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 - ganymed: The contents of the source position plot are no longer
207 averaged, thus a lot of (fake) events between the two wobble
208 positions have disappeared.
209
210 - optim, sponde: should now properly support three off-regions.
211 Just produce your ganymed summary files with three off-regions.
212 optim and sponde will automatically get all off events from
213 all off-regions from this file. Please do not forget to
214 set the scaling in optimwobble.C properly:
215 fit.SetScaleUser(1./3);
216 it is not yet read in automatically (will follow soon).
217 In the case of fixed Scale you can also use
218 cuts.SetThetaCut(MFMagicCuts::kOn);
219 no off-cut needed.
220 Be carefull in case of three off-regions when switching on
221 scale mode. Make sure that the scale interval is set correctly.
222
223 - sponde: In the estimated energy versus monte carlo energy plot the
224 contents where exchanged.... fixed.
225
226 - sponde: the so called "accurate"-mode has been removed. It didn't
227 give any improvement in accuracy, only decreased execution speed.
228
229 - sponde: the so called "simple"-mode has been removed. It didn't
230 give any improvement in simple.
231
232 - sponde: the so called "refill"-mode has been removed. It was anyhow
233 not implemented.
234
235 - sponde: now checks whether the theta distribution of your on-data
236 and the theta-distribution of your Monte Carlo sample (after
237 weighting) fits. If it doesn't fit properly (eg. the Monte Carlo
238 sample is incomplete) execution is stopped. Execution can be forced
239 using the new option --force-theta. Use this option with care!
240
241 - sponde: Proper collection areas can now be constructed also from
242 Monte Carlo samples generated with different maximum impact
243 parameters. Note that in previous version you neither got
244 a warning or failure, nor was there any obvious sign that the
245 collection area was overestimated due to usage of files with
246 different maximum impact parameters.
247
248 - sponde: If MC files with different lower energy limits are used
249 the primary MC spectrum is artificially completed down to the
250 lowest energy used at all. WARNING: that this gives correct
251 collection areas ONLY if none of the events in this region would
252 survive your cuts at all.
253
254 - sponde: the output file now contains more information about
255 the spectrum (eg. the full 2D collection area histogram).
256 Note, that this information can only be written to the file
257 if it is stored automatically via command line argument.
258 If you only store the status display from within the display
259 the information is lost.
260
261 - sponde: added a new tab "EventDist" showing the unweighted real
262 absolute number of events of your sample after cuts. This tells
263 you how many events with this energy you had in your MC files.
264 The same information you get from the error bars of the weighted
265 histograms, but this is less intuitive.
266
267 - sponde: The spectrum plots now show the crab- and 1553-spectrum
268 for comparison. It is not meant to show these curves in
269 publications, they are only for production.
270
271 - sponde: The OriginalMC tree with the events produced by corsika
272 is now processed only once
273
274
275
276 *** Version 1.2 (2007/05/14)
277
278 - database: The database now has two new values Unsuitable50 and
279 Unsuitable01. They express the number of pixels which are
280 unsuitable for more than 50%, respectively more than 1%, of
281 all calibrated event. It is a more accurate number than the
282 previously used numbers, because they only take the first
283 calibration (ignoring the interleaved calibrations) into account.
284
285 - database: The database now has two other new values UnsuitableMax and
286 DeadMax. They express the maximum number of pixels which were
287 unsuitable, respectively dead, during the sequence. Because
288 of high pedestal rms (cars passing) a few events with very high
289 numbers of unsuitable pixels can happen. Not to suffer from this
290 effect we don't take the highest 0.1% of the numbers into account.
291
292 - general: fixed a bug which caused callisto and star to stop working
293 properly because the callisto output was currupted
294
295 - general: a script called scripts/makemovie has been added which
296 simplified the process of producing several movies from a single
297 sequence with different setup.
298
299 - callisto: Some more code cleanup. Started to remove old obsolete
300 code from cvs.
301
302 - callisto: The extraction of the pedestal with the extractor was
303 not random. It seems that extracting at one position is still biased
304 (for example in the first or last slices we could still suffer from
305 switching noise) Now it is completely random.
306
307 - callisto: In MPedCalcPedRun (which is the pedestal extraction from
308 pedestal files) individual pixels could be skipped due to high
309 variations. This was already the case for the pedestal extraction
310 from the lo-gains since the beginning and properly handled
311 there, but was introduced in the extraction from the pedestal files
312 a while ago. To calculate the average value it was still divided
313 by the number of events procesed not by the number of summands
314 really summed. This let to a pedestal which was a tiny amount too
315 small (for a few piels in the order of 0.1%). This led to an slightly
316 positive offset of the randomly extracted pedestal for a few pixels.
317 I doubt that this has a big effect on the result, because the effect
318 on the individual numbers is quite small. Due to this it is suggested
319 that you rerun your calibration to make sure you are without any
320 avoidable bias.
321
322 - callisto: the ArrTimeRmsLimit is now is a check of the deviation from
323 the median rms of the absolute arrival time and expressed in significance
324 levels. This replaces the old meaning of an abolute upper limit. An
325 absolute upper limit doesn't make much sense, because in our data
326 all arrival times are shifted at the same time (in fact it might be
327 a shift of the artificial trigger w.r.t. to the light flash).
328
329 - callisto: Added a new tab "BadPixTm" which shows the time evolution
330 of the number of unsuitable pixels over the whole sequence. This
331 is usefull mainly to judge if an intermediate calibration had
332 problems.
333
334 - callisto: Added a new tab "DeadPixTm" which shows the time evolution
335 of the number of dead pixels over the whole sequence. Dead pixels
336 in this context are unmapped pixels, i.e. pixels which could not
337 be interpolated, and thus are ignored in the further analysis.
338
339 - callisto: It is now possible to use the position of the maximum
340 of the spline as arrival time instead of the leading edge even
341 when using the integral for the signal. Therefor set the extraction
342 type to kIntegralRel ("IntegralRelative") and the relative height
343 ("HeightTm") to -1:
344 MJPedestalC1.ExtractSignal.ExtractionType: IntegralRelative
345 MJPedestalC1.ExtractSignal.HeightTm: -1
346
347
348
349
350 *** Version 1.1 (2007/04/27)
351
352 - general: The new class MGeomCamDwarf contains the camera geometry
353 for our prefered Dwarf camera and can be used to create general
354 geometries of roundish or hexagonal cameras.
355
356 - mars: The default cleaning is now abolute 8.5/4.0.
357
358 - mars: The resource file mars.rc now contains examples for MUX data
359
360 - merpp: Implemented file format version 8 (MUX FADC data). The 16-bit
361 data containing only 10-bit information is still cooked down to
362 8-bit, by cutting away the lowest 8-bit.
363
364 - merpp: When reading raw data the data is now stored in a single
365 array. The lo-gain array is obsolete. The interface stays the same.
366
367 - callisto: To process the new MUX data use the resource file
368 callisto_mux.rc
369
370 - callisto: The -root and -raw options to read merpped raw data have
371 been removed
372
373 - callisto: If the -mc option is given the sequence-name can now be
374 replaced by the MC sequence number
375
376 - callisto: If the sequence file contains "MonteCarlo: Yes" the
377 -mc option can now be omitted
378
379 - callisto: Started further simplification by removing obsolete
380 dependancies on MCalibIntensity*Cams.
