were the errors
91 or the collection area dominate.
92
93
94
95 *** Version 0.10.3 (2006/10/23)
96
97 - database: Implemented ObservationMode flag in websites.
98
99 - database: For sequences there is now also the stoptime available on the
100 websites.
101
102 - database: Removed ManuallyChanged flag from sequence-info websites,
103 as it is not needed anymore with the new sequence building algorithm.
104
105 - general: MRolke.[cc,h]: Modification of TRolke from root_v5.12.00b.
106 Class for calculation of confidence intervals (upper limits).
107 Use model 3 or 4 for upper limit calculation for MAGIC observations.
108 Please read the class instruction of TRolke for more information.
109
110 - general: The programs now return 0xfe if the requested resource file
111 doesn't exist.
112
113 - general: Errors comming from root itself are now not output to
114 stderr anymore but to our default (colored) log-stream.
115
116 - general: Changed the interface to TFormula such that now everything
117 is parsed by TFormula, which should allow to use phrases even
118 without paranthesis correctly parsed.
119
120 - callisto: replaced the AdHoc number of effective integration slices
121 in the digital filter by an average of the correct number, averaged
122 over all possible set of weights. This also gives correct numbers
123 for the lo-gains which were totally wrong before.
124
125 - callisto: drastically reduced memory consumption by not storing
126 all intermediate calibration results in memory anymore (we might
127 write them into a file in the future)
128
129 - ganymed: To get a nice Theta-Sq plot (instead of the all-information
130 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
131 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
132 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
133 the "DrawAll" option)
134 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!
135
136
137
138 *** Version 0.10.2 (2006/10/15)
139
140 - general: changed the building of the sequence files such, that
141 the source-/project name in case of wobble-sources is not the
142 source/project of the first data run anymore but the new generalized
143 wobble source/project
144
145 - general: Added some functions to MAstro to calculate sun and
146 moon properties
147
148 - general: Added two new macros (starvisday.C and starvisyear.C)
149 which allow to plot the visibility of several stars in one day
150 or of one star along one year
151
152
153
154 *** Version 0.10.1 (2006/10/11)
155
156 - general: HTML logging output was distorted... fixed.
157
158 - general: Changed the writing of the sequencefiles such that only
159 as many pedestal files as giving at least 1000 pedestal events which
160 are nearby the first calibration run are used as pedestal runs
161
162 - sponde: In the calculation of the collection area(s) and the
163 distribution for MOnte Carlo and estimated energy the error
164 calculation was wrong because root didn't take the errors
165 properly into account... fixed.
166
167
168
169 *** Version 0.10 (2006/10/10)
170
171 - general: all executables now check consistency of the root version
172 installed with the root version used for compilation. The return
173 code in this case is 255.
174
175 - general: The algorithm to build seqeunces has been redesigned
176 completly. It is now more flexible in terms of a resource file
177 resources/sequences.rc which can be used to partly overwrite
178 the default algorithm and defined the important part of the
179 algorithm. It also takes correctly into account several ways
180 of taking wobble-data. Currently the new algorithm doesn't take
181 the number of pedestal events anymore into account (so a sequence
182 could have much less than 1000 pedestal events and data runs are
183 no-more used instead)
184
185 - general: a lot of small changes to make the code compatible with
186 root 5.12/00 and gcc 4.1
187
188 - general: Fixed some warnings thrown if more warnings are switched
189 on in the compiler
190
191 - general: Added a function to MMath which returns the Median of
192 the distribution abs(y[i]-median) but at 68:32 division instead
193 of 50:50, which is somehow the median counterpart of the rms.
194
195 - general: MAstroCatalog allows now to read calatog files (as bsc5)
196 even if they are compressed with gzip (recommended compression
197 is with "-1")
198
199 - showplot:
200 + batch mode creation of image files now works with root 5.12/00
201 + added support for writing bmp (though it never produces
202 bmp which can be read by programs like xv or gimp)
203 + added support for xml
204 + added new option to start the display with a different size, by
205 --display-width=nnn or --display-height=nnn
206 + added options to define the canvas size when the display is started
207 --canvas-width=nnn or --canvas-height=nnn
208 the option can also be used for batch-mode conversion
209 + added an option which automatically fits the display size to the
210 desktop-size: --auto-size
211
212 - merpp: didn't recognize files with the extension .raw.gz - fixed.
213
214 - merpp: allow the reports to have 1000ms due to a bug in the camera
215 program.
216
217 - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected. For
218 details see MRawRunHeader::FixAssignment()
219
220 - callisto: Callisto now raises an error if one of the input files could
221 not be opened.
