-*-*- END -*-*- == == ;general: * On some systems (version of make?) the __LINUX__ definition was not set when compiling. This lead to MTime(-1) not working properly. Fixed. * The status display is now able to write a plain root file which means that the MStatusArray container is omitted and the TCanvas are written to the file directly. This allows to write files which are accessible from a plain root (without MARS) if no MARS objects are contained in the TCanvas'. In turn the reading of files which contains objects and TCanvas' but no MStatusArray object has been improved. * MMcEvt.fPhi and MMcEvt.fTheta have been moved to its base class MMcEvtBasic. Consequently, the direction of the primary shower is not lost in the OriginalMC tree anymore * Added a new class MJTrainImpact to estimate the impact parameter by use of a random forest * Changed MH::SetBinning and similar functions to take references instead of pointers. Except for SetBinning(TH1&, const TH1&), which was renamed to CopyBinning(const TH1&, TH1&) wrapper functions are provided so that old macros should still work. WARNING: These wrappers might be removed in future releases. * A new class MJTrainCuts is available. It provides a way to graphically analyse the cuts performed by a random forest. In addition the graphical output can also be used to understand or find classical cuts. For more details read the class description and look at macros/train/traincuts.C * Implemented the pixel layout of the FACT camera into MGeomCamFACT * Added a macro (macros/fact/fact_trigger.C) to display the FACT camera and the trigger layout. ;ceres: * Allow for individual mirrors with parabolic shape (for details see MReflector::ReadFile) * As an additional output artificial star-files are written. They contain star output compatible output based on the signal as in the artificial callisto output files. * The trigger channel which issued the trigger is now stored in MRawEvtHeader::fNumTriggerLvl1 * The number of photons in the calibration signal is now distributed by a possonian instead of a Gauss. * implemented new file-naming scheme (corsika run-number is new tranfered to the ceres output as file-number). Therefore a new option has been implemented to set an artificial run-number: ---run-number=12345 * The baseline, the baseline noise and the gain (multiplicator to the pulse) are now accessible from the outside. The new values are: MSimCamera.DefaultOffset MSimCamera.DefaultNoise MSimCamera.DefaultGain * Added the FACT trigger layout: resmc/fact-trigger-sum.txt contains the mapping of the regular patches, resmc/fact-trigger-all.txt the mapping of all patches. * Added reading of re-used corsika showers (only supported if MMCS is used) * Added new mirror type MMirrorHex90 (MMirrorHex rotated by 90deg) ;star: * The time constraint in the image cleaning is now scaled with the pixel distance. Consequently, the value given is not absolute in ns anymore, but in ns/deg. This means that the values for MAGIC have to be scaled by a factor of 10. * Star now calculates new timing parameters, namely: ** MHillasExt.fTimeSpread: This is the time spread (rms) around the mean of the arrival times. It is calulated as \sqrt{\sum{(t_i-)^2}/n} ** MHillasExt.fTimeSpreadWeighted: This is the weighted time spread (rms) around the weighted mean of the arrival times. It is calulated as \frac{1}{\sum{w_i}}\sqrt{\sum{w_i(t_i-)^2}}} ** MHillasExt.fSlopeSpread: This is the time spread (rms) around the slope of the arrival times. It is calulated as \sqrt{\sum{(t_i-slope*(\cos\delta*x_i+\sin\delta*y_i)-
)^2}/n} ** MHillasExt.fSlopeSpreadWeighted: This is the weighted time spread (rms) around the slope of the arrival times. It is calulated as \frac{1}{\sum{w_i}}\sqrt{\sum{w_i*(t_i-slope*(\cos\delta*x_i+\sin\delta*y_i)-
)^2} ;trainenergy.C: * The rsolution is not displayed anymore as resolution squared ;automatic processing: * jobmanger: - new algorithm - implemented pbs as a third queueing system (for PhiDo) * moved lock from file to database * insertmc: script to insert montecarlo runs and sequences to the database (to be used until webinterface is available) * implemented possibility of having more than one processing site: One site is the main site, where all output is collected and stored. The output from the other sites has to be copied there. So far used for FACT MC production in Dortmund (PhiDo). * runcorsika: removed STEPFC from inputcard as anyhow default of 1 was used instead of 0.1 * processlog: new output level DEBUG * changed database structure and joins in queries to allow for direct joining of tables with different primaries. This makes checkavail-script unnecassary. * database: added new features to mcinfo.php (MC webinterface to display FACT MC) == Version 2.4 (2009/12/23) == ;general: * Added a new palette "temp" to MH::SetPalette which should resample a temperature * Added consistency check for two consecutive runs * Since ~1006246 (preliminary) the L1 signal (which is L1 after L2) has been disconnected and the L1 (L1TPU) has directly been connected to another bit in the trigger pattern. This has been fixed by an update of the decoding. Both bits are now or'ed together. * Added a new camera layout MGeomCamFact which is the "four rectangular pixels ordered in a hexagonal geometry" layout * All programs now store the command line as TNamed "CommandLine" * the environment variable OSTYPE should now be obsolete. Instead the output of "uname -s" converted to lower cases is used * The Makefiles should now detect the OSTYPE automatically using uname. This should make the setting of OSTYPE obsolete ;showplot: * If a file without a MStatusArray is opened all object (not just canvases) found in the file are drawn. Note that this may result in empty tabs. ;ceres: * The night sky noise is now scaled with the sensitive area and is given in units per square centimeter * The night-sky noise now also takes the cones transmission into account * The night sky noise can now be calculated from a night-sky spctrum * A transmission curve for the cones can now be given * Added the possibility to add a cut after the image parameter calculation (''Cut'') * updated the PDE of the GAPDs with a more reliable curve from the meeting page (linear extrapolate below 350nm) * The impact distribution in the event distrbutions is now perpendicular to Alt/Az and the histogram is displayed in 1D * The GAPD PDE has been updated * PDEs and mirror reflectivities have been linearily extrapolated to match the wavelegth range between 290nm and 900nm * There is no default pulse shape anymoe it must be given in the resource file * Fixed a bug which caused the aerosol coefficient to be incorrectly initialized. The effect might be random but seems to be small. * Now accepts sequence files as input * creation of pedestal and calibration files is now steered by --mode (see ceres help) * Instead of initializing the whole G-APD chip (all cells) before each event (which is rather time consuming) a time evolution before each event is now simulated which is enough to recovere every cell to 99.999% of its response taking the background rate into account. This is in total about a factor of ten faster and should not be less accurate because under normal conditions the recovering cells and the newly hitten cells will hardly be identical (due to statistical reasons) * improved the trigger algorithm which is now faster and allows easily for multiplicity triggers * The PDC flag in the file name is now correctly written * A "PreCut" has been added which can be used after reading the events to select them even before any calculation is done. ;merpp: * The new drive reports which contain also the status of the starguider are now implemented, but the starting date (17/05/09) is preliminary. ;callisto: * Fixed a bug which prevented MAGIC Monte Carlo file from being calibrated (ceres files worked) * updated (Muon) calibration constants of period 62, 63, 72-75 ;star: * allow to run thru even if discriminator threshold are missing (they are not used for analysis so far anyway) ;ganymed: * added new starguider calibration for sequences since 1000534 ;database: * added possiblity to query/plot data from certain source (with regular expressions) in plotdb.php * new feature in showplots*.php: on mouse-over additional information on the sequence is displayed * tables on database website have also 'Last' link now * new version of builddatasets.php with more comfortable sequence selection * new features in builddatasets.php: - user management - 'Get Data Set File' button - 'Display Selected Sequences' button - 'Display Not Selected Sequences' button - 'Select all' buttons * builddatasets.php: added possibility to update data sets in the database * added limit for cloudiness for sequences in the tab 'Limits' ;automation: * jobmanager can be used more flexible now: via environnent variable $AUTOMATIONSETUP more than one jobmanager per user can be started using the same MARS version Usage: export AUTOMATIONSETUP=mysetup ; /fullpath/jobmanager and provide a file Mars/datacenter/scripts/setup.mysetup == Version 2.3 (2009/03/07) == ;SUGGESTION * There is no need to re-run any data because no change took place which could have an effect on the output. However, if you want a meaningful SrcPos plot for your MCs in sponde you must re-process star for your MCs first. ;REMARK * File produced with this release containing a camera geometry (which are basically all files were produced as default) will not be readable by older releases. ;general * fixed a few small bugs which could cause the display to crash in ganymed and sponde * in sequence file the date can now be omittet. In this case the leading date with the underscore is missing in the expected filename * the geometry class now also supports other geometries than just hexagons ;automation * added magnetic field Azimuth direction (ARRANG), currently at ~ -7deg at La Palma ;database * plotdb.php: added default (sequences) for startup, added possibility to set size of plot * added a new table ''RunDataCheck'' which containes the rates after image cleaning for every run which succeeded star. It can be plotted using ''plotrundb.C'' ;merpp * added support for Arehucas Version >= 200812140 * added support for Arehucas Version >= 200809030 ;mars * The display now also displays the trigger pattern * The display can now display ceres reflector (_R_) files ;ceres * added a uniformly distributed one-bin time jitter for the start of the digitization. Otherwise the first photon would be digitized always with the same alignment to the bins * Added a plot showing the production height of the photons * Moved the particle id from the event header to the run header * Added the possibility to simulate a psf on the camera plane (MSimPSF) * Added a new plot ''SignalMax'' showing the maximum entry into the pixels * Added many new options to control the tasks. For deatils see ''ceres.rc'' * Removed obsolete plots in pedestal and calibration mode * Removed the non-NightSky photons from the plots where they are just disturbing * Added a trigger pattern to the output (Ped, Cal or Lvl1) * The daq event number now represents the readout number * The camera ''electronics'' can now be ''switched off'' * A new tab ''Info'' now display basic things like the reflector layout * Improved reading speed for corsika files * Improved memory handling (if a large ampount of memory was needed for a single event all further events were stored in the same memory and it was never freed, so the program took this memory until the end) * Converted the code from MMCS' reflector program to MSimAtmosphere (instead of the tables build in for MAGIC Winter and Summer atmosphere we use the values written by Corsika fitted to the tabulated atmosphere given as input) * For caluclating the displayed image parameters in ceres a basic image cleaning removing isolated pixels is now done. * The magnetic field direction (ARRANG) is now taken into account * Added plot for the energy threshold after trigger ''Threshold'' * Added plot for the effective collection area after trigger ''TrigArea'' ;star * Now outputs MSrcPosCam for Monte Carlos in the Events tree. * The definition of fConcCore has slightly changed. The numbers might decrease a little bit (the effect should be rather small) ;ganymed * added pointing model 328198 ;sponde * The SrcPos plot for your MCs was so far meaningless because it just displayes the MSrcPosCam data from the input star-files. Unfortunately, this containes was never written to the star-files yet. * A new Tab 'OnTime' is available which is an effective on-time fit as in star but for all data. This is mainly for manual cross-check of the effective on-time * In some circumstances it might be necessary to re-calculate the eff. on-time from the fit in the new tab, e.g. when a zenith distance cut was made in ganymed. This can now be forced by ''--force-ontimefit'' * now reads the ''ganymed.rc'' from the ''ganymed.root'' and writes it to its own output file (for convinience) == Version 2.2 (2009/01/30) == ;SUGGESTION * This release doesn't contain a major change which is expected to change your results. Nevertheless there are small changes to the calibration which can effect at least the first few hundred events in any (mainly MUX and even more SUM) sequence a little bit. So it is recommended although not necessary to reset your sequences in the database before further processing. ;NEW * A first implementation of a Monte Carlo simulation program (ceres - Camera Electronics and REflector Simulation) has been implemented. It can simulate a full telescope already including a complete reflector simulation and a flexible trigger and readout simulation. Currently, no perfect setup is implemented and especially the output of the program (data structure) should be considered alpha state. Also the user interface is not yet ready. ;general * All command line options after -- are now interpreted as arguments (usually everything which doesn't start with a minus) rather than options (usually everything which starts with a minus). This allows to use file names starting with a - * In all resource files you can now initialize the random number generator. For details see: MJob::InitRandomNumberGenerator * added a new program called ''readcorsika''. It's purpose is (in analogy to readraw and readdaq) to read a Corsika output file (for now only cherenkov output is supported) and print its contents in a human readable form. It can also write the contents of this file into a root-file. * The calculation of the maximum distance to the origin in a MGeomCam has been improved (edges might be further away than the sides). This is just a tiny change but it might change the appearance of the radial profiles a little bit. * The default binning of the center-of-gravity plot has slightly been increased ;Database * Added informations about the DC currents (fMinCurrents, fMedCurrents and fMaxCurrents). The values are retrieved from the plots showing the average DC currents of all pixels versus time. * Websites with tables have now the opportunity to remove lines ('-' button at beginning of each line) and get all lines back ('+' at top of the column) * Websites: added option to query only sequences containing sumtrigger events * Websites: added option to group by date (year, month, night) for runs and sequences and enabled that combining of different group-bys, e.g. status, date and source is possible ;automatic analyis * Rewritten producing plots in the web. New plots, namely the output of plotoptical.C (extinction curve from KVA), plotstat.C (status of the automatic analysis (percentage of processed, analysed data etc.)) and plotusage.C (statistics of the condor usage in the data center) has been are available now next to the plots of plotdb.C Mean values from the plots (output of the macro) are provided in a txt file now. The creation of the plots for callisto, star and ganymed in the web is now steered via database. Consequently the plots are faster and reliable up-to-date. For all plots, a new layout is available facilitating the browsing through the plots and providing additional information on the displayed values. (tabs.php) These plots are linked from the DB websites and the wiki. ;statusdisplay * The ''Loop'' entry in the menu bar now contains an option to pause the loop and to process single events. ;merpp * Fixed