4
5 - database: the position used for the pulse pos check was missing
6 in the callisto output and could thus not be filled into the DB.
7 Also the old values seemed not exactly the PulsePos used for
8 teh check.
9
10 - general: Now the output files (calib*.root, etc) also contain the
11 resource file (to check it open it in the TBrowser and choose Print()
12 from the context menu)
13
14 - general: Dataset files now allow to overwrite the default path
15 to search for sequence and data files. Note, that the program
16 option and individual resources will overwrite it. For example:
17 SequencePath: /magic/montecarlo/sequences
18 DataPath: /magic/montecarlo/star
19
20 - general: Fixed a problem with variables in MDataPhrase. It seems
21 that only optimdisp (didn't work) was effected.
22
23 - general: Some improvements to the optim and train processing. For
24 example the ststud window now got a proper title.
25
26 - general: The "Status Display: " was removed from the window title
27 within an Eventloop.
28
29 - merpp: Merpp can read file format version 9 now. Please realize
30 that for file format version 9 the extraction range is different
31 and must be set to 0/49 instead of 15/64 in callisto_mux.rc until
32 the first and last 15 slices have been removed from all MUX data.
33
34 - mars: Similar to writing movies you can now select events which
35 should be displayed in your display. Therefore add the following
36 lines to your mars.rc:
37 MFEvtNumber.FileName: ganymed00223552.root
38 MFEvtNumber.Selector: ThetaSquared.fVal<0.04 && DataType.fVal>0.5
39 The input file can be a ganymed-file after (ganymed*.root) or
40 before (ganymed*-summary.root) file. For example to select all events
41 from your on sample after cuts (excluding the ThetaSq cut) use
42 MFEvtNumber.Selector: DataType.fVal>0.5
43 To show all events from your on-sample after quality cuts
44 use the summary file instead.
45
46 - mars: new ways to call mars are implemented. Instead
47 of calling
48 mars filename.root
49 you can now also use
50 mars sequence.txt
51 or
52 mars sequence.txt inputpath
53 or replace sequence.txt by the sequence number if the default
54 sequence file should be used.
55
56 - mars: The default size has been increased
57
58 - mars: There are two new heckboxes which allow to switch off
59 the calculated image parameters
60
61 - callisto: was broken for MCs... fixed.
62
63 - callisto: improved calculation of spline coefficients a lot. This
64 leads to a further improvement of the event rate calibrating MUX
65 data of about 15% (175evt/s instead of 150evt/s)
66
67 - callisto: finally the raw data we read is now real 16bit (with
68 10bit precision) for MUX data and not a stripped 8bit number
69 anymore. Due to scaling of the numbers (without precision loss
70 into an [0-256[ range, the final numbers for pedestal, pedestalrms
71 and extacted signal don't change. However, at all places where
72 raw data is directly accessed (eg. saturation and variation
73 limits in the signal- and pedestal-extraction) the numbers
74 refer still to the data's 16bit range.
75
76 - callisto: The maximum arrival time difference used in the bad
77 pixel treatment is now in units of nanoseconds, which leads to 3.0ns
78 for both, old FADC and MUX-FADC, data.
79
80 - callisto: Be aware that callisto is now calibrating the arrival time
81 in nanoseconds rather than time slices. Also all following tasks
82 have been changed to assume ns units now. If you star data
83 calibrated with an older version it might be necessary to adapt
84 some timimng parameters (Muon Analysis and MFSoftwareTrigger)
85 to obtain optimal results. The plot in the PulsePos tab
86 will now be in ns, too. This might also mean that the Muon
87 analysis in star might not work as perfect as expected as long
88 as old files read in.
89
90 - star: For speed reasons events suitable for the muon analysis
91 are now also preselected by fConcCOG<0.1 which seems to be a very
92 good preselector for muons.
93
94 - star: is now calculating a new timing parameter the Slope along
95 the major and minor axis of the shower. Therefore a numerical
96 solution of a line-fit is used. To use MHillasExt.fSlopeLong
97 and MHillasExt.fSlopeTrans don't forget to multiply it with
98 the sign stored in MHillasSrc.fCosDeltaAlpha as usual.
99
100 - star: The parameters fInnerSize, fInnerLeakage1 and fInnerLeakage2
101 have been removed from MNewImagePar. They have never been good for
102 anything.
103
104 - star: Implemented a new recursive algorithm which is supposed to be
105 faster. Also implemented new cleaning oiptions, which are:
106 + CleanLevel0:
107 The cleaning level above single core pixels can be kept
108 + KeepIsolatedPixels:
109 Define whether single core pixels should be kept
110 + TimeLevel1:
111 The coincidence window in nanoseconds to single used neighbors
112 + TimeLevel2:
113 The coincidence window in nanoseconds to two used neighbors
114 + PostCleanType:
115 MOde in which a time dependent post cleaning should be applied
116 0: No post cleaning
117 1: Require for each used pixels at least one used neighbor
118 within a time-window of CleanLevel1
119 2: Require for each used pixels at least two used neighbor
120 within a time-window of CleanLevel2
121 3: Require first two and second one used neighbor
122 within a time-window of CleanLevel1 and fCleanLevel2
123 respectively
124 + RecoverIsolatedPixels:
125 - recoveres isolated core pixels if they have a used neighbor
126
127 - mars/star: The new default cleaning is:
128 + CleanLevel1: 6.0
129 + CleanLevel2: 3.0
130 + CleanTime1: 1.75
131 + CleanTime2: 1.75
132 + PostCleanType: 3
133
134 - star/ganymed: The old spark-cuts have been replaced by new ones.
135 These new spark cuts have been cross checked with the sequences
136 84720 (before splitter), 101041 (after splitter) and 223539 (new
137 FADCs). In all cases they seperate pretty well, but of course not
138 perfect. Monte Carlos have suggested to tighten the cuts a little
139 bit further at low sizes. This has been done.
140
141 - ganymed: IMPORTANT - The spark cuts have been changed to match
142 all available data more or less well. This might mean that for
143 YOUR data there are still sparks visible.
144 Whenever you do an analysis you have to make sure that NO sparks
145 survive your cuts!
146
147 - ganymed: The old hadronness and size cuts have gotten new indices
148 (10, 11). The old indices 8 and 9 now mean an additional condition
149 for ghostbusting based on the formula (dist-c[9])*c[8]-slope.
150 If you want to switch off this cut just move the line far away enough,
151 e.g. by setting c[9] to -500. Please update your ganymed.rc files
152 accordingly!
153 The unit of c[9] is deg. It is the dist at which your cut will
154 cross the slope==0. The unit of the slope is ns/deg. So if
155 you readin files calibrated with an older Mars-version you
156 have to adapt the default value for c[9] to the FADCs:
157 - Multiply by two for the MUX FADCs (run number > 200.000)
158 - Multiply by 0.3 for the Siegen FADCs (run number < 200.000)
159 - Multiply by 42 for the meaning of life (run number = 200.000)
160
161 - ganymed: The old Cut0 is now called CutQ and is calculated before
162 the source position is caluclated. If you need a quality cut
163 including source dependant data (be very carefull with this!)
164 you have to use Cut0 instead.
165
166 - ganymed: now properly supports three off regions in wobble mode.
167 It will be the default from now on in ganymed_wobble.rc. To change
168 the number of off-regions use
169 NumOffSourcePositions: 1
170 in your ganymed.rc. Also by default no off-theta cut will be done
171 anymore so that you will get a background level higher than the
172 signal level in your ThetaSq plot for ThetaSq>0.2.
173 Due to this be carefull changing the scaling mode away from
174 "None". You will underestimate your signal if your scale interval
175 is not properly set.
176 (Rem: ThetaSqN is no longer needed)
177
178 - ganymed: is now storing the events of all (on- and off-)
179 source positions even in the case of more than one off-source
180 position. This should allow sponde to work properly and the
181 energy estimation is done correctly in all cases (without any
182 "nearest position" trick)
183
184 - ganymed: From 85340 (19.3.2006) on a real starguider calibration
185 with a real pointing model for the starguider is done, calibrated
186 with more than thousand tpoints taken from this date on.