381
382 - callisto: removed unsused intensity calibration from MJCalibration
383 for further simplification
384
385 - callisto: for simplification removed references to
386 MBadPixelsIntensityCam, MCalibrationIntensityQECam,
387 MCalibrationIntensityRelTimeCam, MCalibrationIntensityTestCam,
388 MCalibrationIntensityChargeCam, and MCalibrationIntensityBlindCam
389 (this should at minimum change nothing at all, and at maximum
390 improve thing if these containers where somewhere not handled
391 properly)
392
393 - callisto: Added the option to write an event movie. Please use
394 this option with care (huge files) but exessively to understand
395 our events. For further documentation please refer to the
396 IACT wiki
397 (currently at http://www.astro.uni.wuerzburg.de/mediawiki-1.9.0)
398
399 - callisto: Improved binning for the pulse position check histogram
400
401 - callisto: The code calculating the pulse position checknow takes
402 the pedestal into account
403
404 - callisto: The arrival time is now stored with full precision this
405 helps to get rid of artefacts in histograms. For the signal this
406 is not necessray because it is displayed in log-scale anyhow
407
408 - callisto: Fixed a problem with internal exclusions. Pixels which
409 have once been marked as unsuitable didn't get the necessary
410 histograms filled anymore to be rechecked with each interleaved
411 calibration.
412
413 - callisto: The relative arrival time resolution (the rms of the
414 relative arrival time offset) is now checked against its
415 median and the median deviation, instead of the average
416 plus an absolute offset.
417
418 - callisto: The relative arrival time offset is now calculated
419 w.r.t. its median not w.r.t. to an artificial reference pixel.
420
421 - callisto: The relative time calibration now marks pixels with
422 outlaying offset as unsuitable
423
424 - callisto: The interleaved relative time calibration has been switched
425 on. The advantage is that pixels which are marked as outliers
426 now can recover. An improvement over time is not expected, because
427 the relative time calibration seems stable.
428
429 - ganymed: If the dataset file containes "MonteCarlo: Yes" the "-mc"
430 option can now be omitted.
431
432 - ganymed: If either the dataset file containes "MonteCarlo: Yes"
433 or the option "-mc" is specified as default the monte carlo datacenter
434 paths (/magic/montecarlo/...) are used if not overwritten in the
435 dataset file.
436
437 - ganymed: The output files now contain run- and event-number for all
438 events, accessible as RunNumber.fVal and EvtNumber.fVal
439
440 - ganymed: Added a plot showing the source position in the camera also
441 for wobble mode
442
443 - ganymed: In addition to the existing task which can be setup to
444 be executed after Cut1 a final task called "EstimateEnergy"
445 has been added, executed before writing the final output
446 (ganymed00000000.root). The task setup in all three cases
447 can be choosen individually. (For all three(!) cases you
448 can for example choose MRanForestCalc. For examples see all
449 sponde*.rc and all ganymed*rc)
450
451 - ganymed: If a container "MEstimatedEnergy" is found in the
452 parameter list (eg. because it was setup by MEstimateEnergy)
453 it will be written to the output file.
454
455
456
457 *** Version 1.0 (2007/02/16)
458
459 - database: Website to plot values from the database has been added.
460
461 - database: The rate of spark events as found by star is now kept
462 and the rate after cleaning is now with spark events subtracted
463
464 - general: The changes to the interpretation of phrases lead to
465 a problem with the access of MHMatrix objects (eg. "M[0]")... fixed.
466
467 - general: Added example files how you can create your own calendar
468 (eg. as christmas present) with Mars. Just run
469 root macros/tutorials/calendar.C
470
471 - general: Added a possibility to display grouped data in the plotdb.C
472 macro (and similar macros). This allows to plot hourly, nightly,
473 weekly, monthly and yearly averages.
474 For more details see the plotall function of the macro
475
476 - general: fixed the error display of the camera display. It showed
477 wrong results.
478
479 - general: fixed a memory leak when reading many MStatusDisplays
480
481 - general: added a macro (macros/tutorials/mirrordelay.C) plotting the delay
482 between a spherical and a parabolic mirror
483
484 - callisto: We have a new pulse position check which takes the properties
485 of the extractor automatically into account. So no need to set
486 ExtractWinLeft/Right anymore. Again a check for pulses too much to the
487 left is done. If possible the lo-gain extraction start and hi-gain
488 extraction end is changed accordingly. If no proper extraction range
489 can be set (hi-gain too much to the left) an error is raised.
490
491 - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected
492
493 - callisto: Redone the signal extraction this includes:
494 + Unified the algorithms to extract the pedestal for all pedestal
495 extractions done
496 + Unification of hi- and lo-gain into one array
497 + Unification of hi- and lo-gain extraction for Spline and
498 Digital Filter (means now exactly the same algorithm is used,
499 not a copy-and-pasted one)
500 + Store pedestal subtracted data in a common place
501 + Improved extraction algorithms. If the algorithms search a
502 maximum but don't find one they don't return the maximum anymore
503 + Improved the extraction such that a information for signal
504 and time which is consistent is returned
505 + replaced the numerical spline with a (not slower) analytical
506 solution
507 + Lowered the saturation limit from 250 to 245 to make sure that
508 we are far away in all pixels from problems with the clock-noise
509 + The start of the lo-gain extraction is calculated from the hi-gain
510 arrival time. In case of saturation an estimation is used.
511 + the hi-gain window was extended to slice 16. This allows extraction
512 of very late pulses in single pixels or of huge hadron showers.
513 + Now uses the lo-gain extraction range for pedestal extraction,
514 not the hi-gain range in the lo-gain
515
516 - callisto: New hi-/lo-gain calibration constants have been produced
517 for all periods from the statistic of the whole period. They are
518 now used automatically depending on the periods. The old constants
519 where deviation in avarega about 2%-3%. The constants are very
520 stable from period to period (<<1%) except for exchanged channels.
521 In a few cases the constants used so far were off by 1%-2% (maybe
522 temperature effects?)
523
524 - callisto: To gain obsolete space we do not write the
525 MPedestalFundamental anymore. Also calibration and bad pixel
526 treatment is not done for it anymore because it has never been used.
527
528 - callisto: Fixed a bug in the seuqence handling which caused the
529 light condition to be ignored
530
531 - star: Added two new tabs "Sparkless" and "Sparks" these tabs show
532 basically the same as "Cleaned" but the distribution devided into
533 the events fullfilling a spark cut or being rejected by it.
534 This cut can be changed from star.rc (see example inside) by
535 the "SparkCut" directive
536
537 - star: Star displays now the average individual pixel-rate (IPR) versus
538 time and the average discriminator threshold (DT) of all pixels.
539
540 - optim: fixed a problem with the optim-macros which was due to a bug
541 in the new phrase parsing
542
543 - ganymed: To get a nice FalseSource plot (instead of the all-information
544 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
545 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
546 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
547 the other options)
548 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!
549
550 - ganymed/optim/train: The cut program, trainings- and optimization
551 macros could run with less files found than expected from the
552 sequence-files. No the execution is stopped in this case.