merpping of raw-files (the runheader tree got the name RunHeader instead of RunHeaders) * Now allows to merpp files newer than 2008/09/03. * Added fixes for wrong (wrong or double) run- and file-numbers written by Arehucas. For deatils see MRawRunHeader::FixRunNumbers ;callisto * Extracting the pulse position for the pulse position check events with sum trigger were denied. This decreased the statistics extremely and therefor the resulting puse position was calculated quite weak. Now sum events pass the calculation if and only if they have also a level 1 trigger. * the extraction of pedestal events and pulse position from the first data events is now more automatic and makes sure that a more precise number of events is extracted independent of the ratio with which pedestal events or events with signals are contained in the data. * Updated Muon calibration constants for all MUX data (teh changes were all smaller than 5%) ;star * For the calculation of the effective on time all sum-triggered events were skipped. Now all Level1-triggeres events will pass. This might result in a slight inaccuracy of the effective on time. ;ganymed * If the source position is more than 1deg away from the camera center an error is raised now. * Hopefully fixed the bug ''ganymed crashes when resized'' ;sponde * Fixed a problem which causes the fitted spectral slope to be displayed incorrectly. If you use MJSpectrum::FormFlux in your macros make sure that the parameter 0 of your fit is negative. * Added a histogram showing the read source position of your MCs == Version 2.1.1 (2008/08/04) == ;Database * Added the median number of photo electrons from the calibration pulses to the db (fMedNumPheInner, fMedNumPheOuter) and the relative error of their raw counts (fRelChargeRmsInner, fRelChargeRmsOuter) * Added fTotOnTime, which is the on-time as given by the run-headers (in contradiction to fAbsOnTime which comes from CC) * Added new primaries for the new data structure (Magic II): for the tables dealing with sequences (SequenceBuild Status, Sequences, SequenceProcessStatus, Calibration, Star and DataSetSequenceProcessing) this is the telescope number (fTelescopeNumber) for the tables dealing with runs (RunData and RunProcessStatus) this is in addition the file number (fFileNumber) * Added column fPriority to the status tables to be able to steer the order in which the data is processed. As default the run, sequence and dataset number are used. ;automatic analyis * Adapted scripts to the new data structure: They can handle now different telescopes (getting the information as usual from the database). The paths for Magic 2 are not yet implemented. ;general * should work now with root 5.20/00 (please note that root 5.20/00 we encounter crahses in the status display which are ot yet understood) * Sequences and Datasets are now stored as "MDataSet" and "MSequence" instead of the base name of the file. This makes them easier to access from the code * Default Monte Carlo names in MSequence do not require the _E at the end anymore * where abrrevating a sequence file with a sequence number is possible also "telescope:sequence" is now accepted, e.g.: star 2:2000123 --out=output see the programs' help for more details. * sequences (MSequence or MSequenceSQL) can now directly be retrieved from the database. See the constructors for more details. * MReadTree now supports friends * MReadTree can now read also files not written by MARS and store the data encapsulated in emulated MParContainers * added a new starguider calibration valid since 15.1.08 ;showplot * showplot can now read more than one file at once. This is especially inetersting if reading files containing pure canvases ;merpp * we merpp the dc currents now also from the camera reports (they have just a lower rate than the current reports, 0.1Hz instead of 1Hz) * In the automatic analysis we omit merpping of the currents from the caco files and use the lower rate camera reports from the cc files instead * merpp has been redisigned to allow merpping of the cc-reports of a whole sequence. This allows to design a very simple analysis: mkdir output ./callisto 100776 --out=output ./merpp 100776 output ./star 100776 --ind=output --out=output Instead of the sequence number also sequence files are accepted. * Implemented a fix for run-numbers between 1001348 and 1001396 which were incorrectly assigned by the cc. ;callisto * added a filter again which was was removed in the last release. it removed the most brightest events. This should not change any analysis result because these events are so bright that they cannot be analysed anyway, but the bad-pixel plots doesn't show outliers. * updated muon calibration constants for the periods 51-57, 58-63 and 67- ;star * The camera currents are now displayed with the rate of the camera reports instead of the caco reports ;ganymed * if mc camera files are new enough (>=8) the source position in the camera is now calculated from the stored telscope and shower orientation (Note, that this might not be suitable in all cases depending on the aim of the study. These case still needs implementation) == Version 2.1 (2008/06/18) == ;Database * introduced average temperature and wind speed from star-files * introduced average values from Pyrometer (mainly Cloudiness) * introduced the ratio of accepted calibration events in the calibration run * introduced the average rates of the different trigger pattern, e.g. the rate of pedestal and calibration events, from the signal-file ;general * fixed GroupBy options in plot*.C macros * only display KVA points (not the Tuorla points) in plotoptical.C * all programs now allow to add resources to the ones from the resource file or overwrite them from the command line. This can be done like this ganymed --config=ganymed.rc --rc=Cut1.Param1:0.25 --rc=Cut1.Param3:5.5 if something seems to be wrong you can debug what the program is doing using the option --debug-env=3 * increased the diversity of debug levels. That also means that with -v3 you get now less output, i.e. only the output which is important for an analysis. To get more output which helps for debugging try 4, 5 and 6. * fixed a problem in the task synchronizing the reading of the reports and the data stream. The effect was that in some circumstances the last events of some trees could have been skipped. Since this is only a very tiny part of the data no severe effect to your analysis results is expected (an exception might be very short, i.e. singel runs, datasets). * Dataset file now allow to include the sequence file directly within the dataset file and also allow to exclude single runs from the dataset. (for more details see Class reference of MDataSet) * Sequence files now allow for excluding runs from the analysis (for more details see Class reference of MSequence) * added code to process the sum-trigger flag * the histogram classes MH3 and MHn now support profile histograms * the histogram classes MH3 and MHn now support labels at the axis * the Random Forest Train-classes (MJTRain*) now store the used datasets in the output file * the MFMagicCuts have a new option to allow a linear area cut (for special studies) * The liniking of the shared object is now done into a file defined by 'mktemp'. This should be a local file system which accelerates liniking a lot. * The code has been prepared for compilation with root 5.18/00d * The MHEnergyEst histogram now shows the distribution of (Eest-Emc)/Est and the distributions (Eest-Emc)/Eest vs. Eest and (Eest-Emc)/Emc vs Emc. * fixed mars (event display) for merpped raw-data and MC data * adapted the synatx of sequence files to allow for the new run/file scheme. For more details see class description of MSequence ;showplot * Added support for tiff files * Added support for csv files (tables containing tab number, name and title) * Tabs now can have a title which is displayed in the postscript file * When multiple file are written at once (e.g. pngs from a display) it is now possible to use the tab name and or tab number in the file name. For details see showplos's help. ;merpp * Implemented cc file version 2008-02-20/0 * Implemented cc file version 2008-05-19/0 * With new options merpping