4
5 - merpp: Implemented file format version 8 (MUX FADC data). The 16-bit
6 data containing only 10-bit information is still cooked down to
7 8-bit, by cutting away the lowest 8-bit.
8
9 - merpp: When reading raw data the data is now stored in a single
10 array. The lo-gain array is obsolete. The interface stays the same.
11
12 - callisto: Improved binning for the pulse position check histogram
13
14
15
16 *** Version 1.0 (2007/02/16)
17
18 - database: Website to plot values from the database has been added.
19
20 - database: The rate of spark events as found by star is now kept
21 and the rate after cleaning is now with spark events subtracted
22
23 - general: The changes to the interpretation of phrases lead to
24 a problem with the access of MHMatrix objects (eg. "M[0]")... fixed.
25
26 - general: Added a possibility to display grouped data in the plotdb.C
27 macro (and similar macros). This allows to plot hourly, nightly,
28 weekly, monthly and yearly averages.
29 For more details see the plotall function of the macro
30
31 - general: fixed the error display of the camera display. It showed
32 wrong results.
33
34 - general: fixed a memory leak when reading many MStatusDisplays
35
36 - general: added a macro (macros/tutorials/mirrordelay.C) plotting the delay
37 between a spherical and a parabolic mirror
38
39 - callisto: We have a new pulse position check which takes the properties
40 of the extractor automatically into account. So no need to set
41 ExtractWinLeft/Right anymore. Again a check for pulses too much to the
42 left is done. If possible the lo-gain extraction start and hi-gain
43 extraction end is changed accordingly. If no proper extraction range
44 can be set (hi-gain too much to the left) an error is raised.
45
46 - callisto: Redone the signal extraction this includes:
47 + Unified the algorithms to extract the pedestal for all pedestal
48 extractions done
49 + Unification of hi- and lo-gain into one array
50 + Unification of hi- and lo-gain extraction for Spline and
51 Digital Filter (means now exactly the same algorithm is used,
52 not a copy-and-pasted one)
53 + Store pedestal subtracted data in a common place
54 + Improved extraction algorithms. If the algorithms search a
55 maximum but don't find one they don't return the maximum anymore
56 + Improved the extraction such that a information for signal
57 and time which is consistent is returned
58 + replaced the numerical spline with a (not slower) analytical
59 solution
60 + Lowered the saturation limit from 250 to 245 to make sure that
61 we are far away in all pixels from problems with the clock-noise
62 + The start of the lo-gain extraction is calculated from the hi-gain
63 arrival time. In case of saturation an estimation is used.
64 + the hi-gain window was extended to slice 16. This allows extraction
65 of very late pulses in single pixels or of huge hadron showers.
66 + Now uses the lo-gain extraction range for pedestal extraction,
67 not the hi-gain range in the lo-gain
68
69 - callisto: New hi-/lo-gain calibration constants have been produced
70 for all periods from the statistic of the whole period. They are
71 now used automatically depending on the periods. The old constants
72 where deviation in avarega about 2%-3%. The constants are very
73 stable from period to period (<<1%) except for exchanged channels.
74 In a few cases the constants used so far were off by 1%-2% (maybe
75 temperature effects?)
76
77 - callisto: To gain obsolete space we do not write the
78 MPedestalFundamental anymore. Also calibration and bad pixel
79 treatment is not done for it anymore because it has never been used.
80
81 - callisto: Fixed a bug in the seuqence handling which caused the
82 light condition to be ignored
83
84 - star: Added two new tabs "Sparkless" and "Sparks" these tabs show
85 basically the same as "Cleaned" but the distribution devided into
86 the events fullfilling a spark cut or being rejected by it.
87 This cut can be changed from star.rc (see example inside) by
88 the "SparkCut" directive
89
90 - star: Star displays now the average individual pixel-rate (IPR) versus
91 time and the average discriminator threshold (DT) of all pixels.
92
93 - optim: fixed a problem with the optim-macros which was due to a bug
94 in the new phrase parsing
95
96 - ganymed: To get a nice FalseSource plot (instead of the all-information
97 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
98 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
99 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
100 the other options)
101 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!
102
103 - ganymed/optim/train: The cut program, trainings- and optimization
104 macros could run with less files found than expected from the
105 sequence-files. No the execution is stopped in this case.
106
107 - ganymed: now stores the dataset in the output file with all information
108 contained (as sequence number, sequence path, data path) so that the
109 used dataset file can be recreated complete from the output
110
111 - sponde: now also allows the uasge of random forest
112
113 - sponde: added a plot showing the cut efficiency
114
115 - sponde: Using root versions < 5.13/04 still resulted in wrong binomial
116 errors (eg. effecting the collection area) because the errors of the
117 two histograms were swapped in the calculation, which makes a difference
118 in the case the histograms contains weighted events. Aditionally the
119 totalarea was incorrectly taken into account, which results in too small
120 errors, which makes a difference at low statistics were the errors
121 or the collection area dominate.
122
123
124
125 *** Version 0.10.3 (2006/10/23)
126
127 - database: Implemented ObservationMode flag in websites.
128
129 - database: For sequences there is now also the stoptime available on the
130 websites.
131
132 - database: Removed ManuallyChanged flag from sequence-info websites,
133 as it is not needed anymore with the new sequence building algorithm.
134
135 - general: MRolke.[cc,h]: Modification of TRolke from root_v5.12.00b.
136 Class for calculation of confidence intervals (upper limits).
137 Use model 3 or 4 for upper limit calculation for MAGIC observations.
138 Please read the class instruction of TRolke for more information.
139
140 - general: The programs now return 0xfe if the requested resource file
141 doesn't exist.