553
554 - ganymed: now stores the dataset in the output file with all information
555 contained (as sequence number, sequence path, data path) so that the
556 used dataset file can be recreated complete from the output
557
558 - sponde: now also allows the uasge of random forest
559
560 - sponde: added a plot showing the cut efficiency
561
562 - sponde: Using root versions < 5.13/04 still resulted in wrong binomial
563 errors (eg. effecting the collection area) because the errors of the
564 two histograms were swapped in the calculation, which makes a difference
565 in the case the histograms contains weighted events. Aditionally the
566 totalarea was incorrectly taken into account, which results in too small
567 errors, which makes a difference at low statistics were the errors
568 or the collection area dominate.
569
570
571
572 *** Version 0.10.3 (2006/10/23)
573
574 - database: Implemented ObservationMode flag in websites.
575
576 - database: For sequences there is now also the stoptime available on the
577 websites.
578
579 - database: Removed ManuallyChanged flag from sequence-info websites,
580 as it is not needed anymore with the new sequence building algorithm.
581
582 - general: MRolke.[cc,h]: Modification of TRolke from root_v5.12.00b.
583 Class for calculation of confidence intervals (upper limits).
584 Use model 3 or 4 for upper limit calculation for MAGIC observations.
585 Please read the class instruction of TRolke for more information.
586
587 - general: The programs now return 0xfe if the requested resource file
588 doesn't exist.
589
590 - general: Errors comming from root itself are now not output to
591 stderr anymore but to our default (colored) log-stream.
592
593 - general: Changed the interface to TFormula such that now everything
594 is parsed by TFormula, which should allow to use phrases even
595 without paranthesis correctly parsed.
596
597 - callisto: replaced the AdHoc number of effective integration slices
598 in the digital filter by an average of the correct number, averaged
599 over all possible set of weights. This also gives correct numbers
600 for the lo-gains which were totally wrong before.
601
602 - callisto: drastically reduced memory consumption by not storing
603 all intermediate calibration results in memory anymore (we might
604 write them into a file in the future)
605
606 - ganymed: To get a nice Theta-Sq plot (instead of the all-information
607 debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu
608 somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot"
609 and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains
610 the "DrawAll" option)
611 PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION!
612
613
614
615 *** Version 0.10.2 (2006/10/15)
616
617 - general: changed the building of the sequence files such, that
618 the source-/project name in case of wobble-sources is not the
619 source/project of the first data run anymore but the new generalized
620 wobble source/project
621
622 - general: Added some functions to MAstro to calculate sun and
623 moon properties
624
625 - general: Added two new macros (starvisday.C and starvisyear.C)
626 which allow to plot the visibility of several stars in one day
627 or of one star along one year
628
629
630
631 *** Version 0.10.1 (2006/10/11)
632
633 - general: HTML logging output was distorted... fixed.
634
635 - general: Changed the writing of the sequencefiles such that only
636 as many pedestal files as giving at least 1000 pedestal events which
637 are nearby the first calibration run are used as pedestal runs
638
639 - sponde: In the calculation of the collection area(s) and the
640 distribution for MOnte Carlo and estimated energy the error
641 calculation was wrong because root didn't take the errors
642 properly into account... fixed.
643
644
645
646 *** Version 0.10 (2006/10/10)
647
648 - general: all executables now check consistency of the root version
649 installed with the root version used for compilation. The return
650 code in this case is 255.
651
652 - general: The algorithm to build seqeunces has been redesigned
653 completly. It is now more flexible in terms of a resource file
654 resources/sequences.rc which can be used to partly overwrite
655 the default algorithm and defined the important part of the
656 algorithm. It also takes correctly into account several ways
657 of taking wobble-data. Currently the new algorithm doesn't take
658 the number of pedestal events anymore into account (so a sequence
659 could have much less than 1000 pedestal events and data runs are
660 no-more used instead)
661
662 - general: a lot of small changes to make the code compatible with
663 root 5.12/00 and gcc 4.1
664
665 - general: Fixed some warnings thrown if more warnings are switched
666 on in the compiler
667
668 - general: Added a function to MMath which returns the Median of
669 the distribution abs(y[i]-median) but at 68:32 division instead
670 of 50:50, which is somehow the median counterpart of the rms.
671
672 - general: MAstroCatalog allows now to read calatog files (as bsc5)
673 even if they are compressed with gzip (recommended compression
674 is with "-1")
675
676 - showplot:
677 + batch mode creation of image files now works with root 5.12/00
678 + added support for writing bmp (though it never produces
679 bmp which can be read by programs like xv or gimp)
680 + added support for xml
681 + added new option to start the display with a different size, by
682 --display-width=nnn or --display-height=nnn
683 + added options to define the canvas size when the display is started
684 --canvas-width=nnn or --canvas-height=nnn
685 the option can also be used for batch-mode conversion
686 + added an option which automatically fits the display size to the
687 desktop-size: --auto-size
688
689 - merpp: didn't recognize files with the extension .raw.gz - fixed.
690
691 - merpp: allow the reports to have 1000ms due to a bug in the camera
692 program.
693
694 - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected. For
695 details see MRawRunHeader::FixAssignment()
696
697 - callisto: Callisto now raises an error if one of the input files could
698 not be opened.
699
700 - callisto: In some rare cases it could happen that in the signal
701 extraction of the digital filter the extractor returned nonsense
702 results due a wrong initializion of a variable (this happens in
703 cases in which the extracted signal is exactly zero or the
704 digital filter couldn't slide because of a too small extraction
705 window, which could happen in the lo-gain extraction)
706
707 - callisto: The lo-gains have been marked as valid in some cases
708 when they got not extracted at all (deltsumlo=deltatimelo=0) because
709 the allowed extraction range (fLoGainLast-fLoGainFirst) was
710 smaller than the number of slices (fLoGainWindowSize) needed
711 by the lo-gain extractor
712
713 - callisto: Updated absolute calibration constants (muon calibration)
714
715 - callisto: fixed a bug which caused the hi-gain saturation not
716 to be handled properly in the spline (the position of the
717 saturation was calculated incorrectly)
718
719 - callisto: fixed a bug which gave weird results if hi- _and_
720 lo-gain could not be extracted properly. In some cases hi-
721 and lo-gain have not been extracted at all and the random result
722 got calibrated. In other cases the hi-gain was saturating and the
723 lo-gain has not been extracted. For this a completly arbitraty
724 scale factor was applied to the result from extracting the
725 charge of the saturating hi-gain.
726
727 - callisto: improves handling of extracted signal if lo- and/or
728 hi-gain could not be extracted properly. If no appropriate
729 calibration of either the signal or the arrival time is possible
730 the pixel is now markes as unsuitable instead of estimated.
731
732 - callisto: Fixed a problem in the spline extraction which gave
733 weird results if the signal was extracted from the first (and
734 highest) slice (as a workaround extraction from the first
735 slice has been forbidden)
736
737 - callisto: Fixed a bug regarding the use of the QE which doesn't
738 effect the result because the default is used anyhow.
739 (The bug was there since 14/07/2005)
740
741 - callisto: Changed the default for fgLoGainStartShift to -2.4
742
743 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused all hi-/lo-gain calibration
744 factors to be always 10 for all pixels as soon as the first
745 calibration update has happend.