can be restricted (in addition to the run-number) also by telescope and file number. For details see "merpp --help" * Implemented raw data format 11 (the most important change, except from plenty of changes in the format definition, is the addition of the file-number in the header) If nobody makes a mistake this format should have the advantage that it is by definition forward compatible, so old programs will be able to read newer formats. * Added Pyrometer information to default output (stored in a new Tree Pyrometer, needs a complete new merpp, i.e. new calibration) * Merpping (also update) can now be restricted to one single report. For example: If you want to update an old file with Pyrometer information call merpp --only=Pyrometer --update ;callisto * in the pedestal processing now at least 50 processed events are required for succeeding. * the signal and calib files now contain also the sequence information * the two MPedestalCam in the calib file now have proper names to distinguish them from each other (MPedestalCam, MPedestalExtracted) * Both pedestal cams now contain the number of events processed * In Mars V2.0 the extraction of the fundamental pedestal was broken, i.e. for the extraction of the calibration pulses basically the average over all events of the first slice instead of all slices was used. Since pedestal and calibration constants are continously recalculated this only effected the very first events of every sequence. * For the extraction of the position of the maximum sample now the extraction range is set automatically to the extraction window, before the whole accessible range was used. * If the number of samples in the events and the number of samples in the run-header disagrees now an error is raised (this can happen in not well simulated Monte Carlo files) * In the case of MUX-data pedestal events with the lvl1 trigger flag could survive into the pedestal calculation -- fixed. * Tab "TrigPat" added showing the distribution of the trigger pattern as found in the run-files (normalized with the run length) * The selection of events from the trigger pattern has been improved. If the trigger pattern is corrupted events won't pass anymore. * Added a new command line option --dev-null to suppress output of Y-files (this is useful for test cases) * added a new tab "CalPos" showing the arrival time of extracted interleaved calibration events * Using the new --test switch you can now calibrate the calibration file ;star * the star file now contains also the sequence information * Added a new command line option --dev-null to suppress output of I-files (this is useful for test cases) * Tab "Rate" added showing the distribution of the trigger pattern (should only be Trig (Lvl1/Lvl2) and Sum (Sum only)) as found in the Y-files (normalized with the run length) * The effective on-time calculation doesn't use events with only sum-trigger anymore * The data in the MHWeather tab has been reorganized. The never working solar radiation has been removed and the data from the pyrometer (cloudiness, air and sky temperature) is displayed in addition. ;ganymed/sponde * Now data points are even shown correctly if they have error bars larger than one sigma. Points with null or negative significances are omitted. * DrawNicePlot now allows to set a projection range * Updates pointing models. One is applied after the implementation of the new LUTS in August, the other one is applied after the next major change of the pointing model in October. Note that these models are preliminary and give wrong results below Zd=65deg ;sponde * fixed resource files ('''Spectrum''' instead of '''MJSpectrum''') * a new option "--force-runtime" is available. In case of very short datasets (for light-curves) which are in the order of a few minutes the calculated effective on-time is not very acurate because it is quantizised in the order of a minute. Therefore you can switch to using the real run-time instead (remakrt: this ignores any dead-time!) * a more analytical way is used to "fill" Monte Carlos into regions of impact parameters which have not been simulated because the trigger efficiency is assumed to be 0. * estimated sensitivity curves for hi and lo zenith angles are shown scaled to the correct observation time and collection area * the Monte Carlo events after cuts are now written to the output file if an output file given *** Version 2.0 (2007/09/03) - database: the position used for the pulse pos check was missing in the callisto output and could thus not be filled into the DB. Also the old values seemed not exactly the PulsePos used for teh check. - general: Resource file now allow an Include-Resource, i.e. you can read a resource file with default settings, include it in your resource file and overwrite the settings in your file. More than one include file is allowed. Inclusions can be iterative. Include: mydefaults.rc yourdefaults.rc The resources in the first file have higher priority than the second file. - general: Now the output files (calib*.root, etc) also contain the resource file (to check it open it in the TBrowser and choose Print() from the context menu) - general: Dataset files now allow to overwrite the default path to search for sequence and data files. Note, that the program option and individual resources will overwrite it. For example: SequencePath: /magic/montecarlo/sequences DataPath: /magic/montecarlo/star - general: Fixed a problem with variables in MDataPhrase. It seems that only optimdisp (didn't work) was effected. - general: Some improvements to the optim and train processing. For example the ststud window now got a proper title. - general: The "Status Display: " was removed from the window title within an Eventloop. - general: added a new flexible histogram-class (MHn) which can be used for example in testing after optimizations or training to produce user defined histograms. - general: The Random Forest now allows attaching an evaluation function which is applied to its output. This allows to train on whatever you like (eg. train on log10(energy), but return energy) - general: The Random Forest training of energy (trainenergy.c) and disp (traindisp.C) has been improved by more graphical output to judge the result. - general: The training of energy (trainenergy.C) has been improved a lot by training on a different quantity than energy. It gives a result which is highly independant of the source spectrum and shows lower bias than all other options. - general: Dataset files are allowed to contain collections of datasets. For more details see the class reference of MDataSet. - general: The default WobbleMode in a datset file now (if not overwritten) is "auto", i.e. wobble mode is set if the dataset doesn't contain off-sequences. - merpp: Merpp can read file format version 9 now. Please realize that for file format version 9 the extraction range is different and must be set to 0/49 instead of 15/64 in callisto_mux.rc until the first and last 15 slices have been removed from all MUX data. - mars: Similar to writing movies you can now select events which should be displayed in your display. Therefore add the following lines to your mars.rc: MFEvtNumber.FileName: ganymed00223552.root MFEvtNumber.Selector: ThetaSquared.fVal<0.04 && DataType.fVal>0.5 The input file can be a ganymed-file after (ganymed*.root) or before (ganymed*-summary.root) file. For example to select all events from your on sample after cuts (excluding the ThetaSq cut) use MFEvtNumber.Selector: DataType.fVal>0.5 To show all events from your on-sample after quality cuts use the summary file instead. - mars: new ways to call mars are implemented. Instead of calling mars filename.root you can now also use mars sequence.txt or mars sequence.txt inputpath or replace sequence.txt by the sequence number if the default sequence file should be used. - mars: The default size has been increased - mars: There are two new heckboxes which allow to switch off the calculated image parameters - callisto: was broken for MCs... fixed. - callisto: improved calculation of spline coefficients a lot. This leads to a further improvement of the event rate calibrating MUX data of about 15% (175evt/s instead of 