222
223 - callisto: In some rare cases it could happen that in the signal
224 extraction of the digital filter the extractor returned nonsense
225 results due a wrong initializion of a variable (this happens in
226 cases in which the extracted signal is exactly zero or the
227 digital filter couldn't slide because of a too small extraction
228 window, which could happen in the lo-gain extraction)
229
230 - callisto: The lo-gains have been marked as valid in some cases
231 when they got not extracted at all (deltsumlo=deltatimelo=0) because
232 the allowed extraction range (fLoGainLast-fLoGainFirst) was
233 smaller than the number of slices (fLoGainWindowSize) needed
234 by the lo-gain extractor
235
236 - callisto: Updated absolute calibration constants (muon calibration)
237
238 - callisto: fixed a bug which caused the hi-gain saturation not
239 to be handled properly in the spline (the position of the
240 saturation was calculated incorrectly)
241
242 - callisto: fixed a bug which gave weird results if hi- _and_
243 lo-gain could not be extracted properly. In some cases hi-
244 and lo-gain have not been extracted at all and the random result
245 got calibrated. In other cases the hi-gain was saturating and the
246 lo-gain has not been extracted. For this a completly arbitraty
247 scale factor was applied to the result from extracting the
248 charge of the saturating hi-gain.
249
250 - callisto: improves handling of extracted signal if lo- and/or
251 hi-gain could not be extracted properly. If no appropriate
252 calibration of either the signal or the arrival time is possible
253 the pixel is now markes as unsuitable instead of estimated.
254
255 - callisto: Fixed a problem in the spline extraction which gave
256 weird results if the signal was extracted from the first (and
257 highest) slice (as a workaround extraction from the first
258 slice has been forbidden)
259
260 - callisto: Fixed a bug regarding the use of the QE which doesn't
261 effect the result because the default is used anyhow.
262 (The bug was there since 14/07/2005)
263
264 - callisto: Changed the default for fgLoGainStartShift to -2.4
265
266 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused all hi-/lo-gain calibration
267 factors to be always 10 for all pixels as soon as the first
268 calibration update has happend.
269
270 - callisto: Fixed the hi-/lo-gain offset for the Digital Filter. It
271 was off by more than one slice (which gives wrong values for
272 pixels which have saturated the hi-gain) This was a problem
273 mainly for timing studies, not so much for the automatic standard
274 analysis. Also the values for the Spline have been changed slightly:
275 + Digital Filter from 1.70 to 0.95
276 + Spline from 1.39 to 1.30
277 The numbers were sorted out by an extensive test in the
278 test-database.
279
280 - callisto: Removed the tab showing the average calibrated arrival
281 time. It never gave useful information.
282
283 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoCal" which shows the ratio between hi- and
284 lo-gain pulse for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain have saturated
285 and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above the
286 LoGainSwitch.
287
288 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoOff" which shows the offset between hi- and
289 lo-gain pulse position (after application of LoGainOffset, which
290 means in the ideal case it is 0) for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain
291 have saturated and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above
292 the LoGainSwitch.
293
294 - callisto: After extensive tests a new threshold level for determination
295 of the pulse position has been found at 50phe. This is due to the
296 fact that for lower pulses the arrival time changes its average
297 behaviour dramatically. It tends to the average of the extraction
298 range and starts sticking to non-floating point numbers (5, 6, 7, ...)
299
300 - callisto: Added two more plots to the calibration part. The average
301 extracted signal and the average extracted arrival time as
302 extracted by the signal extractor (This can help debugging problems
303 because it doesn't involve a fit)
304
305 - star: changed the fit for the effective on time such that initial
306 values are calculated automatically now instead of using build
307 in values. This makes the fit more indepedant of the underlaying
308 rates. With a test of ~350 sequences in the test database it could
309 be shown that the new fit gives the same result +/-1sek.
310 The highest deviation was +5s the lowest -10s. You can now control
311 the bahaviour with two resource values:
312 MHEffectiveOnTime.FistBin: 3
313 MHEffectiveOnTime.NumEvents: 12000
314 Use FirstBin=1 and NumEvents=120 to fit the effective on time
315 from the resulting gamma candidates
316
317 - star: The Center histogram in MHHillas is now by default displayed
318 with the colz draw-option
319
320 - ganymed: now produces valid error codes if failed
321
322 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts now supports a hadronness cut. Switch it on
323 with the option "hadronness" instead of "area" or "both" if
324 you want to use both cuts. The hadronness cut includes a fixed
325 cut in hadronness (index 8) and a fixed cut in size (index 9).
326
327 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts: fixed abug introduced 2005/7/14 which caused
328 the M3Long of the anti source to be not properly evaluated
329 (actually is was evaluated as a unique random number) in case
330 of optimization with anti-theta cut switched on. This might have
331 lead to improper, but not necessarily wrong, optimization results.
332
333 - ganymed: ganymed_onoff.rc, ganymed_wobble.rc - updated with comments
334 how to use random forest
335
336 - ganymed: use the same spark cuts as in ganymed_wobble.rc as in
337 ganymed_onoff.rc. Seems to be unintentional that they were different.