746
747 - callisto: Fixed the hi-/lo-gain offset for the Digital Filter. It
748 was off by more than one slice (which gives wrong values for
749 pixels which have saturated the hi-gain) This was a problem
750 mainly for timing studies, not so much for the automatic standard
751 analysis. Also the values for the Spline have been changed slightly:
752 + Digital Filter from 1.70 to 0.95
753 + Spline from 1.39 to 1.30
754 The numbers were sorted out by an extensive test in the
755 test-database.
756
757 - callisto: Removed the tab showing the average calibrated arrival
758 time. It never gave useful information.
759
760 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoCal" which shows the ratio between hi- and
761 lo-gain pulse for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain have saturated
762 and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above the
763 LoGainSwitch.
764
765 - callisto: Now tab "HiLoOff" which shows the offset between hi- and
766 lo-gain pulse position (after application of LoGainOffset, which
767 means in the ideal case it is 0) for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain
768 have saturated and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above
769 the LoGainSwitch.
770
771 - callisto: After extensive tests a new threshold level for determination
772 of the pulse position has been found at 50phe. This is due to the
773 fact that for lower pulses the arrival time changes its average
774 behaviour dramatically. It tends to the average of the extraction
775 range and starts sticking to non-floating point numbers (5, 6, 7, ...)
776
777 - callisto: Added two more plots to the calibration part. The average
778 extracted signal and the average extracted arrival time as
779 extracted by the signal extractor (This can help debugging problems
780 because it doesn't involve a fit)
781
782 - star: changed the fit for the effective on time such that initial
783 values are calculated automatically now instead of using build
784 in values. This makes the fit more indepedant of the underlaying
785 rates. With a test of ~350 sequences in the test database it could
786 be shown that the new fit gives the same result +/-1sek.
787 The highest deviation was +5s the lowest -10s. You can now control
788 the bahaviour with two resource values:
789 MHEffectiveOnTime.FistBin: 3
790 MHEffectiveOnTime.NumEvents: 12000
791 Use FirstBin=1 and NumEvents=120 to fit the effective on time
792 from the resulting gamma candidates
793
794 - star: The Center histogram in MHHillas is now by default displayed
795 with the colz draw-option
796
797 - ganymed: now produces valid error codes if failed
798
799 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts now supports a hadronness cut. Switch it on
800 with the option "hadronness" instead of "area" or "both" if
801 you want to use both cuts. The hadronness cut includes a fixed
802 cut in hadronness (index 8) and a fixed cut in size (index 9).
803
804 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts: fixed abug introduced 2005/7/14 which caused
805 the M3Long of the anti source to be not properly evaluated
806 (actually is was evaluated as a unique random number) in case
807 of optimization with anti-theta cut switched on. This might have
808 lead to improper, but not necessarily wrong, optimization results.
809
810 - ganymed: ganymed_onoff.rc, ganymed_wobble.rc - updated with comments
811 how to use random forest
812
813 - ganymed: use the same spark cuts as in ganymed_wobble.rc as in
814 ganymed_onoff.rc. Seems to be unintentional that they were different.
815
816 - sponde: Since the introduction of the possibility to define a
817 normalization energy instead of using the integral the default
818 was not using the integral anymore but a normalization energy of
819 1GeV. It is now the integral again.
820
821 - sponde: Fixed a problem in the weighting which did not allow
822 a MC slope of -1.
823
824
825
826 *** Version 0.9.6 (2006/05/24)
827
828 - general: changed the binning of the azimuthal profile of the camera
829 such that it is aligned with the 60deg boundaries.
830
831 - merpp: better handling of problems with the TH, TD part of the
832 CC-REPORT for files older than 200507190 and 200412210
833 respectively
834
835 - merpp: improved handling of RECEIVERS-COM-ERROR in CC-REPORT
836
837 - merpp: implementd latest changes in starguider reports (sinc 9th May)
838
839 - callisto: if an arrival time is extracted outside the fadc range is
840 was set to the boundary before. Now a random number is assigned
841 instead to avoid unfortunate coincidences of arrival times just
842 by this arbitrary value.
843
844 - callisto: added a new option to callisto.rc which allows
845 to set the maximum arrival time difference allowed for the
846 badpixel algorithm to determin whether a pixels belongs to a shower:
847 MJCalibrateSignal.MBadPixelsTreat.MaxArrivalTimeDiff: 0.9
848
849 - callisto: changed the old value (0.5) for MaxArrivalTimeDiff
850 to 0.9 as suggested by Stefan due to a recent study on the fraction
851 of pixels surviving the image cleaning
852
853 - callisto: switched off error in case of "pulse is too much to the left"
854
855 - callisto: The extraction window is not adapted anymore. This means that
856 the pulse is extracted from the full range. The draw-back is that the
857 background (pedestal) will become slightly higher. Switching on/off
858 the PulsePosCheck in the callisto.rc only effects filling the
859 histograms.
860 WARNING: If the pulse is too much to the left data is calibrated!
861 Check the PulsePosCheck-PulsePosition AND the Inhomogeneity parameter
862 in the database to make sure that your data is valid!
863
864 - star: Show also the number of stars correlated correctly by the
865 starguider
866
867 - ganymed: implemented a new class (MHThetaSqN) which allows to use more
868 than one off-source region in wobble-mode. To use it add the following to
869 your ganymed_wobble.rc:
870 + MJCut.NameHist: MHThetaSqN (switch the new feature on)
871 + MHThetaSqN.NumOffSourcePos: 3 (define number of off-regions)
872 + MHThetaSqN.DoOffCut: Yes,No (switch on/off the off-cut)
873 + Cut1.ThetaCut: None
874 + MHThetaSqN.SignificanceCutLevel: 2.0 (increase off-cut by 2.0/1.7)
875
876 - ganymed: in the case the latest report is older than a default (currently
877 one minute) and the current report will be skip the starguider
878 correction and calibration will be reset. The maximum age can be
879 setup from ganymed.rc by (minutes):
880 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAge: 1.5
881
882 - ganymed: A first implementation showing all size-bins for the theta-sq
883 resp. alpha-plots in a single tab automatically
884
885
886
887 *** Version 0.9.5.1 (2006/05/05)
888
889 - general: Added a new option "zdiff" to the Makefile which runs
890 "cvs diff" as "make diff" would do, but with compression
891
892 - general: accelerated MTFillMatrix (used for eample in all training
893 and optimization macros) by skipping some obsolete calles in the
894 eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
895
896 - general: Added a missing feature in the MFilterList class which
897 prevented MFEnergySlope from working correctly in trainenergy.C
898
899 - general: Accelerated the random forest training and usage a bit
900
901 - merpp: Adapted to new raw data file format version 6
902
903 - merpp: fixed a problem with reading the starguider reports
904 after 6.3.2006
905
906 - callisto: At some times six pixels had to be exchanged manually in the
907 data. If the pixels to be swaped are both not found, an error was raised
908 and calibration was stopped. Now it is assumed they are intentially not
909 mapped and the Error has been changed to a Warning.
910
911 - star: Added new image cleaning based on the arrival time of the shower.
912 The new cleaning can be accessed using the parameter "Time" instead of
913 the the old one (like "Absolute) in the star.rc-file.
914 Recommended parameters:
915 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel1: 8.2
916 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel2: 5
917 + MImgCleanStd.CleanRings: 2
918 + MImgCleanStd.KeepSinglePixels: No
919
920 - star: Simplified the calculation of the effective on time. By letting
921 the fit start in the third bin the result should become more stable.