150evt/s) - callisto: finally the raw data we read is now real 16bit (with 10bit precision) for MUX data and not a stripped 8bit number anymore. Due to scaling of the numbers (without precision loss into an [0-256[ range, the final numbers for pedestal, pedestalrms and extacted signal don't change. However, at all places where raw data is directly accessed (eg. saturation and variation limits in the signal- and pedestal-extraction) the numbers refer still to the data's 16bit range. - callisto: The maximum arrival time difference used in the bad pixel treatment is now in units of nanoseconds, which leads to 3.0ns for both, old FADC and MUX-FADC, data. - callisto: Be aware that callisto is now calibrating the arrival time in nanoseconds rather than time slices. Also all following tasks have been changed to assume ns units now. If you star data calibrated with an older version it might be necessary to adapt some timimng parameters (Muon Analysis and MFSoftwareTrigger) to obtain optimal results. The plot in the PulsePos tab will now be in ns, too. This might also mean that the Muon analysis in star might not work as perfect as expected as long as old files read in. - callisto: The calibration constants of earlier updates got lost somehow. All constants have been updated. - star: The PSF is now determined from the profile of the ArcWidth instead of arcwidth/radius. The old way gave to much weight to the bins with low statistics. The reference lines have been updated. - star: For speed reasons events suitable for the muon analysis are now also preselected by fConcCOG<0.1 which seems to be a very good preselector for muons. - star: is now calculating a new timing parameter the Slope along the major and minor axis of the shower. Therefore a numerical solution of a line-fit is used. To use MHillasExt.fSlopeLong and MHillasExt.fSlopeTrans don't forget to multiply it with the sign stored in MHillasSrc.fCosDeltaAlpha as usual. - star: The parameters fInnerSize, fInnerLeakage1 and fInnerLeakage2 have been removed from MNewImagePar. They have never been good for anything. - star: Implemented a new recursive algorithm which is supposed to be faster. Also implemented new cleaning oiptions, which are: + CleanLevel0: The cleaning level above single core pixels can be kept + KeepIsolatedPixels: Define whether single core pixels should be kept + TimeLevel1: The coincidence window in nanoseconds to single used neighbors + TimeLevel2: The coincidence window in nanoseconds to two used neighbors + PostCleanType: MOde in which a time dependent post cleaning should be applied 0: No post cleaning 1: Require for each used pixels at least one used neighbor within a time-window of CleanLevel1 2: Require for each used pixels at least two used neighbor within a time-window of CleanLevel2 3: Require first two and second one used neighbor within a time-window of CleanLevel1 and fCleanLevel2 respectively + RecoverIsolatedPixels: - recoveres isolated core pixels if they have a used neighbor - mars/star: The new default cleaning is: + CleanLevel1: 6.0 + CleanLevel2: 3.0 + CleanTime1: 1.75 + CleanTime2: 1.75 + PostCleanType: 3 - star/ganymed: The old spark-cuts have been replaced by new ones. These new spark cuts have been cross checked with the sequences 84720 (before splitter), 101041 (after splitter) and 223539 (new FADCs). In all cases they seperate pretty well, but of course not perfect. Monte Carlos have suggested to tighten the cuts a little bit further at low sizes. This has been done. - ganymed: IMPORTANT - The spark cuts have been changed to match all available data more or less well. This might mean that for YOUR data there are still sparks visible. Whenever you do an analysis you have to make sure that NO sparks survive your cuts! - ganymed: The old hadronness and size cuts have gotten new indices (10, 11). The old indices 8 and 9 now mean an additional condition for ghostbusting based on the formula (dist-c[9])*c[8]-slope. If you want to switch off this cut just move the line far away enough, e.g. by setting c[9] to -500. Please update your ganymed.rc files accordingly! The unit of c[9] is deg. It is the dist at which your cut will cross the slope==0. The unit of the slope is ns/deg. So if you readin files calibrated with an older Mars-version you have to adapt the default value for c[9] to the FADCs: - Multiply by two for the MUX FADCs (run number > 200.000) - Multiply by 0.3 for the Siegen FADCs (run number < 200.000) - Multiply by 42 for the meaning of life (run number = 200.000) - ganymed: The old Cut0 is now called CutQ and is calculated before the source position is caluclated. If you need a quality cut including source dependant data (be very carefull with this!) you have to use Cut0 instead. - ganymed: now properly supports three off regions in wobble mode. It will be the default from now on in ganymed_wobble.rc. To change the number of off-regions use NumOffSourcePositions: 1 in your ganymed.rc. Also by default no off-theta cut will be done anymore so that you will get a background level higher than the signal level in your ThetaSq plot for ThetaSq>0.2. Due to this be carefull changing the scaling mode away from "None". You will underestimate your signal if your scale interval is not properly set. (Rem: ThetaSqN is no longer needed) - ganymed: is now storing the events of all (on- and off-) source positions even in the case of more than one off-source position. This should allow sponde to work properly and the energy estimation is done correctly in all cases (without any "nearest position" trick) - ganymed: From 85340 (19.3.2006) on a real starguider calibration with a real pointing model for the starguider is done, calibrated with more than thousand tpoints taken from this date on. - ganymed: was broken for Wobble-MCs... fixed. - ganymed: The default cuts (MFMagicCuts) and the disp-parametrization has changed. Note that your old ganymed.rc will be incompatible with the new algorithms! Please check the ganymed.rc files and the class description of MFMagicCuts for more information. It is recommended at the moment to use identical Disp-Parametrizations for on/off- and wobble-mode. If cuts are optimized only the Area-Cut (parameters 2,3,4) and the theta-sq cut (parameter 1) should be optimized. All other values should be kept as they are. If you want to do an anylsis without timing a parameters, you can switch off the timing cuts by seeting parameter 7 to a very small value (eg. -99). To remove the slope parameter from the disp paremtrization set parameter 8 to 0. - ganymed: The distribution of observation time versus zenith angle is now shown for off- AND on-data. - ganymed: The contents of the source position plot are no longer averaged, thus a lot of (fake) events between the two wobble positions have disappeared. - ganymed: There is a new tab "CutT" it contains the VsSize plots with the CutT, whihc is defined in ganymed.rc, applied. It is resonable to use your theta-cut for it, to see if there is something strange (sparks!) in your signal-region. - ganymed: To choose a dataset from a collection in a dataset file use the new command line option "--dataset=12345" - optim, sponde: should now properly support three off-regions. Just produce your ganymed summary files with three off-regions. optim and sponde will automatically get all off events from all off-regions from this file. Please do not forget to set the scaling in optimwobble.C properly: fit.SetScaleUser(1./3); it is not yet read in automatically (will follow soon). In the case of fixed Scale you can also use cuts.SetThetaCut(MFMagicCuts::kOn); no off-cut needed. Be carefull in case of three off-regions when switching on scale mode. Make sure that the scale interval is set correctly. - sponde: sponde.rc and sponde_onoff.rc are now idetical - sponde: the resouce files have been rewritten with a lot of comments and a well working parametrization for an energy estimator - sponde: In the estimated energy versus monte carlo energy plot the contents where exchanged.... fixed. - sponde: the so called "accurate"-mode has been removed. It didn't give any improvement in accuracy, only decreased execution speed. - sponde: the so called "simple"-mode has