338
339 - sponde: Since the introduction of the possibility to define a
340 normalization energy instead of using the integral the default
341 was not using the integral anymore but a normalization energy of
342 1GeV. It is now the integral again.
343
344 - sponde: Fixed a problem in the weighting which did not allow
345 a MC slope of -1.
346
347
348
349 *** Version 0.9.6 (2006/05/24)
350
351 - general: changed the binning of the azimuthal profile of the camera
352 such that it is aligned with the 60deg boundaries.
353
354 - merpp: better handling of problems with the TH, TD part of the
355 CC-REPORT for files older than 200507190 and 200412210
356 respectively
357
358 - merpp: improved handling of RECEIVERS-COM-ERROR in CC-REPORT
359
360 - merpp: implementd latest changes in starguider reports (sinc 9th May)
361
362 - callisto: if an arrival time is extracted outside the fadc range is
363 was set to the boundary before. Now a random number is assigned
364 instead to avoid unfortunate coincidences of arrival times just
365 by this arbitrary value.
366
367 - callisto: added a new option to callisto.rc which allows
368 to set the maximum arrival time difference allowed for the
369 badpixel algorithm to determin whether a pixels belongs to a shower:
370 MJCalibrateSignal.MBadPixelsTreat.MaxArrivalTimeDiff: 0.9
371
372 - callisto: changed the old value (0.5) for MaxArrivalTimeDiff
373 to 0.9 as suggested by Stefan due to a recent study on the fraction
374 of pixels surviving the image cleaning
375
376 - callisto: switched off error in case of "pulse is too much to the left"
377
378 - callisto: The extraction window is not adapted anymore. This means that
379 the pulse is extracted from the full range. The draw-back is that the
380 background (pedestal) will become slightly higher. Switching on/off
381 the PulsePosCheck in the callisto.rc only effects filling the
382 histograms.
383 WARNING: If the pulse is too much to the left data is calibrated!
384 Check the PulsePosCheck-PulsePosition AND the Inhomogeneity parameter
385 in the database to make sure that your data is valid!
386
387 - star: Show also the number of stars correlated correctly by the
388 starguider
389
390 - ganymed: implemented a new class (MHThetaSqN) which allows to use more
391 than one off-source region in wobble-mode. To use it add the following to
392 your ganymed_wobble.rc:
393 + MJCut.NameHist: MHThetaSqN (switch the new feature on)
394 + MHThetaSqN.NumOffSourcePos: 3 (define number of off-regions)
395 + MHThetaSqN.DoOffCut: Yes,No (switch on/off the off-cut)
396 + Cut1.ThetaCut: None
397 + MHThetaSqN.SignificanceCutLevel: 2.0 (increase off-cut by 2.0/1.7)
398
399 - ganymed: in the case the latest report is older than a default (currently
400 one minute) and the current report will be skip the starguider
401 correction and calibration will be reset. The maximum age can be
402 setup from ganymed.rc by (minutes):
403 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAge: 1.5
404
405 - ganymed: A first implementation showing all size-bins for the theta-sq
406 resp. alpha-plots in a single tab automatically
407
408
409
410 *** Version 0.9.5.1 (2006/05/05)
411
412 - general: Added a new option "zdiff" to the Makefile which runs
413 "cvs diff" as "make diff" would do, but with compression
414
415 - general: accelerated MTFillMatrix (used for eample in all training
416 and optimization macros) by skipping some obsolete calles in the
417 eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
418
419 - general: Added a missing feature in the MFilterList class which
420 prevented MFEnergySlope from working correctly in trainenergy.C
421
422 - general: Accelerated the random forest training and usage a bit
423
424 - merpp: Adapted to new raw data file format version 6
425
426 - merpp: fixed a problem with reading the starguider reports
427 after 6.3.2006
428
429 - callisto: At some times six pixels had to be exchanged manually in the
430 data. If the pixels to be swaped are both not found, an error was raised
431 and calibration was stopped. Now it is assumed they are intentially not
432 mapped and the Error has been changed to a Warning.
433
434 - star: Added new image cleaning based on the arrival time of the shower.
435 The new cleaning can be accessed using the parameter "Time" instead of
436 the the old one (like "Absolute) in the star.rc-file.
437 Recommended parameters:
438 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel1: 8.2
439 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel2: 5
440 + MImgCleanStd.CleanRings: 2
441 + MImgCleanStd.KeepSinglePixels: No
442
443 - star: Simplified the calculation of the effective on time. By letting
444 the fit start in the third bin the result should become more stable.
445 The fit quality is now ignored for the theta-plot which is not used
446 in the analysis later. Still better pre-cut which, for example,
447 remove events triggered by car-light (rate changing on a short
448 time-scale) are missing.
449
450 - macros: optimonoff.C, optimwobble.C: implemented a new strategy
451 for optimization (kWeakSource) which is suggested by the Berlin
452 people for weak sources.