142
143 - general: Errors comming from root itself are now not output to
144 stderr anymore but to our default (colored) log-stream.
145
146 - general: Changed the interface to TFormula such that now everything
147 is parsed by TFormula, which should allow to use phrases even
148 without paranthesis correctly parsed.
149
150 - callisto: replaced the AdHoc number of effective integration slices
151 in the digital filter by an average of the correct number, averaged
152 over all possible set of weights. This also gives correct numbers
153 for the lo-gains which were totally wrong before.
154
155 - callisto: drastically reduced memory consumption by not storing
156 all intermediate calibration results in memory anymore (we might
157 write them into a file in the future)
158
159 - ganymed: To get a nice Theta-Sq plot (instead of the all-information
160 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
161 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
162 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
163 the "DrawAll" option)
164 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!
165
166
167
168 *** Version 0.10.2 (2006/10/15)
169
170 - general: changed the building of the sequence files such, that
171 the source-/project name in case of wobble-sources is not the
172 source/project of the first data run anymore but the new generalized
173 wobble source/project
174
175 - general: Added some functions to MAstro to calculate sun and
176 moon properties
177
178 - general: Added two new macros (starvisday.C and starvisyear.C)
179 which allow to plot the visibility of several stars in one day
180 or of one star along one year
181
182
183
184 *** Version 0.10.1 (2006/10/11)
185
186 - general: HTML logging output was distorted... fixed.
187
188 - general: Changed the writing of the sequencefiles such that only
189 as many pedestal files as giving at least 1000 pedestal events which
190 are nearby the first calibration run are used as pedestal runs
191
192 - sponde: In the calculation of the collection area(s) and the
193 distribution for MOnte Carlo and estimated energy the error
194 calculation was wrong because root didn't take the errors
195 properly into account... fixed.
196
197
198
199 *** Version 0.10 (2006/10/10)
200
201 - general: all executables now check consistency of the root version
202 installed with the root version used for compilation. The return
203 code in this case is 255.
204
205 - general: The algorithm to build seqeunces has been redesigned
206 completly. It is now more flexible in terms of a resource file
207 resources/sequences.rc which can be used to partly overwrite
208 the default algorithm and defined the important part of the
209 algorithm. It also takes correctly into account several ways
210 of taking wobble-data. Currently the new algorithm doesn't take
211 the number of pedestal events anymore into account (so a sequence
212 could have much less than 1000 pedestal events and data runs are
213 no-more used instead)
214
215 - general: a lot of small changes to make the code compatible with
216 root 5.12/00 and gcc 4.1
217
218 - general: Fixed some warnings thrown if more warnings are switched
219 on in the compiler
220
221 - general: Added a function to MMath which returns the Median of
222 the distribution abs(y[i]-median) but at 68:32 division instead
223 of 50:50, which is somehow the median counterpart of the rms.
224
225 - general: MAstroCatalog allows now to read calatog files (as bsc5)
226 even if they are compressed with gzip (recommended compression
227 is with "-1")
228
229 - showplot:
230 + batch mode creation of image files now works with root 5.12/00
231 + added support for writing bmp (though it never produces
232 bmp which can be read by programs like xv or gimp)
233 + added support for xml
234 + added new option to start the display with a different size, by
235 --display-width=nnn or --display-height=nnn
236 + added options to define the canvas size when the display is started
237 --canvas-width=nnn or --canvas-height=nnn
238 the option can also be used for batch-mode conversion
239 + added an option which automatically fits the display size to the
240 desktop-size: --auto-size
241
242 - merpp: didn't recognize files with the extension .raw.gz - fixed.
243
244 - merpp: allow the reports to have 1000ms due to a bug in the camera
245 program.
246
247 - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected. For
248 details see MRawRunHeader::FixAssignment()
249
250 - callisto: Callisto now raises an error if one of the input files could
251 not be opened.
252
253 - callisto: In some rare cases it could happen that in the signal
254 extraction of the digital filter the extractor returned nonsense
255 results due a wrong initializion of a variable (this happens in
256 cases in which the extracted signal is exactly zero or the
257 digital filter couldn't slide because of a too small extraction
258 window, which could happen in the lo-gain extraction)
259
260 - callisto: The lo-gains have been marked as valid in some cases
261 when they got not extracted at all (deltsumlo=deltatimelo=0) because
262 the allowed extraction range (fLoGainLast-fLoGainFirst) was
263 smaller than the number of slices (fLoGainWindowSize) needed
264 by the lo-gain extractor
265
266 - callisto: Updated absolute calibration constants (muon calibration)
267
268 - callisto: fixed a bug which caused the hi-gain saturation not
269 to be handled properly in the spline (the position of the
270 saturation was calculated incorrectly)
271
272 - callisto: fixed a bug which gave weird results if hi- _and_
273 lo-gain could not be extracted properly. In some cases hi-
274 and lo-gain have not been extracted at all and the random result
275 got calibrated. In other cases the hi-gain was saturating and the
276 lo-gain has not been extracted. For this a completly arbitraty
277 scale factor was applied to the result from extracting the
278 charge of the saturating hi-gain.
279
280 - callisto: improves handling of extracted signal if lo- and/or
281 hi-gain could not be extracted properly. If no appropriate
282 calibration of either the signal or the arrival time is possible
283 the pixel is now markes as unsuitable instead of estimated.
284
285 - callisto: Fixed a problem in the spline extraction which gave
286 weird results if the signal was extracted from the first (and
287 highest) slice (as a workaround extraction from the first
288 slice has been forbidden)
289
290 - callisto: Fixed a bug regarding the use of the QE which doesn't
291 effect the result because the default is used anyhow.