been removed. It didn't give any improvement in simple. - sponde: the so called "refill"-mode has been removed. It was anyhow not implemented. - sponde: now checks whether the theta distribution of your on-data and the theta-distribution of your Monte Carlo sample (after weighting) fits. If it doesn't fit properly (eg. the Monte Carlo sample is incomplete) execution is stopped. Execution can be forced using the new option --force-theta. Use this option with care! - sponde: Proper collection areas can now be constructed also from Monte Carlo samples generated with different maximum impact parameters. Note that in previous version you neither got a warning or failure, nor was there any obvious sign that the collection area was overestimated due to usage of files with different maximum impact parameters. - sponde: If MC files with different lower energy limits are used the primary MC spectrum is artificially completed down to the lowest energy used at all. WARNING: that this gives correct collection areas ONLY if none of the events in this region would survive your cuts at all. - sponde: the output file now contains more information about the spectrum (eg. the full 2D collection area histogram). Note, that this information can only be written to the file if it is stored automatically via command line argument. If you only store the status display from within the display the information is lost. - sponde: added a new tab "Disp". It shows the residual of the disp (Disp-Dist) versus several parameters and it is meant to judge the quality of the disp estimator. In the ideal case the residual is zero and doesn't depend on any variable. The tab is displayed after CutQ and Cut0. - sponde: added a new tab "Energy". It shows the residual of the energy (lg(estimated energy)-lg(monte carlo energy)) versus several parameters and it is meant to judge the quality of the energy estimator. In the ideal case the residual is zero and doesn't depend on any variable. In reality even a good estimator can show residuals versus Monte Carlo energy. The tab is displayed after all cuts. - sponde: added a new tab "EventDist" showing the unweighted real absolute number of events of your sample after cuts. This tells you how many events with this energy you had in your MC files. The same information you get from the error bars of the weighted histograms, but this is less intuitive. - sponde: The spectrum plots now show the crab- and 1553-spectrum for comparison. It is not meant to show these curves in publications, they are only for production. - sponde: The OriginalMC tree with the events produced by corsika is now processed only once - sponde: Finally fixed most annoying bug, which has effected the last bin of the collection area. It was the problem that binnings of root histograms are from 1 to n (included) but there was a C-like loop in sponde from 0 to n (excluded). Now the loop also includes correctly under- and overflow-bins. The worse thing with this is, that for the events in the highest bin not only the bin-content was wrong, but also the weights applied to these events, which could in pricipal effect also other parts of the distribution (eg. due to energy estimation). Fortunately it effected only a few events in most cases. *** Version 1.2 (2007/05/14) - database: The database now has two new values Unsuitable50 and Unsuitable01. They express the number of pixels which are unsuitable for more than 50%, respectively more than 1%, of all calibrated event. It is a more accurate number than the previously used numbers, because they only take the first calibration (ignoring the interleaved calibrations) into account. - database: The database now has two other new values UnsuitableMax and DeadMax. They express the maximum number of pixels which were unsuitable, respectively dead, during the sequence. Because of high pedestal rms (cars passing) a few events with very high numbers of unsuitable pixels can happen. Not to suffer from this effect we don't take the highest 0.1% of the numbers into account. - general: fixed a bug which caused callisto and star to stop working properly because the callisto output was currupted - general: a script called scripts/makemovie has been added which simplified the process of producing several movies from a single sequence with different setup. - callisto: Some more code cleanup. Started to remove old obsolete code from cvs. - callisto: The extraction of the pedestal with the extractor was not random. It seems that extracting at one position is still biased (for example in the first or last slices we could still suffer from switching noise) Now it is completely random. - callisto: In MPedCalcPedRun (which is the pedestal extraction from pedestal files) individual pixels could be skipped due to high variations. This was already the case for the pedestal extraction from the lo-gains since the beginning and properly handled there, but was introduced in the extraction from the pedestal files a while ago. To calculate the average value it was still divided by the number of events procesed not by the number of summands really summed. This let to a pedestal which was a tiny amount too small (for a few piels in the order of 0.1%). This led to an slightly positive offset of the randomly extracted pedestal for a few pixels. I doubt that this has a big effect on the result, because the effect on the individual numbers is quite small. Due to this it is suggested that you rerun your calibration to make sure you are without any avoidable bias. - callisto: the ArrTimeRmsLimit is now is a check of the deviation from the median rms of the absolute arrival time and expressed in significance levels. This replaces the old meaning of an abolute upper limit. An absolute upper limit doesn't make much sense, because in our data all arrival times are shifted at the same time (in fact it might be a shift of the artificial trigger w.r.t. to the light flash). - callisto: Added a new tab "BadPixTm" which shows the time evolution of the number of unsuitable pixels over the whole sequence. This is usefull mainly to judge if an intermediate calibration had problems. - callisto: Added a new tab "DeadPixTm" which shows the time evolution of the number of dead pixels over the whole sequence. Dead pixels in this context are unmapped pixels, i.e. pixels which could not be interpolated, and thus are ignored in the further analysis. - callisto: It is now possible to use the position of the maximum of the spline as arrival time instead of the leading edge even when using the integral for the signal. Therefor set the extraction type to kIntegralRel ("IntegralRelative") and the relative height ("HeightTm") to -1: MJPedestalC1.ExtractSignal.ExtractionType: IntegralRelative MJPedestalC1.ExtractSignal.HeightTm: -1 *** Version 1.1 (2007/04/27) - general: The new class MGeomCamDwarf contains the camera geometry for our prefered Dwarf camera and can be used to create general geometries of roundish or hexagonal cameras. - mars: The default cleaning is now abolute 8.5/4.0. - mars: The resource file mars.rc now contains examples for MUX data - merpp: Implemented file format version 8 (MUX FADC data). The 16-bit data containing only 10-bit information is still cooked down to 8-bit, by cutting away the lowest 8-bit. - merpp: When reading raw data the data is now stored in a single array. The lo-gain array is obsolete. The interface stays the same. - callisto: To process the new MUX data use the resource file callisto_mux.rc - callisto: The -root and -raw options to read merpped raw data have been removed - callisto: If the -mc option is given the sequence-name can now be replaced by the MC sequence number - callisto: If the sequence file contains "MonteCarlo: Yes" the -mc option can now be omitted - callisto: Started further simplification by removing obsolete dependancies on MCalibIntensity*Cams. - callisto: removed unsused intensity calibration from MJCalibration for further simplification - callisto: for simplification removed references to MBadPixelsIntensityCam, MCalibrationIntensityQECam, MCalibrationIntensityRelTimeCam, MCalibrationIntensityTestCam, MCalibrationIntensityChargeCam, and MCalibrationIntensityBlindCam (this should at minimum change nothing at all, and at maximum improve thing if these containers where somewhere not handled properly) - callisto: Added the option to write an event movie. Please use this option with care (huge files) but exessively to understand our events. For further documentation please refer to the IACT wiki (currently at http://www.astro.uni.wuerzburg.de/mediawiki-1.9.0) - callisto: Improved binning for the pulse position check histogram - callisto: The code calculating the pulse position checknow takes the pedestal into account - callisto: The arrival time is now stored with full precision this helps to get rid of artefacts in histograms. For the signal this is not necessray because it is displayed in log-scale anyhow - callisto: Fixed a problem with internal exclusions. Pixels which have once been marked as unsuitable didn't get the necessary histograms filled anymore to be rechecked with each interleaved calibration. - callisto: The relative arrival time resolution (the rms of the relative arrival time offset) is now checked against its median and the median deviation, instead of the average plus an absolute offset. - callisto: The relative arrival time offset is now calculated w.r.t. its median not w.r.t. to an artificial reference pixel. - callisto: The relative time calibration now marks pixels with outlaying offset as unsuitable - callisto: The interleaved relative time calibration has been switched on. The advantage is that pixels which are marked as outliers now can recover. An improvement over time is not expected, because the relative time calibration seems stable. - ganymed: If the dataset file containes "MonteCarlo: Yes" the "-mc" option can now be omitted. - ganymed: If either the dataset file containes "MonteCarlo: Yes" or the option "-mc" is specified as default the monte carlo datacenter paths (/magic/montecarlo/...) are used if not overwritten in the dataset file. - ganymed: The output files now contain run- and event-number for all events, accessible as RunNumber.fVal and EvtNumber.fVal - ganymed: Added a plot showing the source position in the camera also for wobble mode - ganymed: In addition to the existing task which can be setup to be executed after Cut1 a final task called "EstimateEnergy" has been added, executed before writing the final output (ganymed00000000.root). The task setup in all three cases can be choosen individually. (For all three(!) cases you can for example choose MRanForestCalc. For examples see all sponde*.rc and all ganymed*rc) - ganymed: If a container "MEstimatedEnergy" is found in the parameter list (eg. because it was setup by MEstimateEnergy) it will be written to the output file. *** Version 1.0 (2007/02/16) - database: Website to plot values from the database has been added. - database: The rate of spark events as found by star is now kept and the rate after cleaning is now with spark events subtracted - general: The changes to the interpretation of phrases lead to a problem with the access of MHMatrix objects (eg. "M[0]")... fixed. - general: Added example files how you can create your own calendar (eg. as christmas present) with Mars. Just run root macros/tutorials/calendar.C - general: Added a possibility to display grouped data in the plotdb.C macro (and similar macros). This allows to plot hourly, nightly, weekly, monthly and yearly averages. For more details see the plotall function of the macro - general: fixed the error display of the camera display. It showed wrong results. - general: fixed a memory leak when reading many MStatusDisplays - general: added a macro (macros/tutorials/mirrordelay.C) plotting the delay between a spherical and a parabolic mirror - callisto: We have a new pulse position check which takes the properties of the extractor automatically into account. So no need to set ExtractWinLeft/Right anymore. Again a check for pulses too much to the left is done. If possible the lo-gain extraction start and hi-gain extraction end is changed accordingly. If no proper extraction range can be set (hi-gain too much to the left) an error is raised. - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected - callisto: Redone the signal extraction this includes: + Unified the algorithms to extract the pedestal for all pedestal extractions done + Unification of hi- and lo-gain into one array + Unification of hi- and lo-gain extraction for Spline and Digital Filter (means now exactly the same algorithm is used, not a copy-and-pasted one) + Store pedestal subtracted data in a common place + Improved extraction algorithms. If the algorithms search a maximum but don't find one they don't return the maximum anymore + Improved the extraction such that a information for signal and time which is consistent is returned + replaced the numerical spline with a (not slower) analytical solution + Lowered the saturation limit from 250 to 245 to make sure that we are far away in all pixels from problems with the clock-noise + The start of the lo-gain extraction is calculated from the hi-gain arrival time. In case of saturation an estimation is used. + the hi-gain window was extended to slice 16. This allows extraction of very late pulses in single pixels or of huge hadron showers. + Now uses the lo-gain extraction range for pedestal extraction, not the hi-gain range in the lo-gain - callisto: New hi-/lo-gain calibration constants have been produced for all periods from the statistic of the whole period. They are now used automatically depending on the periods. The old constants where deviation in avarega about 2%-3%. The constants are very stable from period to period (<<1%) except for exchanged channels. In a few cases the constants used so far were off by 1%-2% (maybe temperature effects?) - callisto: To gain obsolete space we do not write the MPedestalFundamental anymore. Also calibration and bad pixel treatment is not done for it anymore because it has never been used. - callisto: Fixed a bug in the seuqence handling which caused the light condition to be ignored - star: Added two new tabs "Sparkless" and "Sparks" these tabs show basically the same as "Cleaned" but the distribution devided into the events fullfilling a spark cut or being rejected by it. This cut can be changed from star.rc (see example inside) by the "SparkCut" directive - star: Star displays now the average individual pixel-rate (IPR) versus time and the average discriminator threshold (DT) of all pixels. - optim: fixed a problem with the optim-macros which was due to a bug in the new phrase parsing - ganymed: To get a nice FalseSource plot (instead of the all-information debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot" and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains the other options) PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION! - ganymed/optim/train: The cut program, trainings- and optimization macros could run with less files found than expected from the sequence-files. No the execution is stopped in this case. - ganymed: now stores the dataset in the output file with all information contained (as sequence number, sequence path, data path) so that the used dataset file can be recreated complete from the output - sponde: now also allows the uasge of random forest - sponde: added a plot showing the cut efficiency - sponde: Using root versions < 5.13/04 still resulted in wrong binomial errors (eg. effecting the collection area) because the errors of the two histograms were swapped in the calculation, which makes a difference in the case the histograms contains weighted events. Aditionally the totalarea was incorrectly taken into account, which results in too small errors, which makes a difference at low statistics were the errors or the collection area dominate. *** Version 0.10.3 (2006/10/23) - database: Implemented ObservationMode flag in websites. - database: For sequences there is now also the stoptime available on the websites. - database: Removed ManuallyChanged flag from sequence-info websites, as it is not needed anymore with the new sequence building algorithm. - general: MRolke.