453
454 - macros: plotdb.C:
455 + if no dataset and no time-interval is given only sequences with
456 an effective on-time above five minutes are plotted anymore
457 + added a new tab "RelTime" displaying the relative on-time
458 (effective on-time divided by the observation time)
459
460 - macros: optim*.C: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop
461 the optimization became a lot faster
462
463 - ganymed: In the second loop the MHNewImagePar histograms disapeared.
464 To display them just delete the pads displayed on top.
465
466 - ganymed: fixed a bug which could cause strange behaviour in wobble
467 mode if no starguider information was available due to an incorrect
468 initialization of the starguider calibration
469
470 - ganymed: The scale region in the False Source Plot (MHDisp) can now
471 be changed from within the plot. It can also be setup from the
472 resource file using:
473 + MHDisp.fScaleMin: 0.325
474 + MHDisp.fScaleMax: 0.475
475
476 - ganymed, showplot: Fixed a problem with the fit to the off-data
477 (HistOff) which could cause a time lag or an inifinite loop.
478 The bug did not effect the results at all.
479
480 - sponde: Added a new tab showing the effective collection area after
481 trigger (including the software trigger)
482
483 - sponde: MMcSpectrumWeight has a new option which allows to define
484 the scaling factor not by the integral of the events but at
485 a defined energy:
486 e.g. MMcSpectrumWeight.NormEnergy: 200
487
488 - MTFillMatrix, sponde: by skipping some obsolete calles in the
489 eventloops the loop could be accelerated by ~20%
490
491
492
493 *** Version 0.9.5 (2006/03/13)
494
495 - macros: fixed a typo optimwoble.C (SetThetaCut instead SetAlphaCut)
496 and added the standard Disp-parametrization
497
498 - macros: added a new macro datacenter/macros/plotstat.C allowing
499 to plot statistics about the data processing
500
501 - macros: added a new macro to plot the muon correction coefficients
502 versus period (macros/plot/mucal.C)
503
504 - showplot: path inflation for ganymed files was broken
505
506 - callisto: Fixed an important bug. When the number of saturating pixels
507 were calculated the bad pixel information already available from the
508 calibration was ignored. This yields wrong values in case pixels
509 are broken and saturate all the time or randomly.
510
511 - callisto: Updated Muon calibration constants. Spline data now also uses
512 different values for different periods
513
514 - star: The time-evolution shown in the effective on-time plot now displays
515 the axis range (if there are no holes it should be similar to the
516 effective on-time)
517
518 - star: Added two new image parameters:
519 + MNewImagePar.fConcCOG: The ratio of the equivalent signals of
520 the three pixels next to the center of gravity and the size
521 + MNewImagePar.fConcCore: The ratio of the signals of all
522 pixels inside or touching the ellipse and the size
523
524 - ganymed: now stops in requested source isn't found in catalog file
525
526 - ganymed: Many improvements to the phi-plot in wobble mode:
527 + with a template the ideal background is displayed
528 + a possible camera inhomogeneity is taken into account
529 + the anti theta cut is better supported
530 + the phi cut is automatically calculated from the theta cut
531 See the examples in ganymed_wobble.rc for more details.
532
533 - ganymed: fixed plot for E^2*dN/dE. The spectrum was multiplied with two
534 times the bin-width instead of the absolute energy
535
536 - ganymed: New cuts for on/off and wobble mode
537
538 - ganymed: The smearing of the False Source plot has been increased
539 to 0.06
540
541 - ganymed: The starguider calibration can now be changed from the
542 resource file.
543 See the examples in ganymed*.rc for more details.
544
545 - ganymed: added a new option for on-/off-observations
546 MJCut.RandomSourcePosition
547 If switched on the distribution of observation time of the source
548 position in the camera is calculated from the on-data and randomly
549 applied with this distrbution to the off-data.
550
551 - ganymed: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the
552 first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
553
554 - ganymed: The default in ganymed_onoff.rc is now to determin the source
555 position in the off-data randomly according to its distribution in the
556 on-data.
557
558
559
560 *** Version 0.9.4.3 (2006/02/13)
561
562 - general: Fixed a bug in most of the programs which prevented the
563 compile date in the startup message to be displayed
564
565 - general: Simplified program calls. The following abbreviations
566 are now possible:
567 showlog callisto 55599
568 showplot signal 55599
569 star 55599
570 callisto 55999
571 ganymed 2
572 In this cases the corrsponding root-, log-, sequence- or dataset-
573 filename is automatically compiled using the default datacenter
574 paths ("/magic/*")
575
576 - general: Fixed a long outstanding bug which made axis tick marks
577 disappear if MDataFormula was used (eg. abs(x))
578
579 - general: Updated MMath with new functions to calculate the results of
580 a exponential, logarithmic and powerlaw fits analytically.