292 (The bug was there since 14/07/2005)
293
294 - callisto: Changed the default for fgLoGainStartShift to -2.4
295
296 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused all hi-/lo-gain calibration
297 factors to be always 10 for all pixels as soon as the first
298 calibration update has happend.
299
300 - callisto: Fixed the hi-/lo-gain offset for the Digital Filter. It
301 was off by more than one slice (which gives wrong values for
302 pixels which have saturated the hi-gain) This was a problem
303 mainly for timing studies, not so much for the automatic standard
304 analysis. Also the values for the Spline have been changed slightly:
305 + Digital Filter from 1.70 to 0.95
306 + Spline from 1.39 to 1.30
307 The numbers were sorted out by an extensive test in the
308 test-database.
309
310 - callisto: Removed the tab showing the average calibrated arrival
311 time. It never gave useful information.
312
313 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoCal" which shows the ratio between hi- and
314 lo-gain pulse for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain have saturated
315 and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above the
316 LoGainSwitch.
317
318 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoOff" which shows the offset between hi- and
319 lo-gain pulse position (after application of LoGainOffset, which
320 means in the ideal case it is 0) for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain
321 have saturated and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above
322 the LoGainSwitch.
323
324 - callisto: After extensive tests a new threshold level for determination
325 of the pulse position has been found at 50phe. This is due to the
326 fact that for lower pulses the arrival time changes its average
327 behaviour dramatically. It tends to the average of the extraction
328 range and starts sticking to non-floating point numbers (5, 6, 7, ...)
329
330 - callisto: Added two more plots to the calibration part. The average
331 extracted signal and the average extracted arrival time as
332 extracted by the signal extractor (This can help debugging problems
333 because it doesn't involve a fit)
334
335 - star: changed the fit for the effective on time such that initial
336 values are calculated automatically now instead of using build
337 in values. This makes the fit more indepedant of the underlaying
338 rates. With a test of ~350 sequences in the test database it could
339 be shown that the new fit gives the same result +/-1sek.
340 The highest deviation was +5s the lowest -10s. You can now control
341 the bahaviour with two resource values:
342 MHEffectiveOnTime.FistBin: 3
343 MHEffectiveOnTime.NumEvents: 12000
344 Use FirstBin=1 and NumEvents=120 to fit the effective on time
345 from the resulting gamma candidates
346
347 - star: The Center histogram in MHHillas is now by default displayed
348 with the colz draw-option
349
350 - ganymed: now produces valid error codes if failed
351
352 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts now supports a hadronness cut. Switch it on
353 with the option "hadronness" instead of "area" or "both" if
354 you want to use both cuts. The hadronness cut includes a fixed
355 cut in hadronness (index 8) and a fixed cut in size (index 9).
356
357 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts: fixed abug introduced 2005/7/14 which caused
358 the M3Long of the anti source to be not properly evaluated
359 (actually is was evaluated as a unique random number) in case
360 of optimization with anti-theta cut switched on. This might have
361 lead to improper, but not necessarily wrong, optimization results.
362
363 - ganymed: ganymed_onoff.rc, ganymed_wobble.rc - updated with comments
364 how to use random forest
365
366 - ganymed: use the same spark cuts as in ganymed_wobble.rc as in
367 ganymed_onoff.rc. Seems to be unintentional that they were different.
368
369 - sponde: Since the introduction of the possibility to define a
370 normalization energy instead of using the integral the default
371 was not using the integral anymore but a normalization energy of
372 1GeV. It is now the integral again.
373
374 - sponde: Fixed a problem in the weighting which did not allow
375 a MC slope of -1.
376
377
378
379 *** Version 0.9.6 (2006/05/24)
380
381 - general: changed the binning of the azimuthal profile of the camera
382 such that it is aligned with the 60deg boundaries.
383
384 - merpp: better handling of problems with the TH, TD part of the
385 CC-REPORT for files older than 200507190 and 200412210
386 respectively
387
388 - merpp: improved handling of RECEIVERS-COM-ERROR in CC-REPORT
389
390 - merpp: implementd latest changes in starguider reports (sinc 9th May)
391
392 - callisto: if an arrival time is extracted outside the fadc range is
393 was set to the boundary before. Now a random number is assigned
394 instead to avoid unfortunate coincidences of arrival times just
395 by this arbitrary value.
396
397 - callisto: added a new option to callisto.rc which allows
398 to set the maximum arrival time difference allowed for the
399 badpixel algorithm to determin whether a pixels belongs to a shower:
400 MJCalibrateSignal.MBadPixelsTreat.MaxArrivalTimeDiff: 0.9
401
402 - callisto: changed the old value (0.5) for MaxArrivalTimeDiff
403 to 0.9 as suggested by Stefan due to a recent study on the fraction
404 of pixels surviving the image cleaning
405
406 - callisto: switched off error in case of "pulse is too much to the left"
407
408 - callisto: The extraction window is not adapted anymore. This means that
409 the pulse is extracted from the full range. The draw-back is that the
410 background (pedestal) will become slightly higher. Switching on/off
411 the PulsePosCheck in the callisto.rc only effects filling the
412 histograms.
413 WARNING: If the pulse is too much to the left data is calibrated!
414 Check the PulsePosCheck-PulsePosition AND the Inhomogeneity parameter
415 in the database to make sure that your data is valid!