187
188 - ganymed: was broken for Wobble-MCs... fixed.
189
190 - ganymed: The default cuts (MFMagicCuts) and the disp-parametrization
191 has changed. Note that your old ganymed.rc will be incompatible
192 with the new algorithms! Please check the ganymed.rc files and
193 the class description of MFMagicCuts for more information.
194 It is recommended at the moment to use identical Disp-Parametrizations
195 for on/off- and wobble-mode. If cuts are optimized only
196 the Area-Cut (parameters 2,3,4) and the theta-sq cut (parameter 1)
197 should be optimized. All other values should be kept as they are.
198 If you want to do an anylsis without timing a parameters, you can
199 switch off the timing cuts by seeting parameter 7 to a very small
200 value (eg. -99). To remove the slope parameter from the disp
201 paremtrization set parameter 8 to 0.
202
203 - ganymed: The distribution of observation time versus zenith
204 angle is now shown for off- AND on-data.
205
206 - optim, sponde: should now properly support three off-regions.
207 Just produce your ganymed summary files with three off-regions.
208 optim and sponde will automatically get all off events from
209 all off-regions from this file. Please do not forget to
210 set the scaling in optimwobble.C properly:
211 fit.SetScaleUser(1./3);
212 it is not yet read in automatically (will follow soon).
213 In the case of fixed Scale you can also use
214 cuts.SetThetaCut(MFMagicCuts::kOn);
215 no off-cut needed.
216 Be carefull in case of three off-regions when switching on
217 scale mode. Make sure that the scale interval is set correctly.
218
219 - sponde: In the estimated energy versus monte carlo energy plot the
220 contents where exchanged.... fixed.
221
222 - sponde: the so called "accurate"-mode has been removed. It didn't
223 give any improvement in accuracy, only decreased execution speed.
224
225 - sponde: the so called "simple"-mode has been removed. It didn't
226 give any improvement in simple.
227
228 - sponde: the so called "refill"-mode has been removed. It was anyhow
229 not implemented.
230
231 - sponde: now checks whether the theta distribution of your on-data
232 and the theta-distribution of your Monte Carlo sample (after
233 weighting) fits. If it doesn't fit properly (eg. the Monte Carlo
234 sample is incomplete) execution is stopped. Execution can be forced
235 using the new option --force-theta. Use this option with care!
236
237 - sponde: Proper collection areas can now be constructed also from
238 Monte Carlo samples generated with different maximum impact
239 parameters. Note that in previous version you neither got
240 a warning or failure, nor was there any obvious sign that the
241 collection area was overestimated due to usage of files with
242 different maximum impact parameters.
243
244 - sponde: If MC files with different lower energy limits are used
245 the primary MC spectrum is artificially completed down to the
246 lowest energy used at all. WARNING: that this gives correct
247 collection areas ONLY if none of the events in this region would
248 survive your cuts at all.
249
250 - sponde: the output file now contains more information about
251 the spectrum (eg. the full 2D collection area histogram).
252 Note, that this information can only be written to the file
253 if it is stored automatically via command line argument.
254 If you only store the status display from within the display
255 the information is lost.
256
257 - sponde: added a new tab "EventDist" showing the unweighted real
258 absolute number of events of your sample after cuts. This tells
259 you how many events with this energy you had in your MC files.
260 The same information you get from the error bars of the weighted
261 histograms, but this is less intuitive.
262
263 - sponde: The spectrum plots now show the crab- and 1553-spectrum
264 for comparison. It is not meant to show these curves in
265 publications, they are only for production.
266
267 - sponde: The OriginalMC tree with the events produced by corsika
268 is now processed only once
269
270
271
272 *** Version 1.2 (2007/05/14)
273
274 - database: The database now has two new values Unsuitable50 and
275 Unsuitable01. They express the number of pixels which are
276 unsuitable for more than 50%, respectively more than 1%, of
277 all calibrated event. It is a more accurate number than the
278 previously used numbers, because they only take the first
279 calibration (ignoring the interleaved calibrations) into account.
280
281 - database: The database now has two other new values UnsuitableMax and
282 DeadMax. They express the maximum number of pixels which were
283 unsuitable, respectively dead, during the sequence. Because
284 of high pedestal rms (cars passing) a few events with very high
285 numbers of unsuitable pixels can happen. Not to suffer from this
286 effect we don't take the highest 0.1% of the numbers into account.
287
288 - general: fixed a bug which caused callisto and star to stop working
289 properly because the callisto output was currupted
290
291 - general: a script called scripts/makemovie has been added which
292 simplified the process of producing several movies from a single
293 sequence with different setup.
294
295 - callisto: Some more code cleanup. Started to remove old obsolete
296 code from cvs.
297
298 - callisto: The extraction of the pedestal with the extractor was
299 not random. It seems that extracting at one position is still biased
300 (for example in the first or last slices we could still suffer from
301 switching noise) Now it is completely random.
302
303 - callisto: In MPedCalcPedRun (which is the pedestal extraction from
304 pedestal files) individual pixels could be skipped due to high
305 variations. This was already the case for the pedestal extraction
306 from the lo-gains since the beginning and properly handled
307 there, but was introduced in the extraction from the pedestal files
308 a while ago. To calculate the average value it was still divided
309 by the number of events procesed not by the number of summands
310 really summed. This let to a pedestal which was a tiny amount too
311 small (for a few piels in the order of 0.1%). This led to an slightly
312 positive offset of the randomly extracted pedestal for a few pixels.
313 I doubt that this has a big effect on the result, because the effect
314 on the individual numbers is quite small. Due to this it is suggested
315 that you rerun your calibration to make sure you are without any
316 avoidable bias.
317
318 - callisto: the ArrTimeRmsLimit is now is a check of the deviation from
319 the median rms of the absolute arrival time and expressed in significance
320 levels. This replaces the old meaning of an abolute upper limit. An
321 absolute upper limit doesn't make much sense, because in our data
322 all arrival times are shifted at the same time (in fact it might be
323 a shift of the artificial trigger w.r.t. to the light flash).
324
325 - callisto: Added a new tab "BadPixTm" which shows the time evolution
326 of the number of unsuitable pixels over the whole sequence. This
327 is usefull mainly to judge if an intermediate calibration had
328 problems.
329
330 - callisto: Added a new tab "DeadPixTm" which shows the time evolution
331 of the number of dead pixels over the whole sequence. Dead pixels
332 in this context are unmapped pixels, i.e. pixels which could not
333 be interpolated, and thus are ignored in the further analysis.
334
335 - callisto: It is now possible to use the position of the maximum
336 of the spline as arrival time instead of the leading edge even
337 when using the integral for the signal. Therefor set the extraction
338 type to kIntegralRel ("IntegralRelative") and the relative height
339 ("HeightTm") to -1:
340 MJPedestalC1.ExtractSignal.ExtractionType: IntegralRelative
341 MJPedestalC1.ExtractSignal.HeightTm: -1
342
343
344
345
346 *** Version 1.1 (2007/04/27)
347
348 - general: The new class MGeomCamDwarf contains the camera geometry
349 for our prefered Dwarf camera and can be used to create general
350 geometries of roundish or hexagonal cameras.
351
352 - mars: The default cleaning is now abolute 8.5/4.0.
353
354 - mars: The resource file mars.rc now contains examples for MUX data
355
356 - merpp: Implemented file format version 8 (MUX FADC data). The 16-bit
357 data containing only 10-bit information is still cooked down to
358 8-bit, by cutting away the lowest 8-bit.
359
360 - merpp: When reading raw data the data is now stored in a single
361 array. The lo-gain array is obsolete. The interface stays the same.