581
582 - general: Updated some macros with comments:
583 + macros/optim/optimdisp.C
584 + macros/optim/optimenergy.C
585 + macros/optim/optimwobble.C:
586
587 - general: MTFillMatrix (the class to fill one or two MHMatrix from
588 files) now allows adding a pre-cut like in the optimization. E.g. this
589 is useful to perform g/h-separation cuts before training the random
590 forest.
591
592 - general: Between the rund 53300 and 68754 the pixels 553-558 were not
593 correctly assigned in the raw data assignement table. A fix to correct
594 the assignment tabel have been implemented.
595
596 - general: MAstroCatalog now allows rotating of the sky-grid and stars
597 by 90, 180 and 270 deg.
598
599 - general: the macro plotdb.C now allows to highlight sequences belonging
600 to a datset. For more details see the descritions in the macro.
601
602 - StatusDisplay: Fixed the algorithm to calculate the size ratio
603 of the display, it gave wrong results espacially for big sizes.
604 Now the embedded canvas should always have a ratio width/height=3/2.
605 The "Size" options have been updated with values fitting the 3/2
606 size ratio.
607
608 - RanForest:
609 + Updated the random forest classes to support also the
610 regression method implemented by Thomas H.
611 + added new tutorial macro how to train the random forest
612 for energy estimation (macros/optim/rfenergyest.C)
613 + new classes to train the random forest (still in development)
614 mjtrain/MJTrainEnergy, mjtrain/MJTrainDisp, mjtrain/MJTrainSeparation
615 + new tutorial macros for random forest training in macros/train
616 trainenergy.C, traindisp.C, trainseparation.C
617
618 - mars: now allows to setup a cut in the resource file mars.rc to choose
619 the events to be displayed, eg:
620 Cut.Condition: {0} && {1}
621 Cut.0: MHillas.fSize>100
622 Cut.1: MHillas.fSize<900
623
624 - merpp: Made aware of the new .rep format 200510250. This includes
625 interpretation of the Receiver Board Temperatures (MCameraRecTemp),
626 the discriminator thresholds (MCameraTD) and the disciminator
627 delays (MCameraTD). All of them come with the CC report and are therefor
628 written to the CC tree.
629
630 - callisto: fixed a bug in the calculation of the arrival times in
631 the Digital Filter. They were all shifted by the same amount
632 fHiGainFirst. This caused an offset in the order of the position of
633 the left border of the extraction window in the times calculated
634 from high-gain and from low-gain. The bug effected only the absolute
635 arrival times. The bug was there since 30.1.2005.
636
637 - callisto: Changed the ExtractionWindow for the pulse position check
638 such that the camera inhomogeneity becomes as less as possible and
639 comparable to the pulso position check switched off. More details
640 on the study will be given at our result web-page.
641
642 - ganymed: ganymed.rc, ganymed_onoff.rc:
643 changed to new cuts trained with 1ES1218 and Crab-data
644 for maximum sigma*log10(excess)
645
646 - ganymed: In addition to the Hadronness calculator (CalcHadronness)
647 a new option was implemented to estimate Disp (CalcDisp)
648
649 - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow
650 to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files
651 --ins=/magic/sequences
652 and where to search for the image data
653 --ind=/magic/data/star
654
655 - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing
656 dx/dy from the resource file by
657 MSrcPosCorrect.Dx
658 MSrcPosCorrect.Dy
659
660 - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars
661 as the requested source name had were compared (If a source
662 "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304"
663 were requested it could happen that the coordinates of
664 "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed
665 in addition to its name to the logging output.
666
667 - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function
668 from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement
669 for on-only analysis'
670
671 - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy-
672 bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17)
673
674 - sponde: Added a plot E^2*dN/dE
675
676 - sponde: The energy estimator plot should now show values like
677 they are commonly used.
678
679 - sponde: Now MMcSpectrumWeight also excepts formulas with two X
680 (a powerlaw with cutoff didn't work before)
681
682
683
684 *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01)
685
686 - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C:
687 how to calculate the threshold
688
689 - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with
690 MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino
691 and MagicReversi)
692
693 - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise
694
695 - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0
696
697 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new
698 resource file resources/calibration.rc
699
700 - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping
701 the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the
702 automatic processing
703
704 - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information
705 developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than
706 the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important
707 for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old
708 treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the
709 arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken)
710
711 - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the
712 decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower
713 information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation
714 further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal
715 do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel
716 beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the
717 pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal.
718 By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the
719 corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can
720 be supressed.
721
722 - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated)
723 got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed.
724 (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel
725 content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning
726 algorithm)
727
728 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal
729 extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly)
730 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm).
731 (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been
732 introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two
733 types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects
734 the first seconds of data of each sequence.
735
736 - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation
737 of the parameters could be made independant of the noise
738 (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search
739 extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully
740 understood.
741
742 - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case,
743 because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they
744 are sorted by their sequence number.
745
746 - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut
747
748 - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed.