416
417 - star: Show also the number of stars correlated correctly by the
418 starguider
419
420 - ganymed: implemented a new class (MHThetaSqN) which allows to use more
421 than one off-source region in wobble-mode. To use it add the following to
422 your ganymed_wobble.rc:
423 + MJCut.NameHist: MHThetaSqN (switch the new feature on)
424 + MHThetaSqN.NumOffSourcePos: 3 (define number of off-regions)
425 + MHThetaSqN.DoOffCut: Yes,No (switch on/off the off-cut)
426 + Cut1.ThetaCut: None
427 + MHThetaSqN.SignificanceCutLevel: 2.0 (increase off-cut by 2.0/1.7)
428
429 - ganymed: in the case the latest report is older than a default (currently
430 one minute) and the current report will be skip the starguider
431 correction and calibration will be reset. The maximum age can be
432 setup from ganymed.rc by (minutes):
433 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAge: 1.5
434
435 - ganymed: A first implementation showing all size-bins for the theta-sq
436 resp. alpha-plots in a single tab automatically
437
438
439
440 *** Version 0.9.5.1 (2006/05/05)
441
442 - general: Added a new option "zdiff" to the Makefile which runs
443 "cvs diff" as "make diff" would do, but with compression
444
445 - general: accelerated MTFillMatrix (used for eample in all training
446 and optimization macros) by skipping some obsolete calles in the
447 eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
448
449 - general: Added a missing feature in the MFilterList class which
450 prevented MFEnergySlope from working correctly in trainenergy.C
451
452 - general: Accelerated the random forest training and usage a bit
453
454 - merpp: Adapted to new raw data file format version 6
455
456 - merpp: fixed a problem with reading the starguider reports
457 after 6.3.2006
458
459 - callisto: At some times six pixels had to be exchanged manually in the
460 data. If the pixels to be swaped are both not found, an error was raised
461 and calibration was stopped. Now it is assumed they are intentially not
462 mapped and the Error has been changed to a Warning.
463
464 - star: Added new image cleaning based on the arrival time of the shower.
465 The new cleaning can be accessed using the parameter "Time" instead of
466 the the old one (like "Absolute) in the star.rc-file.
467 Recommended parameters:
468 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel1: 8.2
469 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel2: 5
470 + MImgCleanStd.CleanRings: 2
471 + MImgCleanStd.KeepSinglePixels: No
472
473 - star: Simplified the calculation of the effective on time. By letting
474 the fit start in the third bin the result should become more stable.
475 The fit quality is now ignored for the theta-plot which is not used
476 in the analysis later. Still better pre-cut which, for example,
477 remove events triggered by car-light (rate changing on a short
478 time-scale) are missing.
479
480 - macros: optimonoff.C, optimwobble.C: implemented a new strategy
481 for optimization (kWeakSource) which is suggested by the Berlin
482 people for weak sources.
483
484 - macros: plotdb.C:
485 + if no dataset and no time-interval is given only sequences with
486 an effective on-time above five minutes are plotted anymore
487 + added a new tab "RelTime" displaying the relative on-time
488 (effective on-time divided by the observation time)
489
490 - macros: optim*.C: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop
491 the optimization became a lot faster
492
493 - ganymed: In the second loop the MHNewImagePar histograms disapeared.
494 To display them just delete the pads displayed on top.
495
496 - ganymed: fixed a bug which could cause strange behaviour in wobble
497 mode if no starguider information was available due to an incorrect
498 initialization of the starguider calibration
499
500 - ganymed: The scale region in the False Source Plot (MHDisp) can now
501 be changed from within the plot. It can also be setup from the
502 resource file using:
503 + MHDisp.fScaleMin: 0.325
504 + MHDisp.fScaleMax: 0.475
505
506 - ganymed, showplot: Fixed a problem with the fit to the off-data
507 (HistOff) which could cause a time lag or an inifinite loop.
508 The bug did not effect the results at all.
509
510 - sponde: Added a new tab showing the effective collection area after
511 trigger (including the software trigger)
512
513 - sponde: MMcSpectrumWeight has a new option which allows to define
514 the scaling factor not by the integral of the events but at
515 a defined energy:
516 e.g. MMcSpectrumWeight.NormEnergy: 200
517
518 - MTFillMatrix, sponde: by skipping some obsolete calles in the
519 eventloops the loop could be accelerated by ~20%
520
521

523 *** Version 0.9.5 (2006/03/13)
524
525 - macros: fixed a typo optimwoble.C (SetThetaCut instead SetAlphaCut)
526 and added the standard Disp-parametrization
527
528 - macros: added a new macro datacenter/macros/plotstat.C allowing
529 to plot statistics about the data processing
530
531 - macros: added a new macro to plot the muon correction coefficients
532 versus period (macros/plot/mucal.C)
533
534 - showplot: path inflation for ganymed files was broken
535
536 - callisto: Fixed an important bug. When the number of saturating pixels
537 were calculated the bad pixel information already available from the
538 calibration was ignored. This yields wrong values in case pixels
539 are broken and saturate all the time or randomly.
540
541 - callisto: Updated Muon calibration constants. Spline data now also uses
542 different values for different periods
543
544 - star: The time-evolution shown in the effective on-time plot now displays
545 the axis range (if there are no holes it should be similar to the
546 effective on-time)
547
548 - star: Added two new image parameters:
549 + MNewImagePar.fConcCOG: The ratio of the equivalent signals of
550 the three pixels next to the center of gravity and the size
551 + MNewImagePar.fConcCore: The ratio of the signals of all
552 pixels inside or touching the ellipse and the size
553
554 - ganymed: now stops in requested source isn't found in catalog file
555
556 - ganymed: Many improvements to the phi-plot in wobble mode:
557 + with a template the ideal background is displayed
558 + a possible camera inhomogeneity is taken into account
559 + the anti theta cut is better supported
560 + the phi cut is automatically calculated from the theta cut
561 See the examples in ganymed_wobble.rc for more details.
562
563 - ganymed: fixed plot for E^2*dN/dE. The spectrum was multiplied with two
564 times the bin-width instead of the absolute energy
565
566 - ganymed: New cuts for on/off and wobble mode
567
568 - ganymed: The smearing of the False Source plot has been increased
569 to 0.06
570
571 - ganymed: The starguider calibration can now be changed from the
572 resource file.