362
363 - callisto: To process the new MUX data use the resource file
364 callisto_mux.rc
365
366 - callisto: The -root and -raw options to read merpped raw data have
367 been removed
368
369 - callisto: If the -mc option is given the sequence-name can now be
370 replaced by the MC sequence number
371
372 - callisto: If the sequence file contains "MonteCarlo: Yes" the
373 -mc option can now be omitted
374
375 - callisto: Started further simplification by removing obsolete
376 dependancies on MCalibIntensity*Cams.
377
378 - callisto: removed unsused intensity calibration from MJCalibration
379 for further simplification
380
381 - callisto: for simplification removed references to
382 MBadPixelsIntensityCam, MCalibrationIntensityQECam,
383 MCalibrationIntensityRelTimeCam, MCalibrationIntensityTestCam,
384 MCalibrationIntensityChargeCam, and MCalibrationIntensityBlindCam
385 (this should at minimum change nothing at all, and at maximum
386 improve thing if these containers where somewhere not handled
387 properly)
388
389 - callisto: Added the option to write an event movie. Please use
390 this option with care (huge files) but exessively to understand
391 our events. For further documentation please refer to the
392 IACT wiki
393 (currently at http://www.astro.uni.wuerzburg.de/mediawiki-1.9.0)
394
395 - callisto: Improved binning for the pulse position check histogram
396
397 - callisto: The code calculating the pulse position checknow takes
398 the pedestal into account
399
400 - callisto: The arrival time is now stored with full precision this
401 helps to get rid of artefacts in histograms. For the signal this
402 is not necessray because it is displayed in log-scale anyhow
403
404 - callisto: Fixed a problem with internal exclusions. Pixels which
405 have once been marked as unsuitable didn't get the necessary
406 histograms filled anymore to be rechecked with each interleaved
407 calibration.
408
409 - callisto: The relative arrival time resolution (the rms of the
410 relative arrival time offset) is now checked against its
411 median and the median deviation, instead of the average
412 plus an absolute offset.
413
414 - callisto: The relative arrival time offset is now calculated
415 w.r.t. its median not w.r.t. to an artificial reference pixel.
416
417 - callisto: The relative time calibration now marks pixels with
418 outlaying offset as unsuitable
419
420 - callisto: The interleaved relative time calibration has been switched
421 on. The advantage is that pixels which are marked as outliers
422 now can recover. An improvement over time is not expected, because
423 the relative time calibration seems stable.
424
425 - ganymed: If the dataset file containes "MonteCarlo: Yes" the "-mc"
426 option can now be omitted.
427
428 - ganymed: If either the dataset file containes "MonteCarlo: Yes"
429 or the option "-mc" is specified as default the monte carlo datacenter
430 paths (/magic/montecarlo/...) are used if not overwritten in the
431 dataset file.
432
433 - ganymed: The output files now contain run- and event-number for all
434 events, accessible as RunNumber.fVal and EvtNumber.fVal
435
436 - ganymed: Added a plot showing the source position in the camera also
437 for wobble mode
438
439 - ganymed: In addition to the existing task which can be setup to
440 be executed after Cut1 a final task called "EstimateEnergy"
441 has been added, executed before writing the final output
442 (ganymed00000000.root). The task setup in all three cases
443 can be choosen individually. (For all three(!) cases you
444 can for example choose MRanForestCalc. For examples see all
445 sponde*.rc and all ganymed*rc)
446
447 - ganymed: If a container "MEstimatedEnergy" is found in the
448 parameter list (eg. because it was setup by MEstimateEnergy)
449 it will be written to the output file.
450
451
452
453 *** Version 1.0 (2007/02/16)
454
455 - database: Website to plot values from the database has been added.
456
457 - database: The rate of spark events as found by star is now kept
458 and the rate after cleaning is now with spark events subtracted
459
460 - general: The changes to the interpretation of phrases lead to
461 a problem with the access of MHMatrix objects (eg. "M[0]")... fixed.
462
463 - general: Added example files how you can create your own calendar
464 (eg. as christmas present) with Mars. Just run
465 root macros/tutorials/calendar.C
466
467 - general: Added a possibility to display grouped data in the plotdb.C
468 macro (and similar macros). This allows to plot hourly, nightly,
469 weekly, monthly and yearly averages.
470 For more details see the plotall function of the macro
471
472 - general: fixed the error display of the camera display. It showed
473 wrong results.
474
475 - general: fixed a memory leak when reading many MStatusDisplays
476
477 - general: added a macro (macros/tutorials/mirrordelay.C) plotting the delay
478 between a spherical and a parabolic mirror
479
480 - callisto: We have a new pulse position check which takes the properties
481 of the extractor automatically into account. So no need to set
482 ExtractWinLeft/Right anymore. Again a check for pulses too much to the
483 left is done. If possible the lo-gain extraction start and hi-gain
484 extraction end is changed accordingly. If no proper extraction range
485 can be set (hi-gain too much to the left) an error is raised.
486
487 - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected
488
489 - callisto: Redone the signal extraction this includes:
490 + Unified the algorithms to extract the pedestal for all pedestal
491 extractions done
492 + Unification of hi- and lo-gain into one array
493 + Unification of hi- and lo-gain extraction for Spline and
494 Digital Filter (means now exactly the same algorithm is used,
495 not a copy-and-pasted one)
496 + Store pedestal subtracted data in a common place
497 + Improved extraction algorithms. If the algorithms search a
498 maximum but don't find one they don't return the maximum anymore
499 + Improved the extraction such that a information for signal
500 and time which is consistent is returned
501 + replaced the numerical spline with a (not slower) analytical
502 solution
503 + Lowered the saturation limit from 250 to 245 to make sure that
504 we are far away in all pixels from problems with the clock-noise
505 + The start of the lo-gain extraction is calculated from the hi-gain
506 arrival time. In case of saturation an estimation is used.
507 + the hi-gain window was extended to slice 16. This allows extraction
508 of very late pulses in single pixels or of huge hadron showers.
509 + Now uses the lo-gain extraction range for pedestal extraction,
510 not the hi-gain range in the lo-gain
511
512 - callisto: New hi-/lo-gain calibration constants have been produced
513 for all periods from the statistic of the whole period. They are
514 now used automatically depending on the periods. The old constants
515 where deviation in avarega about 2%-3%. The constants are very
516 stable from period to period (<<1%) except for exchanged channels.
517 In a few cases the constants used so far were off by 1%-2% (maybe
518 temperature effects?)
519
520 - callisto: To gain obsolete space we do not write the
521 MPedestalFundamental anymore. Also calibration and bad pixel
522 treatment is not done for it anymore because it has never been used.
523
524 - callisto: Fixed a bug in the seuqence handling which caused the
525 light condition to be ignored
526
527 - star: Added two new tabs "Sparkless" and "Sparks" these tabs show
528 basically the same as "Cleaned" but the distribution devided into
529 the events fullfilling a spark cut or being rejected by it.
530 This cut can be changed from star.rc (see example inside) by
531 the "SparkCut" directive
532
533 - star: Star displays now the average individual pixel-rate (IPR) versus
534 time and the average discriminator threshold (DT) of all pixels.
535
536 - optim: fixed a problem with the optim-macros which was due to a bug
537 in the new phrase parsing
538
539 - ganymed: To get a nice FalseSource plot (instead of the all-information
540 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
541 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
542 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
543 the other options)
544 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!
545
546 - ganymed/optim/train: The cut program, trainings- and optimization
547 macros could run with less files found than expected from the
548 sequence-files. No the execution is stopped in this case.
549
550 - ganymed: now stores the dataset in the output file with all information
551 contained (as sequence number, sequence path, data path) so that the
552 used dataset file can be recreated complete from the output
553
554 - sponde: now also allows the uasge of random forest
555
556 - sponde: added a plot showing the cut efficiency
557
558 - sponde: Using root versions < 5.13/04 still resulted in wrong binomial
559 errors (eg. effecting the collection area) because the errors of the
560 two histograms were swapped in the calculation, which makes a difference
561 in the case the histograms contains weighted events. Aditionally the
562 totalarea was incorrectly taken into account, which results in too small
563 errors, which makes a difference at low statistics were the errors
564 or the collection area dominate.