749
750
751
752 *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18)
753
754 - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of
755 inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate
756 fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled #
757 histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely.
758
759 - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms
760 calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails
761 it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast.
762
763 - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode.
764 Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results.
765
766
767
768 *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05)
769
770 - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the
771 MC binning
772
773 - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in
774 April (MSrcPosCorrect)
775
776 - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly
777
778 - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm
779
780 - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes
781
782 - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly
783
784 - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and
785 marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog
786
787 - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically
788 ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly
789 represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading
790 of the subsystem data
791
792 - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also
793 Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset.
794
795 - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo.
796 It gave wrong results by 1./2pi
797
798 - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too
799
800 - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment
801
802 - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available
803
804 - mars: show muon parameters graphically
805
806 - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline
807 argument
808
809 - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190
810 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the
811 counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file
812 (MCameraHV).
813
814 - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated
815 by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070)
816
817 - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context
818 menu, eg in the TBrowser
819
820 - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to
821 - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline)
822 - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
823 This is important mainly for timing studies.
824
825 - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from
826 - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst)
827 - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast)
828 - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst)
829 - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast)
830 Introduced new limits:
831 - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05
832 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5
833 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5
834
835 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter
836 has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special
837 for Monte Carlo calibrations.
838
839 - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference
840 for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05)
841
842 - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain
843 was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the
844 fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable.
845 This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain
846 channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough
847 to make the distribution reliable.
848
849 - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now,
850 the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too
851 high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices
852 saturated and produced wrong limits.
853
854 - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc:
855 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes
856 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes
857 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes
858 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes
859
860 - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration,
861 the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096
862 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more
863 than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the
864 mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some
865 calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more
866 than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where
867 a good precision is needed.
868
869 - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of
870 photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly).
871
872 - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor
873 method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but
874 more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain
875 changes.
876
877 - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data
878 as calculated by MPedestalY2
879
880 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and
881 unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is
882 calculated from interleaved events
883
884 - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to
885 be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the
886 best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value
887 was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another
888 task
889
890 - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate
891
892 - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean
893 DC currents
894
895 - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean
896 Pedestal Rms
897
898 - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider
899
900 - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant
901 for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth
902 plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf
903 became pedestal rms dependant
904
905 - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in
906 http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/
907
908 - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in
909 May/April 05
910
911 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable:
912 ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc
913
914 - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released
915
916 - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize
917
918 - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number
919 of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of
920 total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram
921
922 - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp
923
924 - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function:
925 The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor
926 sqrt(2) to large
927
928 - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp
929 and a background model determined in the first loop is
930 subtracted
931
932 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct
933 solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using
934 the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped.
935
936 - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is
937 already determined by the third moment along the major axis and
938 so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower.
939
940 - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account
941 when calculating the source position. This is especially important
942 for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data.
943
944 - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as
945 good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch
946 it off add
947 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1
948 to your ganymed.rc
949
950 - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of
951 choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest
952 and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use...
953
954 - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold
955
956
957
958 *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03)
959
960 - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should
961 have no influence on compatibility with older camera files
962
963 - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows
964 to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree)
965 before any other tree.
966
967 - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the
968 run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such
969 that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated
970 correctly.
971
972 - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window
973
974 - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which
975 allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or
976 (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of
977 the run stored in the runheader.
978
979 - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in
980 MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was
981 already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
982
983 - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
984 now changes the filename for new weights automatically for
985 cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors.
986
987 - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the
988 name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored.
989 Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead
990 of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc.
991
992 - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is
993 explicitly set also for pretty new runs
994
995 - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows
996 to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1)
997 to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from
998 the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor
999 is fixed to 1
1000
1001 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit
1002 more accurate now
1003
1004 - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different
1005 pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into
1006 account - not only kUnsuitableRun
1007
1008 - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default
1009
1010 - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2.
1011 This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg
1012 arrival times) are calculated more accuratly.
1013
1014 - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
1015 MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0
1016
1017 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants
1018 hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root
1019
1020 - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents
1021 from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt
1022
1023 - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit
1024 has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very
1025 ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image
1026 cleaning around them (Markus G.)
1027
1028 - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has
1029 suggested that different extractors give slightly different
1030 absolute results after calibration, due to there different
1031 handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although
1032 the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or
1033 the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated).
1034 There for correction factors have been introduced which correct
1035 the calibration constants by
1036 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
1037 and
1038 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc)
1039 calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can
1040 be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample.
1041 The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a
1042 Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
1043
1044 - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms
1045 vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results
1046 on the screen. The output and all following programs not
1047 directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected
1048
1049 - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event
1050 is read and Processed before the first data event was read.