573 See the examples in ganymed*.rc for more details.
574
575 - ganymed: added a new option for on-/off-observations
576 MJCut.RandomSourcePosition
577 If switched on the distribution of observation time of the source
578 position in the camera is calculated from the on-data and randomly
579 applied with this distrbution to the off-data.
580
581 - ganymed: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the
582 first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
583
584 - ganymed: The default in ganymed_onoff.rc is now to determin the source
585 position in the off-data randomly according to its distribution in the
586 on-data.
587
588
589
590 *** Version 0.9.4.3 (2006/02/13)
591
592 - general: Fixed a bug in most of the programs which prevented the
593 compile date in the startup message to be displayed
594
595 - general: Simplified program calls. The following abbreviations
596 are now possible:
597 showlog callisto 55599
598 showplot signal 55599
599 star 55599
600 callisto 55999
601 ganymed 2
602 In this cases the corrsponding root-, log-, sequence- or dataset-
603 filename is automatically compiled using the default datacenter
604 paths ("/magic/*")
605
606 - general: Fixed a long outstanding bug which made axis tick marks
607 disappear if MDataFormula was used (eg. abs(x))
608
609 - general: Updated MMath with new functions to calculate the results of
610 a exponential, logarithmic and powerlaw fits analytically.
611
612 - general: Updated some macros with comments:
613 + macros/optim/optimdisp.C
614 + macros/optim/optimenergy.C
615 + macros/optim/optimwobble.C:
616
617 - general: MTFillMatrix (the class to fill one or two MHMatrix from
618 files) now allows adding a pre-cut like in the optimization. E.g. this
619 is useful to perform g/h-separation cuts before training the random
620 forest.
621
622 - general: Between the rund 53300 and 68754 the pixels 553-558 were not
623 correctly assigned in the raw data assignement table. A fix to correct
624 the assignment tabel have been implemented.
625
626 - general: MAstroCatalog now allows rotating of the sky-grid and stars
627 by 90, 180 and 270 deg.
628
629 - general: the macro plotdb.C now allows to highlight sequences belonging
630 to a datset. For more details see the descritions in the macro.
631
632 - StatusDisplay: Fixed the algorithm to calculate the size ratio
633 of the display, it gave wrong results espacially for big sizes.
634 Now the embedded canvas should always have a ratio width/height=3/2.
635 The "Size" options have been updated with values fitting the 3/2
636 size ratio.
637
638 - RanForest:
639 + Updated the random forest classes to support also the
640 regression method implemented by Thomas H.
641 + added new tutorial macro how to train the random forest
642 for energy estimation (macros/optim/rfenergyest.C)
643 + new classes to train the random forest (still in development)
644 mjtrain/MJTrainEnergy, mjtrain/MJTrainDisp, mjtrain/MJTrainSeparation
645 + new tutorial macros for random forest training in macros/train
646 trainenergy.C, traindisp.C, trainseparation.C
647
648 - mars: now allows to setup a cut in the resource file mars.rc to choose
649 the events to be displayed, eg:
650 Cut.Condition: {0} && {1}
651 Cut.0: MHillas.fSize>100
652 Cut.1: MHillas.fSize<900
653
654 - merpp: Made aware of the new .rep format 200510250. This includes
655 interpretation of the Receiver Board Temperatures (MCameraRecTemp),
656 the discriminator thresholds (MCameraTD) and the disciminator
657 delays (MCameraTD). All of them come with the CC report and are therefor
658 written to the CC tree.
659
660 - callisto: fixed a bug in the calculation of the arrival times in
661 the Digital Filter. They were all shifted by the same amount
662 fHiGainFirst. This caused an offset in the order of the position of
663 the left border of the extraction window in the times calculated
664 from high-gain and from low-gain. The bug effected only the absolute
665 arrival times. The bug was there since 30.1.2005.
666
667 - callisto: Changed the ExtractionWindow for the pulse position check
668 such that the camera inhomogeneity becomes as less as possible and
669 comparable to the pulso position check switched off. More details
670 on the study will be given at our result web-page.
671
672 - ganymed: ganymed.rc, ganymed_onoff.rc:
673 changed to new cuts trained with 1ES1218 and Crab-data
674 for maximum sigma*log10(excess)
675
676 - ganymed: In addition to the Hadronness calculator (CalcHadronness)
677 a new option was implemented to estimate Disp (CalcDisp)
678
679 - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow
680 to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files
681 --ins=/magic/sequences
682 and where to search for the image data
683 --ind=/magic/data/star
684
685 - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing
686 dx/dy from the resource file by
687 MSrcPosCorrect.Dx
688 MSrcPosCorrect.Dy
689
690 - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars
691 as the requested source name had were compared (If a source
692 "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304"
693 were requested it could happen that the coordinates of
694 "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed
695 in addition to its name to the logging output.
696
697 - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function
698 from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement
699 for on-only analysis'
700
701 - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy-
702 bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17)
703
704 - sponde: Added a plot E^2*dN/dE
705
706 - sponde: The energy estimator plot should now show values like
707 they are commonly used.
708
709 - sponde: Now MMcSpectrumWeight also excepts formulas with two X
710 (a powerlaw with cutoff didn't work before)
711
712
713
714 *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01)
715
716 - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C:
717 how to calculate the threshold
718
719 - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with
720 MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino
721 and MagicReversi)
722
723 - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise
724
725 - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0
726
727 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new
728 resource file resources/calibration.rc
729
730 - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping
731 the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the
732 automatic processing
733
734 - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information
735 developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than
736 the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important
737 for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old
738 treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the
739 arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken)
740
741 - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the
742 decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower
743 information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation
744 further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal
745 do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel
746 beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the
747 pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal.