565
566
567
568 *** Version 0.10.3 (2006/10/23)
569
570 - database: Implemented ObservationMode flag in websites.
571
572 - database: For sequences there is now also the stoptime available on the
573 websites.
574
575 - database: Removed ManuallyChanged flag from sequence-info websites,
576 as it is not needed anymore with the new sequence building algorithm.
577
578 - general: MRolke.[cc,h]: Modification of TRolke from root_v5.12.00b.
579 Class for calculation of confidence intervals (upper limits).
580 Use model 3 or 4 for upper limit calculation for MAGIC observations.
581 Please read the class instruction of TRolke for more information.
582
583 - general: The programs now return 0xfe if the requested resource file
584 doesn't exist.
585
586 - general: Errors comming from root itself are now not output to
587 stderr anymore but to our default (colored) log-stream.
588
589 - general: Changed the interface to TFormula such that now everything
590 is parsed by TFormula, which should allow to use phrases even
591 without paranthesis correctly parsed.
592
593 - callisto: replaced the AdHoc number of effective integration slices
594 in the digital filter by an average of the correct number, averaged
595 over all possible set of weights. This also gives correct numbers
596 for the lo-gains which were totally wrong before.
597
598 - callisto: drastically reduced memory consumption by not storing
599 all intermediate calibration results in memory anymore (we might
600 write them into a file in the future)
601
602 - ganymed: To get a nice Theta-Sq plot (instead of the all-information
603 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
604 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
605 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
606 the "DrawAll" option)
607 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!
608
609
610
611 *** Version 0.10.2 (2006/10/15)
612
613 - general: changed the building of the sequence files such, that
614 the source-/project name in case of wobble-sources is not the
615 source/project of the first data run anymore but the new generalized
616 wobble source/project
617
618 - general: Added some functions to MAstro to calculate sun and
619 moon properties
620
621 - general: Added two new macros (starvisday.C and starvisyear.C)
622 which allow to plot the visibility of several stars in one day
623 or of one star along one year
624
625
626
627 *** Version 0.10.1 (2006/10/11)
628
629 - general: HTML logging output was distorted... fixed.
630
631 - general: Changed the writing of the sequencefiles such that only
632 as many pedestal files as giving at least 1000 pedestal events which
633 are nearby the first calibration run are used as pedestal runs
634
635 - sponde: In the calculation of the collection area(s) and the
636 distribution for MOnte Carlo and estimated energy the error
637 calculation was wrong because root didn't take the errors
638 properly into account... fixed.
639
640
641
642 *** Version 0.10 (2006/10/10)
643
644 - general: all executables now check consistency of the root version
645 installed with the root version used for compilation. The return
646 code in this case is 255.
647
648 - general: The algorithm to build seqeunces has been redesigned
649 completly. It is now more flexible in terms of a resource file
650 resources/sequences.rc which can be used to partly overwrite
651 the default algorithm and defined the important part of the
652 algorithm. It also takes correctly into account several ways
653 of taking wobble-data. Currently the new algorithm doesn't take
654 the number of pedestal events anymore into account (so a sequence
655 could have much less than 1000 pedestal events and data runs are
656 no-more used instead)
657
658 - general: a lot of small changes to make the code compatible with
659 root 5.12/00 and gcc 4.1
660
661 - general: Fixed some warnings thrown if more warnings are switched
662 on in the compiler
663
664 - general: Added a function to MMath which returns the Median of
665 the distribution abs(y[i]-median) but at 68:32 division instead
666 of 50:50, which is somehow the median counterpart of the rms.
667
668 - general: MAstroCatalog allows now to read calatog files (as bsc5)
669 even if they are compressed with gzip (recommended compression
670 is with "-1")
671
672 - showplot:
673 + batch mode creation of image files now works with root 5.12/00
674 + added support for writing bmp (though it never produces
675 bmp which can be read by programs like xv or gimp)
676 + added support for xml
677 + added new option to start the display with a different size, by
678 --display-width=nnn or --display-height=nnn
679 + added options to define the canvas size when the display is started
680 --canvas-width=nnn or --canvas-height=nnn
681 the option can also be used for batch-mode conversion
682 + added an option which automatically fits the display size to the
683 desktop-size: --auto-size
684
685 - merpp: didn't recognize files with the extension .raw.gz - fixed.
686
687 - merpp: allow the reports to have 1000ms due to a bug in the camera
688 program.
689
690 - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected. For
691 details see MRawRunHeader::FixAssignment()
692
693 - callisto: Callisto now raises an error if one of the input files could
694 not be opened.
695
696 - callisto: In some rare cases it could happen that in the signal
697 extraction of the digital filter the extractor returned nonsense
698 results due a wrong initializion of a variable (this happens in
699 cases in which the extracted signal is exactly zero or the
700 digital filter couldn't slide because of a too small extraction
701 window, which could happen in the lo-gain extraction)
702
703 - callisto: The lo-gains have been marked as valid in some cases
704 when they got not extracted at all (deltsumlo=deltatimelo=0) because
705 the allowed extraction range (fLoGainLast-fLoGainFirst) was
706 smaller than the number of slices (fLoGainWindowSize) needed
707 by the lo-gain extractor
708
709 - callisto: Updated absolute calibration constants (muon calibration)
710
711 - callisto: fixed a bug which caused the hi-gain saturation not
712 to be handled properly in the spline (the position of the
713 saturation was calculated incorrectly)
714
715 - callisto: fixed a bug which gave weird results if hi- _and_
716 lo-gain could not be extracted properly. In some cases hi-
717 and lo-gain have not been extracted at all and the random result
718 got calibrated. In other cases the hi-gain was saturating and the
719 lo-gain has not been extracted. For this a completly arbitraty
720 scale factor was applied to the result from extracting the
721 charge of the saturating hi-gain.
722
723 - callisto: improves handling of extracted signal if lo- and/or
724 hi-gain could not be extracted properly. If no appropriate
725 calibration of either the signal or the arrival time is possible
726 the pixel is now markes as unsuitable instead of estimated.
727
728 - callisto: Fixed a problem in the spline extraction which gave
729 weird results if the signal was extracted from the first (and
730 highest) slice (as a workaround extraction from the first
731 slice has been forbidden)
732
733 - callisto: Fixed a bug regarding the use of the QE which doesn't
734 effect the result because the default is used anyhow.
735 (The bug was there since 14/07/2005)
736
737 - callisto: Changed the default for fgLoGainStartShift to -2.4
738
739 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused all hi-/lo-gain calibration
740 factors to be always 10 for all pixels as soon as the first
741 calibration update has happend.
742
743 - callisto: Fixed the hi-/lo-gain offset for the Digital Filter. It
744 was off by more than one slice (which gives wrong values for
745 pixels which have saturated the hi-gain) This was a problem
746 mainly for timing studies, not so much for the automatic standard
747 analysis. Also the values for the Spline have been changed slightly:
748 + Digital Filter from 1.70 to 0.95
749 + Spline from 1.39 to 1.30
750 The numbers were sorted out by an extensive test in the
751 test-database.
752
753 - callisto: Removed the tab showing the average calibrated arrival
754 time. It never gave useful information.
755
756 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoCal" which shows the ratio between hi- and
757 lo-gain pulse for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain have saturated
758 and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above the
759 LoGainSwitch.
760
761 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoOff" which shows the offset between hi- and
762 lo-gain pulse position (after application of LoGainOffset, which
763 means in the ideal case it is 0) for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain
764 have saturated and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above
765 the LoGainSwitch.
766
767 - callisto: After extensive tests a new threshold level for determination
768 of the pulse position has been found at 50phe. This is due to the
769 fact that for lower pulses the arrival time changes its average
770 behaviour dramatically. It tends to the average of the extraction
771 range and starts sticking to non-floating point numbers (5, 6, 7, ...)