922 The fit quality is now ignored for the theta-plot which is not used
923 in the analysis later. Still better pre-cut which, for example,
924 remove events triggered by car-light (rate changing on a short
925 time-scale) are missing.
926
927 - macros: optimonoff.C, optimwobble.C: implemented a new strategy
928 for optimization (kWeakSource) which is suggested by the Berlin
929 people for weak sources.
930
931 - macros: plotdb.C:
932 + if no dataset and no time-interval is given only sequences with
933 an effective on-time above five minutes are plotted anymore
934 + added a new tab "RelTime" displaying the relative on-time
935 (effective on-time divided by the observation time)
936
937 - macros: optim*.C: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop
938 the optimization became a lot faster
939
940 - ganymed: In the second loop the MHNewImagePar histograms disapeared.
941 To display them just delete the pads displayed on top.
942
943 - ganymed: fixed a bug which could cause strange behaviour in wobble
944 mode if no starguider information was available due to an incorrect
945 initialization of the starguider calibration
946
947 - ganymed: The scale region in the False Source Plot (MHDisp) can now
948 be changed from within the plot. It can also be setup from the
949 resource file using:
950 + MHDisp.fScaleMin: 0.325
951 + MHDisp.fScaleMax: 0.475
952
953 - ganymed, showplot: Fixed a problem with the fit to the off-data
954 (HistOff) which could cause a time lag or an inifinite loop.
955 The bug did not effect the results at all.
956
957 - sponde: Added a new tab showing the effective collection area after
958 trigger (including the software trigger)
959
960 - sponde: MMcSpectrumWeight has a new option which allows to define
961 the scaling factor not by the integral of the events but at
962 a defined energy:
963 e.g. MMcSpectrumWeight.NormEnergy: 200
964
965 - MTFillMatrix, sponde: by skipping some obsolete calles in the
966 eventloops the loop could be accelerated by ~20%
967
968
969
970 *** Version 0.9.5 (2006/03/13)
971
972 - macros: fixed a typo optimwoble.C (SetThetaCut instead SetAlphaCut)
973 and added the standard Disp-parametrization
974
975 - macros: added a new macro datacenter/macros/plotstat.C allowing
976 to plot statistics about the data processing
977
978 - macros: added a new macro to plot the muon correction coefficients
979 versus period (macros/plot/mucal.C)
980
981 - showplot: path inflation for ganymed files was broken
982
983 - callisto: Fixed an important bug. When the number of saturating pixels
984 were calculated the bad pixel information already available from the
985 calibration was ignored. This yields wrong values in case pixels
986 are broken and saturate all the time or randomly.
987
988 - callisto: Updated Muon calibration constants. Spline data now also uses
989 different values for different periods
990
991 - star: The time-evolution shown in the effective on-time plot now displays
992 the axis range (if there are no holes it should be similar to the
993 effective on-time)
994
995 - star: Added two new image parameters:
996 + MNewImagePar.fConcCOG: The ratio of the equivalent signals of
997 the three pixels next to the center of gravity and the size
998 + MNewImagePar.fConcCore: The ratio of the signals of all
999 pixels inside or touching the ellipse and the size
1000
1001 - ganymed: now stops in requested source isn't found in catalog file
1002
1003 - ganymed: Many improvements to the phi-plot in wobble mode:
1004 + with a template the ideal background is displayed
1005 + a possible camera inhomogeneity is taken into account
1006 + the anti theta cut is better supported
1007 + the phi cut is automatically calculated from the theta cut
1008 See the examples in ganymed_wobble.rc for more details.
1009
1010 - ganymed: fixed plot for E^2*dN/dE. The spectrum was multiplied with two
1011 times the bin-width instead of the absolute energy
1012
1013 - ganymed: New cuts for on/off and wobble mode
1014
1015 - ganymed: The smearing of the False Source plot has been increased
1016 to 0.06
1017
1018 - ganymed: The starguider calibration can now be changed from the
1019 resource file.
1020 See the examples in ganymed*.rc for more details.
1021
1022 - ganymed: added a new option for on-/off-observations
1023 MJCut.RandomSourcePosition
1024 If switched on the distribution of observation time of the source
1025 position in the camera is calculated from the on-data and randomly
1026 applied with this distrbution to the off-data.
1027
1028 - ganymed: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the
1029 first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20%
1030
1031 - ganymed: The default in ganymed_onoff.rc is now to determin the source
1032 position in the off-data randomly according to its distribution in the

1037 *** Version 0.9.4.3 (2006/02/13)
1038
1039 - general: Fixed a bug in most of the programs which prevented the
1040 compile date in the startup message to be displayed
1041
1042 - general: Simplified program calls. The following abbreviations
1043 are now possible:
1044 showlog callisto 55599
1045 showplot signal 55599
1046 star 55599
1047 callisto 55999
1048 ganymed 2
1049 In this cases the corrsponding root-, log-, sequence- or dataset-
1050 filename is automatically compiled using the default datacenter
1051 paths ("/magic/*")
1052
1053 - general: Fixed a long outstanding bug which made axis tick marks
1054 disappear if MDataFormula was used (eg. abs(x))
1055
1056 - general: Updated MMath with new functions to calculate the results of
1057 a exponential, logarithmic and powerlaw fits analytically.
1058
1059 - general: Updated some macros with comments:
1060 + macros/optim/optimdisp.C
1061 + macros/optim/optimenergy.C
1062 + macros/optim/optimwobble.C:
1063
1064 - general: MTFillMatrix (the class to fill one or two MHMatrix from
1065 files) now allows adding a pre-cut like in the optimization. E.g. this
1066 is useful to perform g/h-separation cuts before training the random
1067 forest.
1068
1069 - general: Between the rund 53300 and 68754 the pixels 553-558 were not
1070 correctly assigned in the raw data assignement table. A fix to correct
1071 the assignment tabel have been implemented.
1072
1073 - general: MAstroCatalog now allows rotating of the sky-grid and stars
1074 by 90, 180 and 270 deg.
1075
1076 - general: the macro plotdb.C now allows to highlight sequences belonging
1077 to a datset. For more details see the descritions in the macro.
1078
1079 - StatusDisplay: Fixed the algorithm to calculate the size ratio
1080 of the display, it gave wrong results espacially for big sizes.
1081 Now the embedded canvas should always have a ratio width/height=3/2.
1082 The "Size" options have been updated with values fitting the 3/2
1083 size ratio.
1084
1085 - RanForest:
1086 + Updated the random forest classes to support also the
1087 regression method implemented by Thomas H.
1088 + added new tutorial macro how to train the random forest
1089 for energy estimation (macros/optim/rfenergyest.C)
1090 + new classes to train the random forest (still in development)
1091 mjtrain/MJTrainEnergy, mjtrain/MJTrainDisp, mjtrain/MJTrainSeparation
1092 + new tutorial macros for random forest training in macros/train
1093 trainenergy.C, traindisp.C, trainseparation.C
1094
1095 - mars: now allows to setup a cut in the resource file mars.rc to choose
1096 the events to be displayed, eg:
1097 Cut.Condition: {0} && {1}
1098 Cut.0: MHillas.fSize>100
1099 Cut.1: MHillas.fSize<900
1100
1101 - merpp: Made aware of the new .rep format 200510250. This includes
1102 interpretation of the Receiver Board Temperatures (MCameraRecTemp),
1103 the discriminator thresholds (MCameraTD) and the disciminator
1104 delays (MCameraTD). All of them come with the CC report and are therefor
1105 written to the CC tree.