748 By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the
749 corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can
750 be supressed.
751
752 - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated)
753 got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed.
754 (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel
755 content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning
756 algorithm)
757
758 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal
759 extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly)
760 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm).
761 (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been
762 introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two
763 types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects
764 the first seconds of data of each sequence.
765
766 - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation
767 of the parameters could be made independant of the noise
768 (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search
769 extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully
770 understood.
771
772 - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case,
773 because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they
774 are sorted by their sequence number.
775
776 - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut
777
778 - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed.
779
780
781
782 *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18)
783
784 - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of
785 inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate
786 fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled #
787 histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely.
788
789 - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms
790 calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails
791 it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast.
792
793 - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode.
794 Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results.
795
796
797
798 *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05)
799
800 - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the
801 MC binning
802
803 - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in
804 April (MSrcPosCorrect)
805
806 - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly
807
808 - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm
809
810 - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes
811
812 - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly
813
814 - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and
815 marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog
816
817 - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically
818 ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly
819 represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading
820 of the subsystem data
821
822 - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also
823 Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset.
824
825 - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo.
826 It gave wrong results by 1./2pi
827
828 - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too
829
830 - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment
831
832 - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available
833
834 - mars: show muon parameters graphically
835
836 - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline
837 argument
838
839 - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190
840 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the
841 counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file
842 (MCameraHV).
843
844 - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated
845 by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070)
846
847 - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context
848 menu, eg in the TBrowser
849
850 - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to
851 - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline)
852 - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
853 This is important mainly for timing studies.
854
855 - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from
856 - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst)
857 - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast)
858 - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst)
859 - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast)
860 Introduced new limits:
861 - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05
862 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5
863 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5
864
865 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter
866 has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special
867 for Monte Carlo calibrations.
868
869 - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference
870 for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05)
871
872 - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain
873 was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the
874 fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable.
875 This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain
876 channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough
877 to make the distribution reliable.
878
879 - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now,
880 the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too
881 high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices
882 saturated and produced wrong limits.
883
884 - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc:
885 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes
886 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes
887 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes
888 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes
889
890 - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration,
891 the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096
892 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more
893 than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the
894 mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some
895 calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more
896 than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where
897 a good precision is needed.
898
899 - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of
900 photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly).
901
902 - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor
903 method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but
904 more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain
905 changes.
906
907 - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data
908 as calculated by MPedestalY2
909
910 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and
911 unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is
912 calculated from interleaved events
913
914 - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to
915 be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the
916 best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value
917 was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another
918 task
919
920 - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate
921
922 - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean
923 DC currents
924
925 - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean
926 Pedestal Rms
927
928 - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider
929
930 - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant
931 for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth
932 plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf
933 became pedestal rms dependant
934
935 - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in
936 http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/
937
938 - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in
939 May/April 05
940
941 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable:
942 ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc
943
944 - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released
945
946 - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize
947
948 - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number
949 of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of
950 total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram
951
952 - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp
953
954 - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function:
955 The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor
956 sqrt(2) to large
957
958 - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp
959 and a background model determined in the first loop is
960 subtracted
961
962 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct
963 solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using
964 the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped.
965
966 - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is
967 already determined by the third moment along the major axis and
968 so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower.
969
970 - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account
971 when calculating the source position. This is especially important
972 for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data.
973
974 - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as
975 good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch
976 it off add
977 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1
978 to your ganymed.rc
979
980 - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of
981 choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest
982 and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use...
983
984 - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold
985
986
987
988 *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03)
989
990 - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should
991 have no influence on compatibility with older camera files
992
993 - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows
994 to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree)
995 before any other tree.
996
997 - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the
998 run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such
999 that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated
1000 correctly.
1001
1002 - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window
1003
1004 - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which
1005 allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or
1006 (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of
1007 the run stored in the runheader.
1008
1009 - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in
1010 MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was
1011 already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
1012
1013 - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
1014 now changes the filename for new weights automatically for
1015 cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors.
1016
1017 - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the
1018 name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored.
1019 Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead
1020 of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc.
1021
1022 - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is
1023 explicitly set also for pretty new runs
1024
1025 - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows
1026 to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1)
1027 to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from
1028 the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor
1029 is fixed to 1
1030
1031 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit
1032 more accurate now
1033
1034 - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different
1035 pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into
1036 account - not only kUnsuitableRun
1037
1038 - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default
1039
1040 - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2.
1041 This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg
1042 arrival times) are calculated more accuratly.
1043
1044 - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
1045 MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0
1046
1047 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants
1048 hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root
1049
1050 - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents
1051 from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt
1052
1053 - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit
1054 has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very
1055 ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image
1056 cleaning around them (Markus G.)
1057
1058 - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has
1059 suggested that different extractors give slightly different
1060 absolute results after calibration, due to there different
1061 handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although
1062 the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or
1063 the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated).
1064 There for correction factors have been introduced which correct
1065 the calibration constants by
1066 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
1067 and
1068 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc)
1069 calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can
1070 be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample.
1071 The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a
1072 Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
1073
1074 - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms
1075 vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results
1076 on the screen. The output and all following programs not
1077 directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected
1078
1079 - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event
1080 is read and Processed before the first data event was read.