772
773 - callisto: Added two more plots to the calibration part. The average
774 extracted signal and the average extracted arrival time as
775 extracted by the signal extractor (This can help debugging problems
776 because it doesn't involve a fit)
777
778 - star: changed the fit for the effective on time such that initial
779 values are calculated automatically now instead of using build
780 in values. This makes the fit more indepedant of the underlaying
781 rates. With a test of ~350 sequences in the test database it could
782 be shown that the new fit gives the same result +/-1sek.
783 The highest deviation was +5s the lowest -10s. You can now control
784 the bahaviour with two resource values:
785 MHEffectiveOnTime.FistBin: 3
786 MHEffectiveOnTime.NumEvents: 12000
787 Use FirstBin=1 and NumEvents=120 to fit the effective on time
788 from the resulting gamma candidates
789
790 - star: The Center histogram in MHHillas is now by default displayed
791 with the colz draw-option
792
793 - ganymed: now produces valid error codes if failed
794
795 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts now supports a hadronness cut. Switch it on
796 with the option "hadronness" instead of "area" or "both" if
797 you want to use both cuts. The hadronness cut includes a fixed
798 cut in hadronness (index 8) and a fixed cut in size (index 9).
799
800 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts: fixed abug introduced 2005/7/14 which caused
801 the M3Long of the anti source to be not properly evaluated
802 (actually is was evaluated as a unique random number) in case
803 of optimization with anti-theta cut switched on. This might have
804 lead to improper, but not necessarily wrong, optimization results.
805
806 - ganymed: ganymed_onoff.rc, ganymed_wobble.rc - updated with comments
807 how to use random forest
808
809 - ganymed: use the same spark cuts as in ganymed_wobble.rc as in
810 ganymed_onoff.rc. Seems to be unintentional that they were different.
811
812 - sponde: Since the introduction of the possibility to define a
813 normalization energy instead of using the integral the default
814 was not using the integral anymore but a normalization energy of
815 1GeV. It is now the integral again.
816
817 - sponde: Fixed a problem in the weighting which did not allow
818 a MC slope of -1.
819
820
821
822 *** Version 0.9.6 (2006/05/24)
823
824 - general: changed the binning of the azimuthal profile of the camera
825 such that it is aligned with the 60deg boundaries.
826
827 - merpp: better handling of problems with the TH, TD part of the
828 CC-REPORT for files older than 200507190 and 200412210
829 respectively
830
831 - merpp: improved handling of RECEIVERS-COM-ERROR in CC-REPORT
832
833 - merpp: implementd latest changes in starguider reports (sinc 9th May)
834
835 - callisto: if an arrival time is extracted outside the fadc range is
836 was set to the boundary before. Now a random number is assigned
837 instead to avoid unfortunate coincidences of arrival times just
838 by this arbitrary value.
839
840 - callisto: added a new option to callisto.rc which allows
841 to set the maximum arrival time difference allowed for the
842 badpixel algorithm to determin whether a pixels belongs to a shower:
843 MJCalibrateSignal.MBadPixelsTreat.MaxArrivalTimeDiff: 0.9
844
845 - callisto: changed the old value (0.5) for MaxArrivalTimeDiff
846 to 0.9 as suggested by Stefan due to a recent study on the fraction
847 of pixels surviving the image cleaning
848
849 - callisto: switched off error in case of "pulse is too much to the left"
850
851 - callisto: The extraction window is not adapted anymore. This means that
852 the pulse is extracted from the full range. The draw-back is that the
853 background (pedestal) will become slightly higher. Switching on/off
854 the PulsePosCheck in the callisto.rc only effects filling the
855 histograms.
856 WARNING: If the pulse is too much to the left data is calibrated!
857 Check the PulsePosCheck-PulsePosition AND the Inhomogeneity parameter
858 in the database to make sure that your data is valid!
859
860 - star: Show also the number of stars correlated correctly by the
861 starguider
862
863 - ganymed: implemented a new class (MHThetaSqN) which allows to use more
864 than one off-source region in wobble-mode. To use it add the following to
865 your ganymed_wobble.rc:
866 + MJCut.NameHist: MHThetaSqN (switch the new feature on)
867 + MHThetaSqN.NumOffSourcePos: 3 (define number of off-regions)
868 + MHThetaSqN.DoOffCut: Yes,No (switch on/off the off-cut)
869 + Cut1.ThetaCut: None
870 + MHThetaSqN.SignificanceCutLevel: 2.0 (increase off-cut by 2.0/1.7)
871
872 - ganymed: in the case the latest report is older than a default (currently
873 one minute) and the current report will be skip the starguider
874 correction and calibration will be reset. The maximum age can be
875 setup from ganymed.rc by (minutes):
876 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAge: 1.5
877
878 - ganymed: A first implementation showing all size-bins for the theta-sq
879 resp. alpha-plots in a single tab automatically
880
881
882
883 *** Version 0.9.5.1 (2006/05/05)
884
885 - general: Added a new option "zdiff" to the Makefile which runs
886 "cvs diff" as "make diff" would do, but with compression
887
888 - general: accelerated MTFillMatrix (used for eample in all training
889 and optimization macros) by skipping some obsolete calles in the
890 eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
891
892 - general: Added a missing feature in the MFilterList class which
893 prevented MFEnergySlope from working correctly in trainenergy.C
894
895 - general: Accelerated the random forest training and usage a bit
896
897 - merpp: Adapted to new raw data file format version 6
898
899 - merpp: fixed a problem with reading the starguider reports
900 after 6.3.2006
901
902 - callisto: At some times six pixels had to be exchanged manually in the
903 data. If the pixels to be swaped are both not found, an error was raised
904 and calibration was stopped. Now it is assumed they are intentially not
905 mapped and the Error has been changed to a Warning.
906
907 - star: Added new image cleaning based on the arrival time of the shower.
908 The new cleaning can be accessed using the parameter "Time" instead of
909 the the old one (like "Absolute) in the star.rc-file.
910 Recommended parameters:
911 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel1: 8.2
912 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel2: 5
913 + MImgCleanStd.CleanRings: 2
914 + MImgCleanStd.KeepSinglePixels: No
915
916 - star: Simplified the calculation of the effective on time. By letting
917 the fit start in the third bin the result should become more stable.
918 The fit quality is now ignored for the theta-plot which is not used
919 in the analysis later. Still better pre-cut which, for example,
920 remove events triggered by car-light (rate changing on a short
921 time-scale) are missing.
922
923 - macros: optimonoff.C, optimwobble.C: implemented a new strategy
924 for optimization (kWeakSource) which is suggested by the Berlin
925 people for weak sources.
926
927 - macros: plotdb.C:
928 + if no dataset and no time-interval is given only sequences with
929 an effective on-time above five minutes are plotted anymore
930 + added a new tab "RelTime" displaying the relative on-time
931 (effective on-time divided by the observation time)
932
933 - macros: optim*.C: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop
934 the optimization became a lot faster
935
936 - ganymed: In the second loop the MHNewImagePar histograms disapeared.
937 To display them just delete the pads displayed on top.
938
939 - ganymed: fixed a bug which could cause strange behaviour in wobble
940 mode if no starguider information was available due to an incorrect
941 initialization of the starguider calibration
942
943 - ganymed: The scale region in the False Source Plot (MHDisp) can now
944 be changed from within the plot. It can also be setup from the
945 resource file using:
946 + MHDisp.fScaleMin: 0.325
947 + MHDisp.fScaleMax: 0.475
948
949 - ganymed, showplot: Fixed a problem with the fit to the off-data
950 (HistOff) which could cause a time lag or an inifinite loop.