1106
1107 - callisto: fixed a bug in the calculation of the arrival times in
1108 the Digital Filter. They were all shifted by the same amount
1109 fHiGainFirst. This caused an offset in the order of the position of
1110 the left border of the extraction window in the times calculated
1111 from high-gain and from low-gain. The bug effected only the absolute
1112 arrival times. The bug was there since 30.1.2005.
1113
1114 - callisto: Changed the ExtractionWindow for the pulse position check
1115 such that the camera inhomogeneity becomes as less as possible and
1116 comparable to the pulso position check switched off. More details
1117 on the study will be given at our result web-page.
1118
1119 - ganymed: ganymed.rc, ganymed_onoff.rc:
1120 changed to new cuts trained with 1ES1218 and Crab-data
1121 for maximum sigma*log10(excess)
1122
1123 - ganymed: In addition to the Hadronness calculator (CalcHadronness)
1124 a new option was implemented to estimate Disp (CalcDisp)
1125
1126 - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow
1127 to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files
1128 --ins=/magic/sequences
1129 and where to search for the image data
1130 --ind=/magic/data/star
1131
1132 - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing
1133 dx/dy from the resource file by
1134 MSrcPosCorrect.Dx
1135 MSrcPosCorrect.Dy
1136
1137 - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars
1138 as the requested source name had were compared (If a source
1139 "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304"
1140 were requested it could happen that the coordinates of
1141 "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed
1142 in addition to its name to the logging output.
1143
1144 - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function
1145 from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement
1146 for on-only analysis'
1147
1148 - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy-
1149 bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17)
1150
1151 - sponde: Added a plot E^2*dN/dE
1152
1153 - sponde: The energy estimator plot should now show values like
1154 they are commonly used.
1155
1156 - sponde: Now MMcSpectrumWeight also excepts formulas with two X
1157 (a powerlaw with cutoff didn't work before)
1158
1159
1160
1161 *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01)
1162
1163 - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C:
1164 how to calculate the threshold
1165
1166 - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with
1167 MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino
1168 and MagicReversi)
1169
1170 - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise
1171
1172 - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0
1173
1174 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new
1175 resource file resources/calibration.rc
1176
1177 - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping
1178 the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the
1179 automatic processing
1180
1181 - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information
1182 developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than
1183 the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important
1184 for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old
1185 treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the
1186 arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken)
1187
1188 - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the
1189 decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower
1190 information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation
1191 further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal
1192 do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel
1193 beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the
1194 pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal.
1195 By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the
1196 corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can
1197 be supressed.
1198
1199 - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated)
1200 got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed.
1201 (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel
1202 content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning
1203 algorithm)
1204
1205 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal
1206 extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly)
1207 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm).
1208 (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been
1209 introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two
1210 types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects
1211 the first seconds of data of each sequence.
1212
1213 - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation
1214 of the parameters could be made independant of the noise
1215 (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search
1216 extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully
1217 understood.
1218
1219 - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case,
1220 because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they
1221 are sorted by their sequence number.
1222
1223 - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut
1224
1225 - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed.
1226
1227
1228
1229 *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18)
1230
1231 - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of
1232 inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate
1233 fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled #
1234 histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely.
1235
1236 - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms
1237 calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails
1238 it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast.
1239
1240 - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode.
1241 Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results.
1242
1243
1244
1245 *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05)
1246
1247 - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the
1248 MC binning
1249
1250 - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in
1251 April (MSrcPosCorrect)
1252
1253 - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly
1254
1255 - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm
1256
1257 - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes
1258
1259 - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly
1260
1261 - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and
1262 marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog
1263
1264 - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically
1265 ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly
1266 represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading
1267 of the subsystem data
1268
1269 - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also
1270 Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset.
1271
1272 - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo.
1273 It gave wrong results by 1./2pi
1274
1275 - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too
1276
1277 - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment
1278
1279 - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available
1280
1281 - mars: show muon parameters graphically
1282
1283 - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline
1284 argument
1285
1286 - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190
1287 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the
1288 counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file
1289 (MCameraHV).
1290
1291 - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated
1292 by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070)
1293
1294 - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context
1295 menu, eg in the TBrowser
1296
1297 - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to
1298 - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline)
1299 - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
1300 This is important mainly for timing studies.
1301
1302 - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from
1303 - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst)
1304 - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast)
1305 - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst)
1306 - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast)
1307 Introduced new limits:
1308 - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05
1309 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5
1310 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5
1311
1312 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter
1313 has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special
1314 for Monte Carlo calibrations.
1315
1316 - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference
1317 for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05)
1318
1319 - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain
1320 was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the
1321 fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable.
1322 This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain
1323 channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough
1324 to make the distribution reliable.
1325
1326 - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now,
1327 the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too
1328 high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices
1329 saturated and produced wrong limits.
1330
1331 - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc:
1332 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes
1333 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes
1334 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes
1335 + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes
1336
1337 - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration,
1338 the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096
1339 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more
1340 than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the
1341 mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some
1342 calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more
1343 than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where
1344 a good precision is needed.
1345
1346 - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of
1347 photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly).
1348
1349 - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor
1350 method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but
1351 more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain
1352 changes.
1353
1354 - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data
1355 as calculated by MPedestalY2
1356
1357 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and
1358 unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is
1359 calculated from interleaved events
1360
1361 - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to
1362 be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the
1363 best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value
1364 was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another
1365 task
1366
1367 - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate
1368
1369 - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean
1370 DC currents
1371
1372 - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean
1373 Pedestal Rms
1374
1375 - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider
1376
1377 - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant
1378 for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth
1379 plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf
1380 became pedestal rms dependant
1381
1382 - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in
1383 http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/
1384
1385 - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in
1386 May/April 05
1387
1388 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable:
1389 ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc
1390
1391 - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released
1392
1393 - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize
1394
1395 - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number
1396 of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of
1397 total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram
1398
1399 - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp
1400
1401 - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function:
1402 The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor
1403 sqrt(2) to large
1404
1405 - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp
1406 and a background model determined in the first loop is
1407 subtracted
1408
1409 - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct
1410 solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using
1411 the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped.
1412
1413 - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is
1414 already determined by the third moment along the major axis and
1415 so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower.
1416
1417 - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account
1418 when calculating the source position. This is especially important
1419 for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data.
1420
1421 - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as
1422 good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch
1423 it off add
1424 MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1
1425 to your ganymed.rc
1426
1427 - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of
1428 choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest
1429 and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use...
1430
1431 - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold
1432
1433
1434
1435 *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03)
1436
1437 - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should
1438 have no influence on compatibility with older camera files
1439
1440 - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows
1441 to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree)
1442 before any other tree.
1443
1444 - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the
1445 run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such
1446 that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated
1447 correctly.
1448
1449 - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window
1450
1451 - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which
1452 allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or
1453 (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of
1454 the run stored in the runheader.