1081
1082 - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard
1083 false source plot with a different one. For example: If
1084 you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource:
1085 NameHistFS: MHDisp
1086 For details about the requirements of these plots look
1087 at the corresponding classes
1088
1089 - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize
1090 has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead
1091 of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this
1092 case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization
1093 MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call
1094 RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize
1095 has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy
1096
1097 - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a
1098 different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For
1099 more details see the class description and sponde.rc
1100
1101 - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by
1102 their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using
1103 the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum
1104 and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut
1105 normalization is normally wrong.
1106
1107
1108
1109 *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20)
1110
1111 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
1112 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
1113
1114 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
1115 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
1116
1117 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
1118 because ProcessFile is missleading
1119
1120 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
1121
1122 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
1123 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
1124 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
1125
1126 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
1127 versions newer than V200404070
1128
1129 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
1130 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
1131 (MCameraCentralPixel)
1132
1133 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
1134 (MHVsSize)
1135
1136 - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics
1137
1138 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
1139 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
1140 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
1141 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
1142 can be canged
1143
1144 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
1145 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
1146 using showlog.
1147
1148 - showplot: improved
1149 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
1150 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
1151 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
1152 the printing command from the command line you can use all
1153 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
1154 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
1155 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
1156 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
1157
1158 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
1159 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
1160 intensity has been updated in some cases)
1161
1162 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
1163 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
1164 been taken with Pin Diode.
1165
1166 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
1167 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
1168
1169 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
1170 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
1171
1172 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
1173 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
1174 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
1175 of the cosmisc
1176
1177 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
1178 from 2.5 to 4.5
1179
1180 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
1181 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump
1182 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
1183 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
1184
1185 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
1186 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
1187 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
1188 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
1189 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
1190 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
1191 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
1192 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
1193 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
1194 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
1195 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
1196 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
1197 they are a lot slower)
1198 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
1199 random memory access it might by completely random!
1200
1201 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
1202 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
1203 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
1204
1205 - callisto:
1206 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
1207 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
1208 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
1209 Default: -9.0 +4.5
1210 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
1211
1212 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
1213 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
1214
1215 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
1216 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
1217 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
1218 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
1219 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
1220 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
1221 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
1222 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
1223
1224 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
1225 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
1226
1227 - callisto: for the common extractors
1228 + MExtractFixedWindow
1229 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
1230 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
1231 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
1232 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
1233 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
1234
1235 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
1236 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
1237 hilocalib_df6.root
1238
1239 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
1240 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
1241 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
1242
1243 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
1244 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
1245 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
1246 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
1247 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
1248 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
1249 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
1250
1251 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
1252 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
1253 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
1254 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
1255 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
1256 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
1257
1258 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
1259
1260 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
1261 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
1262
1263 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
1264 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
1265 changed only minimally
1266
1267 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
1268 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
1269 MJSpectrum (sponde)
1270
1271 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
1272 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
1273 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
1274 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
1275
1276 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
1277 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
1278
1279
1280
1281 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
1282
1283 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
1284 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
1285 by 0.2 slices)
1286
1287 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
1288 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
1289
1290 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
1291 also done with a intercalibration input file
1292
1293 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
1294
1295 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
1296
1297 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
1298
1299 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
1300
1301 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
1302
1303 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
1304
1305 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
1306
1307 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
1308 which is more than 5 times the variance
1309
1310 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
1311
1312 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
1313 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
1314
1315 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
1316 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
1317
1318 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
1319 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
1320
1321 - update the reference lines for the december data
1322
1323 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
1324 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
1325 pulse position changes much.
1326
1327 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
1328 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
1329 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
1330
1331 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
1332 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
1333 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
1334 runs a lot.
1335
1336 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
1337 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
1338
1339 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
1340 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
1341 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
1342 than with old versions (wrong units))
1343
1344 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
1345 formats are still unsupported by root)
1346
1347 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
1348 for automatic processing
1349
1350
1351
1352 *** Version 0.9 (2005/03/23)
1353
1354 - Calibration is now done autmatically into photo-electrons like
1355 decided by the Collaboration Board
1356
1357 - Reference lines in the display can be read from resource file
1358
1359 - Interlaced calibration events can be handled by callisto
1360
1361 - Hi-Gain vs. Lo-Gain calibration constants can be calculated
1362 and applied in callisto.
1363
1364 - class MJCalibTest can be called by callisto
1365
1366 - callisto can now run with three data types: rawdata, rootdata, MC
1367
1368 - added two classes mreport/MReportStarguider.cc and
1369 mreport/MReportStarguider.h for implementing starguider-data
1370
1371 - the output of merpp-update now contains starguider information:
1372 MReportStarguider and MTimeStarguider
1373
1374 - Fixed bug in MHHadronness.cc which made that the displayed Q-factor
1375 values were lower than they should. This was more visible for high
1376 energy (Size) events.
1377
1378 - Made MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter the default for callisto
1379
1380 - added a new loop to callisto to support the correct extraction of
1381 the pedestal and pedestal rms through the signal extractor
1382
1383 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure
1384 (MHexagonalFT)
1385
1386 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure
1387 in a tasklist (MHexagonalFTCalc) example: hft.C
1388
1389 - added class to enhance the MCerPhotEvt from the Magic camera geometry
1390 MGeomCamMagic to a enhanced geometry MGeomCamMagicXT having only
1391 small pixels, example: extendcam.C
1392
1393 - added possibility to write data to memory (TTree) using MWriteRootFile
1394
1395 - added possibility to read a TTree stored only in memory by MReadTree
1396
1397 - new classes to deal with the interleaved calibration events:
1398 MTriggerPattern, MTriggerPatternDecode and MFTriggerPattern
1399
1400 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
1401
1402 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
1403 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
1404 the slices by statistics
1405 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
1406 signal extractor without randomization
1407 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
1408 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
1409 randomly fixed)
1410 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
1411 long as nobody really needs it:
1412 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
1413 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
1414
1415 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
1416
1417 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
1418 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
1419 roughly 0.5%
1420
1421 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
1422 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
1423 batch mode possible:
1424 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
1425
1426 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
1427 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)
1428
1429 - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
1430 camera files.