951 The bug did not effect the results at all.
952
953 - sponde: Added a new tab showing the effective collection area after
954 trigger (including the software trigger)
955
956 - sponde: MMcSpectrumWeight has a new option which allows to define
957 the scaling factor not by the integral of the events but at
958 a defined energy:
959 e.g. MMcSpectrumWeight.NormEnergy: 200
960
961 - MTFillMatrix, sponde: by skipping some obsolete calles in the
962 eventloops the loop could be accelerated by ~20%
963
964
965
966 *** Version 0.9.5 (2006/03/13)
967
968 - macros: fixed a typo optimwoble.C (SetThetaCut instead SetAlphaCut)
969 and added the standard Disp-parametrization
970
971 - macros: added a new macro datacenter/macros/plotstat.C allowing
972 to plot statistics about the data processing
973
974 - macros: added a new macro to plot the muon correction coefficients
975 versus period (macros/plot/mucal.C)
976
977 - showplot: path inflation for ganymed files was broken
978
979 - callisto: Fixed an important bug. When the number of saturating pixels
980 were calculated the bad pixel information already available from the
981 calibration was ignored. This yields wrong values in case pixels
982 are broken and saturate all the time or randomly.
983
984 - callisto: Updated Muon calibration constants. Spline data now also uses
985 different values for different periods
986
987 - star: The time-evolution shown in the effective on-time plot now displays
988 the axis range (if there are no holes it should be similar to the
989 effective on-time)
990
991 - star: Added two new image parameters:
992 + MNewImagePar.fConcCOG: The ratio of the equivalent signals of
993 the three pixels next to the center of gravity and the size
994 + MNewImagePar.fConcCore: The ratio of the signals of all
995 pixels inside or touching the ellipse and the size
996
997 - ganymed: now stops in requested source isn't found in catalog file
998
999 - ganymed: Many improvements to the phi-plot in wobble mode:
1000 + with a template the ideal background is displayed
1001 + a possible camera inhomogeneity is taken into account
1002 + the anti theta cut is better supported
1003 + the phi cut is automatically calculated from the theta cut
1004 See the examples in ganymed_wobble.rc for more details.
1005
1006 - ganymed: fixed plot for E^2*dN/dE. The spectrum was multiplied with two
1007 times the bin-width instead of the absolute energy
1008
1009 - ganymed: New cuts for on/off and wobble mode
1010
1011 - ganymed: The smearing of the False Source plot has been increased
1012 to 0.06
1013
1014 - ganymed: The starguider calibration can now be changed from the
1015 resource file.
1016 See the examples in ganymed*.rc for more details.
1017
1018 - ganymed: added a new option for on-/off-observations
1019 MJCut.RandomSourcePosition
1020 If switched on the distribution of observation time of the source
1021 position in the camera is calculated from the on-data and randomly
1022 applied with this distrbution to the off-data.
1023
1024 - ganymed: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the
1025 first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
1026
1027 - ganymed: The default in ganymed_onoff.rc is now to determin the source
1028 position in the off-data randomly according to its distribution in the
1029 on-data.
1030
1031

1033 *** Version 0.9.4.3 (2006/02/13)
1034
1035 - general: Fixed a bug in most of the programs which prevented the
1036 compile date in the startup message to be displayed
1037
1038 - general: Simplified program calls. The following abbreviations
1039 are now possible:
1040 showlog callisto 55599
1041 showplot signal 55599
1042 star 55599
1043 callisto 55999
1044 ganymed 2
1045 In this cases the corrsponding root-, log-, sequence- or dataset-
1046 filename is automatically compiled using the default datacenter
1047 paths ("/magic/*")
1048
1049 - general: Fixed a long outstanding bug which made axis tick marks
1050 disappear if MDataFormula was used (eg. abs(x))
1051
1052 - general: Updated MMath with new functions to calculate the results of
1053 a exponential, logarithmic and powerlaw fits analytically.
1054
1055 - general: Updated some macros with comments:
1056 + macros/optim/optimdisp.C
1057 + macros/optim/optimenergy.C
1058 + macros/optim/optimwobble.C:
1059
1060 - general: MTFillMatrix (the class to fill one or two MHMatrix from
1061 files) now allows adding a pre-cut like in the optimization. E.g. this
1062 is useful to perform g/h-separation cuts before training the random
1063 forest.
1064
1065 - general: Between the rund 53300 and 68754 the pixels 553-558 were not
1066 correctly assigned in the raw data assignement table. A fix to correct
1067 the assignment tabel have been implemented.
1068
1069 - general: MAstroCatalog now allows rotating of the sky-grid and stars
1070 by 90, 180 and 270 deg.
1071
1072 - general: the macro plotdb.C now allows to highlight sequences belonging
1073 to a datset. For more details see the descritions in the macro.
1074
1075 - StatusDisplay: Fixed the algorithm to calculate the size ratio
1076 of the display, it gave wrong results espacially for big sizes.
1077 Now the embedded canvas should always have a ratio width/height=3/2.
1078 The "Size" options have been updated with values fitting the 3/2
1079 size ratio.
1080
1081 - RanForest:
1082 + Updated the random forest classes to support also the
1083 regression method implemented by Thomas H.
1084 + added new tutorial macro how to train the random forest
1085 for energy estimation (macros/optim/rfenergyest.C)
1086 + new classes to train the random forest (still in development)
1087 mjtrain/MJTrainEnergy, mjtrain/MJTrainDisp, mjtrain/MJTrainSeparation
1088 + new tutorial macros for random forest training in macros/train
1089 trainenergy.C, traindisp.C, trainseparation.C
1090
1091 - mars: now allows to setup a cut in the resource file mars.rc to choose
1092 the events to be displayed, eg:
1093 Cut.Condition: {0} && {1}
1094 Cut.0: MHillas.fSize>100
1095 Cut.1: MHillas.fSize<900
1096
1097 - merpp: Made aware of the new .rep format 200510250. This includes
1098 interpretation of the Receiver Board Temperatures (MCameraRecTemp),
1099 the discriminator thresholds (MCameraTD) and the disciminator
1100 delays (MCameraTD). All of them come with the CC report and are therefor
1101 written to the CC tree.
1102
1103 - callisto: fixed a bug in the calculation of the arrival times in
1104 the Digital Filter. They were all shifted by the same amount
1105 fHiGainFirst. This caused an offset in the order of the position of
1106 the left border of the extraction window in the times calculated
1107 from high-gain and from low-gain. The bug effected only the absolute
1108 arrival times. The bug was there since 30.1.2005.
1109
1110 - callisto: Changed the ExtractionWindow for the pulse position check
1111 such that the camera inhomogeneity becomes as less as possible and
1112 comparable to the pulso position check switched off. More details
1113 on the study will be given at our result web-page.
1114
1115 - ganymed: ganymed.rc, ganymed_onoff.rc:
1116 changed to new cuts trained with 1ES1218 and Crab-data
1117 for maximum sigma*log10(excess)
1118
1119 - ganymed: In addition to the Hadronness calculator (CalcHadronness)
1120 a new option was implemented to estimate Disp (CalcDisp)
1121
1122 - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow
1123 to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files
1124 --ins=/magic/sequences
1125 and where to search for the image data
1126 --ind=/magic/data/star
1127
1128 - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing
1129 dx/dy from the resource file by
1130 MSrcPosCorrect.Dx
1131 MSrcPosCorrect.Dy
1132
1133 - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars
1134 as the requested source name had were compared (If a source
1135 "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304"
1136 were requested it could happen that the coordinates of
1137 "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed
1138 in addition to its name to the logging output.
1139
1140 - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function
1141 from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement
1142 for on-only analysis'
1143
1144 - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy-
1145 bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17)
1146
1147 - sponde: Added a plot E^2*dN/dE
1148
1149 - sponde: The energy estimator plot should now show values like
1150 they are commonly used.
1151
1152 - sponde: Now MMcSpectrumWeight also excepts formulas with two X
1153 (a powerlaw with cutoff didn't work before)
1154
1155
1156
1157 *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01)
1158
1159 - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C:
1160 how to calculate the threshold
1161
1162 - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with
1163 MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino
1164 and MagicReversi)
1165
1166 - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise
1167
1168 - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0
1169
1170 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new
1171 resource file resources/calibration.rc
1172
1173 - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping
1174 the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the
1175 automatic processing
1176
1177 - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information
1178 developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than
1179 the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important
1180 for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old
1181 treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the
1182 arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken)
1183
1184 - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the
1185 decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower
1186 information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation
1187 further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal
1188 do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel
1189 beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the
1190 pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal.