1455
1456 - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in
1457 MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was
1458 already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
1459
1460 - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter)
1461 now changes the filename for new weights automatically for
1462 cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors.
1463
1464 - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the
1465 name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored.
1466 Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead
1467 of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc.
1468
1469 - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is
1470 explicitly set also for pretty new runs
1471
1472 - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows
1473 to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1)
1474 to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from
1475 the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor
1476 is fixed to 1
1477
1478 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit
1479 more accurate now
1480
1481 - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different
1482 pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into
1483 account - not only kUnsuitableRun
1484
1485 - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default
1486
1487 - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2.
1488 This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg
1489 arrival times) are calculated more accuratly.
1490
1491 - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc
1492 MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0
1493
1494 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants
1495 hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root
1496
1497 - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents
1498 from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt
1499
1500 - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit
1501 has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very
1502 ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image
1503 cleaning around them (Markus G.)
1504
1505 - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has
1506 suggested that different extractors give slightly different
1507 absolute results after calibration, due to there different
1508 handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although
1509 the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or
1510 the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated).
1511 There for correction factors have been introduced which correct
1512 the calibration constants by
1513 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
1514 and
1515 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc)
1516 calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can
1517 be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample.
1518 The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a
1519 Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc)
1520
1521 - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms
1522 vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results
1523 on the screen. The output and all following programs not
1524 directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected
1525
1526 - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event
1527 is read and Processed before the first data event was read.
1528
1529 - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard
1530 false source plot with a different one. For example: If
1531 you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource:
1532 NameHistFS: MHDisp
1533 For details about the requirements of these plots look
1534 at the corresponding classes
1535
1536 - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize
1537 has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead
1538 of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this
1539 case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization
1540 MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call
1541 RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize
1542 has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy
1543
1544 - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a
1545 different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For
1546 more details see the class description and sponde.rc
1547
1548 - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by
1549 their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using
1550 the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum
1551 and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut
1552 normalization is normally wrong.
1553

1555
1556 *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20)
1557
1558 - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image
1559 files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist)
1560
1561 - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes
1562 (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead)
1563
1564 - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes,
1565 because ProcessFile is missleading
1566
1567 - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible
1568
1569 - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have
1570 been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded,
1571 kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes
1572
1573 - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file
1574 versions newer than V200404070
1575
1576 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added
1577 support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel
1578 (MCameraCentralPixel)
1579
1580 - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size
1581 (MHVsSize)
1582
1583 - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics
1584
1585 - Status Display: Improved support for printing:
1586 + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see
1587 MStatusDisplay::PrintPS)
1588 + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line
1589 can be canged
1590
1591 - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels
1592 more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when
1593 using showlog.
1594
1595 - showplot: improved
1596 + The new graphics formats have been implemented
1597 (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm)
1598 + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change
1599 the printing command from the command line you can use all
1600 the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call:
1601 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr
1602 showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root
1603 showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps
1604
1605 - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit
1606 pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the
1607 intensity has been updated in some cases)
1608
1609 - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over
1610 calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have
1611 been taken with Pin Diode.
1612
1613 - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941,
1614 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet)
1615
1616 - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has
1617 been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc
1618
1619 - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for
1620 MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better
1621 statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time
1622 of the cosmisc
1623
1624 - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised
1625 from 2.5 to 4.5
1626
1627 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc
1628 + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump
1629 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit
1630 + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit
1631
1632 - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor:
1633 + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right.
1634 + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different
1635 results on different platform or with different compiler options:
1636 The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because
1637 it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times
1638 adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties
1639 exspecially if multiplied with large numbers)
1640 + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the
1641 spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory
1642 was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing
1643 all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course
1644 they are a lot slower)
1645 ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to
1646 random memory access it might by completely random!
1647
1648 - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter:
1649 + extraction range in the high gain to 4.
1650 + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat
1651
1652 - callisto:
1653 + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times.
1654 + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5
1655 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes":
1656 Default: -9.0 +4.5
1657 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings).
1658
1659 - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change
1660 to a real profile in MHCamera broke it.
1661
1662 - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now
1663 independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for
1664 CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels
1665 has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum
1666 fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has
1667 failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels.
1668 Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics"
1669 (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv)
1670
1671 - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back
1672 from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter.
1673
1674 - callisto: for the common extractors
1675 + MExtractFixedWindow
1676 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow
1677 * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline
1678 * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter
1679 the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain
1680 and fResolutionPerPheLoGain
1681
1682 - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants
1683 hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root,
1684 hilocalib_df6.root
1685
1686 - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the
1687 MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased
1688 from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account
1689
1690 - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the
1691 incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting
1692 pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted
1693 correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10%
1694 too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline
1695 and more than 40% for the sliding window.
1696 The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.)
1697
1698 - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is
1699 displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread
1700 function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF
1701 you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis
1702 is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in
1703 MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc
1704
1705 - star: The weather data is now displayed in star
1706
1707 - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more
1708 accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence
1709
1710 - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken
1711 from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are
1712 changed only minimally
1713
1714 - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of
1715 excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in
1716 MJSpectrum (sponde)
1717
1718 - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta.
1719 Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports
1720 this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the
1721 default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc
1722
1723 - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads
1724 ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum
1725
1726
1727
1728 *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14)
1729
1730 - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital
1731 Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted
1732 by 0.2 slices)
1733
1734 - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has
1735 been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts)
1736
1737 - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now
1738 also done with a intercalibration input file
1739
1740 - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed
1741
1742 - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0
1743
1744 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage
1745
1746 - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop
1747
1748 - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD
1749
1750 - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD
1751
1752 - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set
1753
1754 - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level
1755 which is more than 5 times the variance
1756
1757 - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center
1758
1759 - Fixed handling of drive data. The pointing position in now
1760 copied to MPointingPos inside star for real and MC events
1761
1762 - made sure, that the sequences in a dataset are sorted by
1763 their number to ensure the correct synchronization
1764
1765 - added all resource files necessary to handle spline extraction
1766 of signal for the late 2004 and the early 2005 data
1767
1768 - update the reference lines for the december data
1769
1770 - changed default for fgHiGainFirst from 2 to 0 in spline extractor
1771 This is important for the Dec. and Jan. data where the calibration
1772 pulse position changes much.
1773
1774 - changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain from -1.8 to -2.8 in digital
1775 filter. This corrects only an defective extraction of the MC at
1776 low-gain signals lower than 90 phes.
1777
1778 - fixed some slowdown in calibrating data with interleaved events from
1779 Jan and Dec. As a workaround made the pretty palette the default.
1780 The inverse Deep Blue Sea has a bug which slows down long calibration
1781 runs a lot.