1431
1432 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
1433
1434 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
1435 accurate now
1436
1437 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
1438 MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix
1439 * the new implementation is faster and
1440 * needs less storage space
1441
1442 - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the
1443 whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)
1444
1445 - implemented new image parameters for the border length of
1446 the shower image (MNewImagePar2)
1447
1448 - implemented wobble-mode in ganymed
1449
1450 - new class (MJOptimize) taking care of all optimization processes

1455
1456 - New combined signal and time extractor
1457 MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
1458
1459 - The Report for the trigger section in the CC run summary has been
1460 updated, and now the IPRs (Individual Pixel Rates) are available.
1461
1462 - new macros for database interaction: filldotrun.C, filldotrbk.C
1463
1464 - added new program which can convert colored output which was redirected
1465 into a file back into colored text (for example to display it with
1466 more): showlog
1467
1468 - added new program to display an MStatusArray of plots (stored with
1469 MStatusDisplay) from a file: showplot
1470
1471 - Added support for Sequences (MSequence). Sequences are blocks of run
1472 files containing the same calibration and belonging to the same
1473 source
1474
1475 - Added a new task (MTaskEnv) which can be used in setup files to switch
1476 between different tasks (for example to choose a signal extractor)
1477
1478 - Implemented automatic file splitting in MWriteRootFile
1479
1480 - After image cleaning an island index is assigned to all used pixels.
1481 The index corresponds to the order of the islands in size.
1482
1483 - added a cleaning which takes signal height _and_ arrival time into
1484 account: probability cleaning (for more details see MImgCleanStd)
1485
1486 - added a cleaning which takes takes the absolute number of photons
1487 times the area ratio as cleaning level
1488 (for more details see MImgCleanStd)
1489
1490 - Changed calculation of image parameters such, that it can be done
1491 for all used pixels or the pixels with a defined island index only
1492
1493 - implemented new image parameters displaying the number of islands,
1494 saturated hi-gain and lo-gain pixels (MImagePar, MHImagePar)
1495
1496 - event display in executable changed to support also calibrated files
1497 (done with MJCalibrateSignal)
1498
1499 - added program doing the calibration and the signal extraction
1500 and signal calibration: callisto Most part of the setup is done
1501 by a resource file: callisto.rc
1502
1503 - implemented support for pixels with negative IDs (Raw file format
1504 version 4)
1505
1506 - implemented an new option in merpp (--auto-time) to get the time
1507 range for cc and/or caco data from the run header of the raw data
1508
1509 - New star-program (star and MJStar). Taking calibrated data from
1510 callisto/MJCalibrateSignal as input. The setup is done through
1511 a resource file: star.rc
1512
1513 - Added possibility to setup the eventloop in the mars-executable
1514 Camera Display by a resource file: mars.rc
1515
1516 - The the mars-executable Camera Display can now also read
1517 calibrated data files written by callisto/MJCalibrateSignal
1518
1519 - Added a new class which can calculate the source position in
1520 the camera from a pointing model known to be correct and
1521 the pointing model used for observations (MSrcPosFromModel)
1522
1523 - added a new version of the class calculating the effective on-time
1524 MHEffectiveOnTime. It unifies the old classes MHEffOnTime,
1525 MHEffOnTimeTime, MHEffOnTimeTheta, MHTimeDiff, MHTimeDiffTime and
1526 MHTimeDiffTheta.
1527
1528 - added the possibility to count how often a signal is above (or
1529 below) a certain threshold in MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot (this
1530 can replace MHTriggerLvl0)
1531
1532 - added ore convinient ways to set the axis-titles of your histograms
1533 in your macro to some MH-classes like: MH3, MHVsTime, MHSectorVsTime,
1534 MHPixVsTime, MHVsTime, MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot
1535
1536
1537
1538 *** Version 0.8.5 (2004/08/06)
1539
1540 - new Signal Extractors: MExtractFixedWindowSpline
1541 and MExtractAmplitudeSpline
1542
1543 - implementes interleave in merpp to be able to merpp parts of a file
1544
1545 - implemented force-functionality to merpp
1546
1547 - star display to display star catalogs (MAstroCatalog)
1548
1549 - star display to 'mirror' stars to the camera (MAstroCamera)
1550
1551 - implemented a new cleaning option which allows cleaning scaled with
1552 the real ratio of the rms depending on the pixel size, not only the
1553 square root of the pixelsize (MImgCleanStd, MCameraData)
1554
1555 - removed obsolete MBlind* classes
1556
1557 - Signal extractor taking the AB flag into account implemented (this makes
1558 an odd number of slices for signal extraction possible
1559 (MExtractSignalABcorr)
1560
1561 - implemented a class extracting the pedestal from the raw-data (events)
1562 itself using empty lo-gain (MpedCalcFromLoGain)
1563
1564 - Added mean values to MPedPhotCam
1565
1566 - Added Makefile for Darwin (this OS is NOT officially supported!)
1567

1991 - Added:
1992 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
1993 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
1994 they are needed in the flux calculation in
1995 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
1996 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
1997 of Theta and the true energy
1998
1999 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
2000 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
2001 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