1191 By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the
1192 corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can
1193 be supressed.
1194
1195 - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated)
1196 got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed.
1197 (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel
1198 content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning
1199 algorithm)
1200
1201 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal
1202 extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly)
1203 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm).
1204 (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been
1205 introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two
1206 types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects
1207 the first seconds of data of each sequence.
1208
1209 - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation
1210 of the parameters could be made independant of the noise
1211 (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search
1212 extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully
1213 understood.
1214
1215 - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case,
1216 because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they
1217 are sorted by their sequence number.
1218
1219 - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut
1220
1221 - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed.
1222
1223
1224
1225 *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18)
1226
1227 - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of
1228 inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate
1229 fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled #
1230 histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely.
1231
1232 - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms
1233 calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails
1234 it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast.
1235
1236 - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode.
1237 Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results.
1238
1239
1240
1241 *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05)
1242
1243 - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the
1244 MC binning
1245
1246 - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in
1247 April (MSrcPosCorrect)
1248
1249 - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly
1250
1251 - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm
1252
1253 - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes
1254
1255 - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly
1256
1257 - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and
1258 marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog
1259
1260 - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically
1261 ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly
1262 represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading
1263 of the subsystem data
1264
1265 - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also
1266 Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset.
1267
1268 - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo.
1269 It gave wrong results by 1./2pi
1270
1271 - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too
1272
1273 - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment
1274
1275 - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available
1276
1277 - mars: show muon parameters graphically
1278
1279 - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline
1280 argument
1281
1282 - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190
1283 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the
1284 counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file
1285 (MCameraHV).
1286
1287 - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated
1288 by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070)
1289
1290 - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context
1291 menu, eg in the TBrowser
1292
1293 - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to
1294 - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline)
1295 - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
1296 This is important mainly for timing studies.
1297
1298 - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from
1299 - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst)
1300 - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast)
1301 - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst)
1302 - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast)
1303 Introduced new limits:
1304 - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05
1305 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5
1306 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5
1307
1308 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter
1309 has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special
1310 for Monte Carlo calibrations.
1311
1312 - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference
1313 for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05)
1314
1315 - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain
1316 was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the
1317 fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable.
1318 This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain
1319 channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough
1320 to make the distribution reliable.
1321
1322 - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now,
1323 the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too
1324 high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices
1325 saturated and produced wrong limits.
1326
1327 - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc:
1328 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes
1329 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes
1330 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes
1331 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes
1332
1333 - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration,
1334 the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096
1335 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more
1336 than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the
1337 mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some
1338 calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more
1339 than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where
1340 a good precision is needed.
1341
1342 - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of
1343 photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly).
1344
1345 - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor
1346 method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but
1347 more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain
1348 changes.
1349
1350 - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data
1351 as calculated by MPedestalY2
1352
1353 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and
1354 unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is
1355 calculated from interleaved events
1356
1357 - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to
1358 be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the
1359 best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value
1360 was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another
1361 task
1362
1363 - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate
1364
1365 - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean
1366 DC currents
1367
1368 - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean
1369 Pedestal Rms
1370
1371 - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider
1372
1373 - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant
1374 for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth
1375 plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf
1376 became pedestal rms dependant
1377
1378 - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in
1379 http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/
1380
1381 - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in
1382 May/April 05
1383
1384 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable:
1385 ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc
1386
1387 - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released
1388
1389 - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize
1390
1391 - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number
1392 of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of
1393 total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram
1394
1395 - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp
1396
1397 - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function:
1398 The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor
1399 sqrt(2) to large
1400
1401 - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp
1402 and a background model determined in the first loop is
1403 subtracted
1404
1405 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct
1406 solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using
1407 the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped.
1408
1409 - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is
1410 already determined by the third moment along the major axis and
1411 so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower.
1412
1413 - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account
1414 when calculating the source position. This is especially important
1415 for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data.
1416
1417 - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as
1418 good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch
1419 it off add
1420 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1
1421 to your ganymed.rc
1422
1423 - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of
1424 choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest
1425 and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use...
1426
1427 - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold
1428
1429
1430
1431 *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03)
1432
1433 - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should
1434 have no influence on compatibility with older camera files
1435
1436 - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows
1437 to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree)
1438 before any other tree.
1439
1440 - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the
1441 run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such
1442 that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated
1443 correctly.
1444
1445 - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window
1446
1447 - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which
1448 allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or
1449 (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of
1450 the run stored in the runheader.
1451
1452 - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in
1453 MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was
1454 already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
1455
1456 - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
1457 now changes the filename for new weights automatically for
1458 cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors.
1459
1460 - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the
1461 name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored.
1462 Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead
1463 of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc.
1464
1465 - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is
1466 explicitly set also for pretty new runs
1467
1468 - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows
1469 to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1)
1470 to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from
1471 the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor
1472 is fixed to 1
1473
1474 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit
1475 more accurate now
1476
1477 - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different
1478 pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into
1479 account - not only kUnsuitableRun
1480
1481 - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default
1482
1483 - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2.
1484 This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg
1485 arrival times) are calculated more accuratly.
1486
1487 - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
1488 MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0
1489
1490 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants
1491 hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root
1492
1493 - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents
1494 from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt
1495
1496 - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit
1497 has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very
1498 ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image
1499 cleaning around them (Markus G.)
1500
1501 - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has
1502 suggested that different extractors give slightly different
1503 absolute results after calibration, due to there different
1504 handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although
1505 the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or
1506 the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated).
1507 There for correction factors have been introduced which correct
1508 the calibration constants by
1509 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
1510 and
1511 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc)
1512 calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can
1513 be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample.
1514 The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a
1515 Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
1516
1517 - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms
1518 vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results
1519 on the screen. The output and all following programs not
1520 directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected
1521
1522 - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event
1523 is read and Processed before the first data event was read.
1524
1525 - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard
1526 false source plot with a different one. For example: If
1527 you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource:
1528 NameHistFS: MHDisp
1529 For details about the requirements of these plots look
1530 at the corresponding classes
1531
1532 - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize
1533 has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead
1534 of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this
1535 case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization
1536 MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call
1537 RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize
1538 has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy
1539
1540 - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a
1541 different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For
1542 more details see the class description and sponde.rc
1543
1544 - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by
1545 their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using
1546 the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum
1547 and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut
1548 normalization is normally wrong.

1551
1552 *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20)
1553
1554 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
1555 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
1556
1557 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
1558 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
1559
1560 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
1561 because ProcessFile is missleading
1562
1563 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
1564
1565 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
1566 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
1567 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
1568
1569 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
1570 versions newer than V200404070
1571
1572 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
1573 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
1574 (MCameraCentralPixel)
1575
1576 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
1577 (MHVsSize)
1578
1579 - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics
1580
1581 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
1582 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
1583 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
1584 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
1585 can be canged
1586
1587 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
1588 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
1589 using showlog.
1590
1591 - showplot: improved
1592 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
1593 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
1594 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
1595 the printing command from the command line you can use all
1596 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
1597 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
1598 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
1599 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
1600
1601 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
1602 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
1603 intensity has been updated in some cases)
1604
1605 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
1606 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
1607 been taken with Pin Diode.
1608
1609 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
1610 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
1611
1612 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
1613 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
1614
1615 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
1616 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
1617 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
1618 of the cosmisc
1619
1620 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
1621 from 2.5 to 4.5
1622
1623 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
1624 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump
1625 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
1626 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
1627
1628 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
1629 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
1630 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
1631 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
1632 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
1633 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
1634 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
1635 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
1636 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
1637 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
1638 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
1639 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
1640 they are a lot slower)
1641 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
1642 random memory access it might by completely random!