1782
1783 - implemented new values from new starguider report as defined
1784 in TDAS00-07 V7.1 (eg SkyBrighness)
1785
1786 - Fixed the formerly wrong unit of azimuth and zenith angle deviation
1787 in starguider report (If you merpp the same reports with this version
1788 you'll get the correct units (arcmin) but a different result
1789 than with old versions (wrong units))
1790
1791 - Now the status display can also write PNG, JPEG and XPM (other file
1792 formats are still unsupported by root)
1793
1794 - added a lot of scripts and macros in directory datacenter used
1795 for automatic processing
1796
1797
1798
1799 *** Version 0.9 (2005/03/23)
1800
1801 - Calibration is now done autmatically into photo-electrons like
1802 decided by the Collaboration Board

1816 mreport/MReportStarguider.h for implementing starguider-data
1817
1818 - the output of merpp-update now contains starguider information:
1819 MReportStarguider and MTimeStarguider
1820
1821 - Fixed bug in MHHadronness.cc which made that the displayed Q-factor
1822 values were lower than they should. This was more visible for high
1823 energy (Size) events.
1824
1825 - Made MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter the default for callisto
1826
1827 - added a new loop to callisto to support the correct extraction of
1828 the pedestal and pedestal rms through the signal extractor
1829
1830 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure
1831 (MHexagonalFT)
1832
1833 - added class to perform fourier tranformation of a hexagonal structure
1834 in a tasklist (MHexagonalFTCalc) example: hft.C
1835
1836 - added class to enhance the MCerPhotEvt from the Magic camera geometry
1837 MGeomCamMagic to a enhanced geometry MGeomCamMagicXT having only
1838 small pixels, example: extendcam.C
1839
1840 - added possibility to write data to memory (TTree) using MWriteRootFile
1841
1842 - added possibility to read a TTree stored only in memory by MReadTree
1843
1844 - new classes to deal with the interleaved calibration events:
1845 MTriggerPattern, MTriggerPatternDecode and MFTriggerPattern
1846
1847 - implemented filters to callisto to skip calibration events
1848
1849 - changed callisto to calculate three kinds of pedestals and pedestal rms:
1850 + fundamental pedestal (MPedPhotFundamental): extracted directly from
1851 the slices by statistics
1852 + pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractor): extracted with the
1853 signal extractor without randomization
1854 + random pedestal from extractor (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm): extracted
1855 with the signal extractor with randomization (extraction window is
1856 randomly fixed)
1857 The three kind of pedestal is not yet implemented (for speed reasons) as
1858 long as nobody really needs it:
1859 + pedestal from extractor with randomizatiuon (MPedPhotFromExtractorRndm):
1860 extracted with the signal extractor with randomization
1861
1862 - callisto now finds the pulse position in the data automatically
1863
1864 - implemented data reduction in calibrated data by reducing the precision
1865 of the stored floating point values (pedestal, rms and signal) to
1866 roughly 0.5%
1867
1868 - fixed showplot to make file format conversion (eg. converting a
1869 status display stored in a root file into a postscript file) in
1870 batch mode possible:
1871 showplot -b --save-as-ps[=outfile.ps] infile.root
1872
1873 - Allow class names as part of filter rules, eg
1874 (MFSupercuts) && (MHillas.fSize>100)
1875
1876 - fixed a lot of stuff to allow all programs to process MonteCarlo
1877 camera files.
1878
1879 - enhanced possibility to debug reading of resource file
1880
1881 - MDataChain should handle priorities of operator more
1882 accurate now
1883
1884 - completely revised the container in which the signal is stored
1885 MCerPhotEvt/Pix, MArrivalTime --> MSignalCam/Pix
1886 * the new implementation is faster and
1887 * needs less storage space
1888
1889 - FIRST version which can process Monte Carlos through the
1890 whole chain of programs (callisto, star, etc)
1891
1892 - implemented new image parameters for the border length of
1893 the shower image (MNewImagePar2)

1915 - added new program to display an MStatusArray of plots (stored with
1916 MStatusDisplay) from a file: showplot
1917
1918 - Added support for Sequences (MSequence). Sequences are blocks of run
1919 files containing the same calibration and belonging to the same
1920 source
1921
1922 - Added a new task (MTaskEnv) which can be used in setup files to switch
1923 between different tasks (for example to choose a signal extractor)
1924
1925 - Implemented automatic file splitting in MWriteRootFile
1926
1927 - After image cleaning an island index is assigned to all used pixels.
1928 The index corresponds to the order of the islands in size.
1929
1930 - added a cleaning which takes signal height _and_ arrival time into
1931 account: probability cleaning (for more details see MImgCleanStd)
1932
1933 - added a cleaning which takes takes the absolute number of photons
1934 times the area ratio as cleaning level
1935 (for more details see MImgCleanStd)
1936
1937 - Changed calculation of image parameters such, that it can be done
1938 for all used pixels or the pixels with a defined island index only
1939
1940 - implemented new image parameters displaying the number of islands,
1941 saturated hi-gain and lo-gain pixels (MImagePar, MHImagePar)
1942
1943 - event display in executable changed to support also calibrated files
1944 (done with MJCalibrateSignal)
1945
1946 - added program doing the calibration and the signal extraction
1947 and signal calibration: callisto Most part of the setup is done
1948 by a resource file: callisto.rc
1949
1950 - implemented support for pixels with negative IDs (Raw file format
1951 version 4)
1952
1953 - implemented an new option in merpp (--auto-time) to get the time
1954 range for cc and/or caco data from the run header of the raw data
1955
1956 - New star-program (star and MJStar). Taking calibrated data from
1957 callisto/MJCalibrateSignal as input. The setup is done through
1958 a resource file: star.rc
1959
1960 - Added possibility to setup the eventloop in the mars-executable
1961 Camera Display by a resource file: mars.rc
1962
1963 - The the mars-executable Camera Display can now also read
1964 calibrated data files written by callisto/MJCalibrateSignal
1965
1966 - Added a new class which can calculate the source position in
1967 the camera from a pointing model known to be correct and
1968 the pointing model used for observations (MSrcPosFromModel)
1969
1970 - added a new version of the class calculating the effective on-time
1971 MHEffectiveOnTime. It unifies the old classes MHEffOnTime,
1972 MHEffOnTimeTime, MHEffOnTimeTheta, MHTimeDiff, MHTimeDiffTime and
1973 MHTimeDiffTheta.
1974
1975 - added the possibility to count how often a signal is above (or
1976 below) a certain threshold in MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot (this
1977 can replace MHTriggerLvl0)
1978
1979 - added ore convinient ways to set the axis-titles of your histograms
1980 in your macro to some MH-classes like: MH3, MHVsTime, MHSectorVsTime,
1981 MHPixVsTime, MHVsTime, MHCamEvent and MHCamEventRot

2057 the PSF and the center of the star, very useful for misspointing
2058 studies.
2059
2060 - added support for multi-telescope camera files. Added classes
2061 MStereoCalc and MStereoPar, classes to calculate and store shower

2070 an output containing Hillas parameters for each event. The macro
2071 mccalibrate.C does just the calibration and writes out a file containing
2072 pixel information in photons instead of FADC data. The macro starmc2.C
2073 reads in such a file and produces an output with Hillas parameters.

2438 - Added:
2439 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of Theta (MHThetabarTheta)
2440 * calculation of <Theta> as a function of time (MHThetabarTime)
2441 they are needed in the flux calculation in
2442 order to select for a given bin in Theta (or time) the appropriate
2443 effective collection area, which is assumed to be given as a function
2444 of Theta and the true energy
2445
2446 - Added calculation of the migration matrix in the energy
2447 (MHMcEnergyMigration):
2448 the migration matrix describes the migration from the true (E_true)