1051
1052 - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard
1053 false source plot with a different one. For example: If
1054 you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource:
1055 NameHistFS: MHDisp
1056 For details about the requirements of these plots look
1057 at the corresponding classes
1058
1059 - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize
1060 has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead
1061 of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this
1062 case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization
1063 MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call
1064 RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize
1065 has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy
1066
1067 - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a
1068 different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For
1069 more details see the class description and sponde.rc
1070
1071 - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by
1072 their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using
1073 the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum
1074 and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut
1075 normalization is normally wrong.
1076

1078
1079 *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20)
1080
1081 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
1082 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
1083
1084 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
1085 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
1086
1087 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
1088 because ProcessFile is missleading
1089
1090 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
1091
1092 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
1093 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
1094 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
1095
1096 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
1097 versions newer than V200404070
1098
1099 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
1100 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
1101 (MCameraCentralPixel)
1102
1103 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
1104 (MHVsSize)
1105
1106 - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics
1107
1108 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
1109 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
1110 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
1111 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
1112 can be canged
1113
1114 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
1115 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
1116 using showlog.
1117
1118 - showplot: improved
1119 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
1120 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
1121 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
1122 the printing command from the command line you can use all
1123 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
1124 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
1125 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
1126 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
1127
1128 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
1129 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
1130 intensity has been updated in some cases)
1131
1132 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
1133 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
1134 been taken with Pin Diode.
1135
1136 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
1137 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
1138
1139 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
1140 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
1141
1142 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
1143 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
1144 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
1145 of the cosmisc
1146
1147 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
1148 from 2.5 to 4.5
1149
1150 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
1151 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump
1152 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
1153 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
1154
1155 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
1156 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
1157 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
1158 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
1159 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
1160 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
1161 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
1162 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
1163 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
1164 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
1165 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
1166 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
1167 they are a lot slower)
1168 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
1169 random memory access it might by completely random!
1170
1171 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
1172 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
1173 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
1174
1175 - callisto:
1176 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
1177 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
1178 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
1179 Default: -9.0 +4.5
1180 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
1181
1182 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
1183 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
1184
1185 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
1186 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
1187 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
1188 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
1189 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
1190 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
1191 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
1192 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
1193
1194 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
1195 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
1196
1197 - callisto: for the common extractors
1198 + MExtractFixedWindow
1199 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
1200 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
1201 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
1202 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
1203 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
1204
1205 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
1206 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
1207 hilocalib_df6.root
1208
1209 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
1210 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
1211 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
1212
1213 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
1214 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
1215 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
1216 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
1217 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
1218 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
1219 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
1220
1221 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
1222 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
1223 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
1224 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
1225 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
1226 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
1227
1228 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
1229
1230 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
1231 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
1232
1233 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
1234 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
1235 changed only minimally
1236
1237 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
1238 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
1239 MJSpectrum (sponde)
1240
1241 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
1242 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
1243 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
1244 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
1245
1246 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
1247 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
1248
1249
1250
1251 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
1252
1253 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
1254 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
1255 by 0.2 slices)
1256
1257 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
1258 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
1259
1260 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
1261 also done with a intercalibration input file
1262
1263 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
1264
1265 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
1266
1267 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
1268
1269 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
1270
1271 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
1272
1273 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
1274
1275 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
1276
1277 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
1278 which is more than 5 times the variance
1279
1280 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
1281
1282 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
1283 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
1284
1285 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
1286 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
1287
1288 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
1289 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
1290
1291 - update the reference lines for the december data
1292
1293 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
1294 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
1295 pulse position changes much.
1296
1297 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
1298 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
1299 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
1300
1301 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
1302 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
1303 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
1304 runs a lot.
1305
1306 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
1307 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
1308
1309 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
1310 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
1311 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
1312 than with old versions (wrong units))
1313
1314 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
1315 formats are still unsupported by root)
1316
1317 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
1318 for automatic processing
1319
1320
1321
1322 *** Version 0.9 (2005/03/23)
1323
1324 - Calibration is now done autmatically into photo-electrons like
1325 decided by the Collaboration Board
1326
1327 - Reference lines in the display can be read from resource file
1328

1338 - added two classes mreport/MReportStarguider.cc and
1339 mreport/MReportStarguider.h for implementing starguider-data
1340
1341 - the output of merpp-update now contains starguider information:
1342 MReportStarguider and MTimeStarguider
1343
1344 - Fixed bug in MHHadronness.cc which made that the displayed Q-factor
1345 values were lower than they should. This was more visible for high
1346 energy (Size) events.