1643
1644 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
1645 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
1646 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
1647
1648 - callisto:
1649 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
1650 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
1651 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
1652 Default: -9.0 +4.5
1653 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
1654
1655 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
1656 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
1657
1658 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
1659 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
1660 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
1661 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
1662 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
1663 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
1664 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
1665 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
1666
1667 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
1668 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
1669
1670 - callisto: for the common extractors
1671 + MExtractFixedWindow
1672 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
1673 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
1674 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
1675 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
1676 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
1677
1678 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
1679 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
1680 hilocalib_df6.root
1681
1682 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
1683 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
1684 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
1685
1686 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
1687 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
1688 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
1689 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
1690 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
1691 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
1692 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
1693
1694 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
1695 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
1696 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
1697 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
1698 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
1699 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
1700
1701 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
1702
1703 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
1704 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
1705
1706 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
1707 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
1708 changed only minimally
1709
1710 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
1711 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
1712 MJSpectrum (sponde)
1713
1714 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
1715 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
1716 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
1717 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
1718
1719 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
1720 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
1721
1722
1723
1724 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
1725
1726 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
1727 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
1728 by 0.2 slices)
1729
1730 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
1731 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
1732
1733 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
1734 also done with a intercalibration input file
1735
1736 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
1737
1738 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
1739
1740 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
1741
1742 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
1743
1744 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
1745
1746 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
1747
1748 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
1749
1750 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
1751 which is more than 5 times the variance
1752
1753 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
1754
1755 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
1756 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
1757
1758 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
1759 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
1760
1761 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
1762 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
1763
1764 - update the reference lines for the december data
1765
1766 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
1767 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
1768 pulse position changes much.
1769
1770 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
1771 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
1772 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
1773
1774 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
1775 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
1776 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
1777 runs a lot.
1778
1779 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
1780 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
1781
1782 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
1783 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
1784 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
1785 than with old versions (wrong units))
1786
1787 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
1788 formats are still unsupported by root)
1789
1790 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
1791 for automatic processing
1792
1793
1794
1795 *** Version 0.9 (2005/03/23)
1796
1797 - Calibration is now done autmatically into photo-electrons like
1798 decided by the Collaboration Board
1799

1812 mreport/MReportStarguider.h for implementing starguider-data
1813
1814 - the output of merpp-update now contains starguider information:
1815 MReportStarguider and MTimeStarguider
1816
1817 - Fixed bug in MHHadronness.cc which made that the displayed Q-factor
1818 values were lower than they should. This was more visible for high
1819 energy (Size) events.
1820
1821 - Made MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter the default for callisto
1822
1823 - added a new loop to callisto to support the correct extraction of
1824 the pedestal and pedestal rms through the signal extractor
1825
1826 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure
1827 (MHexagonalFT)
1828
1829 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure
1830 in a tasklist (MHexagonalFTCalc) example: hft.C
1831
1832 - added class to enhance the MCerPhotEvt from the Magic camera geometry
1833 MGeomCamMagic to a enhanced geometry MGeomCamMagicXT having only
1834 small pixels, example: extendcam.C
1835
1836 - added possibility to write data to memory (TTree) using MWriteRootFile
1837
1838 - added possibility to read a TTree stored only in memory by MReadTree
1839
1840 - new classes to deal with the interleaved calibration events:
1841 MTriggerPattern, MTriggerPatternDecode and MFTriggerPattern
1842
1843 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
1844
1845 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
1846 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
1847 the slices by statistics
1848 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
1849 signal extractor without randomization
1850 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
1851 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
1852 randomly fixed)
1853 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
1854 long as nobody really needs it:
1855 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
1856 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
1857
1858 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
1859
1860 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
1861 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
1862 roughly 0.5%
1863
1864 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
1865 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
1866 batch mode possible:
1867 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
1868
1869 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
1870 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)
1871
1872 - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
1873 camera files.
1874
1875 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
1876
1877 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
1878 accurate now
1879
1880 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
1881 MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix
1882 * the new implementation is faster and
1883 * needs less storage space
1884
1885 - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the
1886 whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)
1887
1888 - implemented new image parameters for the border length of
1889 the shower image (MNewImagePar2)

1910
1911 - added new program to display an MStatusArray of plots (stored with
1912 MStatusDisplay) from a file: showplot
1913
1914 - Added support for Sequences (MSequence). Sequences are blocks of run
1915 files containing the same calibration and belonging to the same
1916 source
1917
1918 - Added a new task (MTaskEnv) which can be used in setup files to switch
1919 between different tasks (for example to choose a signal extractor)
1920
1921 - Implemented automatic file splitting in MWriteRootFile
1922
1923 - After image cleaning an island index is assigned to all used pixels.
1924 The index corresponds to the order of the islands in size.
1925
1926 - added a cleaning which takes signal height _and_ arrival time into
1927 account: probability cleaning (for more details see MImgCleanStd)
1928
1929 - added a cleaning which takes takes the absolute number of photons
1930 times the area ratio as cleaning level
1931 (for more details see MImgCleanStd)
1932
1933 - Changed calculation of image parameters such, that it can be done
1934 for all used pixels or the pixels with a defined island index only
1935
1936 - implemented new image parameters displaying the number of islands,
1937 saturated hi-gain and lo-gain pixels (MImagePar, MHImagePar)
1938
1939 - event display in executable changed to support also calibrated files
1940 (done with MJCalibrateSignal)
1941
1942 - added program doing the calibration and the signal extraction
1943 and signal calibration: callisto Most part of the setup is done
1944 by a resource file: callisto.rc
1945
1946 - implemented support for pixels with negative IDs (Raw file format
1947 version 4)
1948
1949 - implemented an new option in merpp (--auto-time) to get the time
1950 range for cc and/or caco data from the run header of the raw data
1951
1952 - New star-program (star and MJStar). Taking calibrated data from
1953 callisto/MJCalibrateSignal as input. The setup is done through
1954 a resource file: star.rc
1955
1956 - Added possibility to setup the eventloop in the mars-executable
1957 Camera Display by a resource file: mars.rc
1958
1959 - The the mars-executable Camera Display can now also read
1960 calibrated data files written by callisto/MJCalibrateSignal
1961
1962 - Added a new class which can calculate the source position in
1963 the camera from a pointing model known to be correct and
1964 the pointing model used for observations (MSrcPosFromModel)
1965
1966 - added a new version of the class calculating the effective on-time
1967 MHEffectiveOnTime. It unifies the old classes MHEffOnTime,
1968 MHEffOnTimeTime, MHEffOnTimeTheta, MHTimeDiff, MHTimeDiffTime and
1969 MHTimeDiffTheta.
1970
1971 - added the possibility to count how often a signal is above (or
1972 below) a certain threshold in MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot (this
1973 can replace MHTriggerLvl0)
1974
1975 - added ore convinient ways to set the axis-titles of your histograms
1976 in your macro to some MH-classes like: MH3, MHVsTime, MHSectorVsTime,
1977 MHPixVsTime, MHVsTime, MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot

1996 square root of the pixelsize (MImgCleanStd, MCameraData)
1997
1998 - removed obsolete MBlind* classes

2052 gaussian the DC spot for an star. It gives you the RMS of
2053 the PSF and the center of the star, very useful for misspointing
2054 studies.
2055
2056 - added support for multi-telescope camera files. Added classes
2057 MStereoCalc and MStereoPar, classes to calculate and store shower

2066 an output containing Hillas parameters for each event. The macro
2067 mccalibrate.C does just the calibration and writes out a file containing
2068 pixel information in photons instead of FADC data. The macro starmc2.C

2434 - Added:
2435 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
2436 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
2437 they are needed in the flux calculation in
2438 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
2439 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
2440 of Theta and the true energy
2441
2442 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
2443 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
2444 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