1347
1348 - Made MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter the default for callisto
1349
1350 - added a new loop to callisto to support the correct extraction of
1351 the pedestal and pedestal rms through the signal extractor
1352
1353 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure
1354 (MHexagonalFT)
1355
1356 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure
1357 in a tasklist (MHexagonalFTCalc) example: hft.C
1358
1359 - added class to enhance the MCerPhotEvt from the Magic camera geometry
1360 MGeomCamMagic to a enhanced geometry MGeomCamMagicXT having only
1361 small pixels, example: extendcam.C
1362
1363 - added possibility to write data to memory (TTree) using MWriteRootFile
1364
1365 - added possibility to read a TTree stored only in memory by MReadTree
1366
1367 - new classes to deal with the interleaved calibration events:
1368 MTriggerPattern, MTriggerPatternDecode and MFTriggerPattern
1369
1370 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
1371
1372 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
1373 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
1374 the slices by statistics
1375 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
1376 signal extractor without randomization
1377 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
1378 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
1379 randomly fixed)
1380 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
1381 long as nobody really needs it:
1382 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
1383 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
1384
1385 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
1386
1387 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
1388 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
1389 roughly 0.5%
1390
1391 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
1392 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
1393 batch mode possible:
1394 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
1395
1396 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
1397 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)
1398
1399 - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
1400 camera files.
1401
1402 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
1403
1404 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
1405 accurate now
1406
1407 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
1408 MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix
1409 * the new implementation is faster and
1410 * needs less storage space
1411
1412 - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the
1413 whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)
1414
1415 - implemented new image parameters for the border length of
1416 the shower image (MNewImagePar2)

1433
1434 - added new program which can convert colored output which was redirected
1435 into a file back into colored text (for example to display it with
1436 more): showlog
1437
1438 - added new program to display an MStatusArray of plots (stored with
1439 MStatusDisplay) from a file: showplot
1440
1441 - Added support for Sequences (MSequence). Sequences are blocks of run
1442 files containing the same calibration and belonging to the same
1443 source
1444
1445 - Added a new task (MTaskEnv) which can be used in setup files to switch
1446 between different tasks (for example to choose a signal extractor)
1447
1448 - Implemented automatic file splitting in MWriteRootFile
1449
1450 - After image cleaning an island index is assigned to all used pixels.
1451 The index corresponds to the order of the islands in size.
1452
1453 - added a cleaning which takes signal height _and_ arrival time into
1454 account: probability cleaning (for more details see MImgCleanStd)
1455
1456 - added a cleaning which takes takes the absolute number of photons
1457 times the area ratio as cleaning level
1458 (for more details see MImgCleanStd)
1459
1460 - Changed calculation of image parameters such, that it can be done
1461 for all used pixels or the pixels with a defined island index only
1462
1463 - implemented new image parameters displaying the number of islands,
1464 saturated hi-gain and lo-gain pixels (MImagePar, MHImagePar)
1465
1466 - event display in executable changed to support also calibrated files
1467 (done with MJCalibrateSignal)
1468
1469 - added program doing the calibration and the signal extraction
1470 and signal calibration: callisto Most part of the setup is done
1471 by a resource file: callisto.rc
1472
1473 - implemented support for pixels with negative IDs (Raw file format
1474 version 4)
1475
1476 - implemented an new option in merpp (--auto-time) to get the time
1477 range for cc and/or caco data from the run header of the raw data
1478
1479 - New star-program (star and MJStar). Taking calibrated data from
1480 callisto/MJCalibrateSignal as input. The setup is done through
1481 a resource file: star.rc
1482
1483 - Added possibility to setup the eventloop in the mars-executable
1484 Camera Display by a resource file: mars.rc
1485
1486 - The the mars-executable Camera Display can now also read
1487 calibrated data files written by callisto/MJCalibrateSignal
1488
1489 - Added a new class which can calculate the source position in
1490 the camera from a pointing model known to be correct and
1491 the pointing model used for observations (MSrcPosFromModel)
1492
1493 - added a new version of the class calculating the effective on-time
1494 MHEffectiveOnTime. It unifies the old classes MHEffOnTime,
1495 MHEffOnTimeTime, MHEffOnTimeTheta, MHTimeDiff, MHTimeDiffTime and
1496 MHTimeDiffTheta.
1497
1498 - added the possibility to count how often a signal is above (or
1499 below) a certain threshold in MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot (this
1500 can replace MHTriggerLvl0)
1501
1502 - added ore convinient ways to set the axis-titles of your histograms
1503 in your macro to some MH-classes like: MH3, MHVsTime, MHSectorVsTime,
1504 MHPixVsTime, MHVsTime, MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot
1505

1522 the real ratio of the rms depending on the pixel size, not only the
1523 square root of the pixelsize (MImgCleanStd, MCameraData)
1524
1525 - removed obsolete MBlind* classes
1526
1527 - Signal extractor taking the AB flag into account implemented (this makes
1528 an odd number of slices for signal extraction possible
1529 (MExtractSignalABcorr)
1530
1531 - implemented a class extracting the pedestal from the raw-data (events)
1532 itself using empty lo-gain (MpedCalcFromLoGain)

1961 - Added:
1962 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
1963 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
1964 they are needed in the flux calculation in
1965 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
1966 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
1967 of Theta and the true energy
1968
1969 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
1970 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
1971 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