[cc,h]: Modification of TRolke from root_v5.12.00b. Class for calculation of confidence intervals (upper limits). Use model 3 or 4 for upper limit calculation for MAGIC observations. Please read the class instruction of TRolke for more information. - general: The programs now return 0xfe if the requested resource file doesn't exist. - general: Errors comming from root itself are now not output to stderr anymore but to our default (colored) log-stream. - general: Changed the interface to TFormula such that now everything is parsed by TFormula, which should allow to use phrases even without paranthesis correctly parsed. - callisto: replaced the AdHoc number of effective integration slices in the digital filter by an average of the correct number, averaged over all possible set of weights. This also gives correct numbers for the lo-gains which were totally wrong before. - callisto: drastically reduced memory consumption by not storing all intermediate calibration results in memory anymore (we might write them into a file in the future) - ganymed: To get a nice Theta-Sq plot (instead of the all-information debug plot displayed as a standard plot) use the context menu somewhere between the two upper plots, click on "DrawNicePlot" and enjoy the result. (It is the same context menu which contains the "DrawAll" option) PLEASE ALWAYS USE THIS PLOT FOR ANY KIND OF PRESENTATION! *** Version 0.10.2 (2006/10/15) - general: changed the building of the sequence files such, that the source-/project name in case of wobble-sources is not the source/project of the first data run anymore but the new generalized wobble source/project - general: Added some functions to MAstro to calculate sun and moon properties - general: Added two new macros (starvisday.C and starvisyear.C) which allow to plot the visibility of several stars in one day or of one star along one year *** Version 0.10.1 (2006/10/11) - general: HTML logging output was distorted... fixed. - general: Changed the writing of the sequencefiles such that only as many pedestal files as giving at least 1000 pedestal events which are nearby the first calibration run are used as pedestal runs - sponde: In the calculation of the collection area(s) and the distribution for MOnte Carlo and estimated energy the error calculation was wrong because root didn't take the errors properly into account... fixed. *** Version 0.10 (2006/10/10) - general: all executables now check consistency of the root version installed with the root version used for compilation. The return code in this case is 255. - general: The algorithm to build seqeunces has been redesigned completly. It is now more flexible in terms of a resource file resources/sequences.rc which can be used to partly overwrite the default algorithm and defined the important part of the algorithm. It also takes correctly into account several ways of taking wobble-data. Currently the new algorithm doesn't take the number of pedestal events anymore into account (so a sequence could have much less than 1000 pedestal events and data runs are no-more used instead) - general: a lot of small changes to make the code compatible with root 5.12/00 and gcc 4.1 - general: Fixed some warnings thrown if more warnings are switched on in the compiler - general: Added a function to MMath which returns the Median of the distribution abs(y[i]-median) but at 68:32 division instead of 50:50, which is somehow the median counterpart of the rms. - general: MAstroCatalog allows now to read calatog files (as bsc5) even if they are compressed with gzip (recommended compression is with "-1") - showplot: + batch mode creation of image files now works with root 5.12/00 + added support for writing bmp (though it never produces bmp which can be read by programs like xv or gimp) + added support for xml + added new option to start the display with a different size, by --display-width=nnn or --display-height=nnn + added options to define the canvas size when the display is started --canvas-width=nnn or --canvas-height=nnn the option can also be used for batch-mode conversion + added an option which automatically fits the display size to the desktop-size: --auto-size - merpp: didn't recognize files with the extension .raw.gz - fixed. - merpp: allow the reports to have 1000ms due to a bug in the camera program. - callisto: New swapped pixels have been found and corrected. For details see MRawRunHeader::FixAssignment() - callisto: Callisto now raises an error if one of the input files could not be opened. - callisto: In some rare cases it could happen that in the signal extraction of the digital filter the extractor returned nonsense results due a wrong initializion of a variable (this happens in cases in which the extracted signal is exactly zero or the digital filter couldn't slide because of a too small extraction window, which could happen in the lo-gain extraction) - callisto: The lo-gains have been marked as valid in some cases when they got not extracted at all (deltsumlo=deltatimelo=0) because the allowed extraction range (fLoGainLast-fLoGainFirst) was smaller than the number of slices (fLoGainWindowSize) needed by the lo-gain extractor - callisto: Updated absolute calibration constants (muon calibration) - callisto: fixed a bug which caused the hi-gain saturation not to be handled properly in the spline (the position of the saturation was calculated incorrectly) - callisto: fixed a bug which gave weird results if hi- _and_ lo-gain could not be extracted properly. In some cases hi- and lo-gain have not been extracted at all and the random result got calibrated. In other cases the hi-gain was saturating and the lo-gain has not been extracted. For this a completly arbitraty scale factor was applied to the result from extracting the charge of the saturating hi-gain. - callisto: improves handling of extracted signal if lo- and/or hi-gain could not be extracted properly. If no appropriate calibration of either the signal or the arrival time is possible the pixel is now markes as unsuitable instead of estimated. - callisto: Fixed a problem in the spline extraction which gave weird results if the signal was extracted from the first (and highest) slice (as a workaround extraction from the first slice has been forbidden) - callisto: Fixed a bug regarding the use of the QE which doesn't effect the result because the default is used anyhow. (The bug was there since 14/07/2005) - callisto: Changed the default for fgLoGainStartShift to -2.4 - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused all hi-/lo-gain calibration factors to be always 10 for all pixels as soon as the first calibration update has happend. - callisto: Fixed the hi-/lo-gain offset for the Digital Filter. It was off by more than one slice (which gives wrong values for pixels which have saturated the hi-gain) This was a problem mainly for timing studies, not so much for the automatic standard analysis. Also the values for the Spline have been changed slightly: + Digital Filter from 1.70 to 0.95 + Spline from 1.39 to 1.30 The numbers were sorted out by an extensive test in the test-database. - callisto: Removed the tab showing the average calibrated arrival time. It never gave useful information. - callisto: Now tab "HiLoCal" which shows the ratio between hi- and lo-gain pulse for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain have saturated and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above the LoGainSwitch. - callisto: Now tab "HiLoOff" which shows the offset between hi- and lo-gain pulse position (after application of LoGainOffset, which means in the ideal case it is 0) for data pulses if hi- and lo-gain have saturated and both were extracted because the hi-gain was above the LoGainSwitch. - callisto: After extensive tests a new threshold level for determination of the pulse position has been found at 50phe. This is due to the fact that for lower pulses the arrival time changes its average behaviour dramatically. It tends to the average of the extraction range and starts sticking to non-floating point numbers (5, 6, 7, ...) - callisto: Added two more plots to the calibration part. The average extracted signal and the average extracted arrival time as extracted by the signal extractor (This can help debugging problems because it doesn't involve a fit) - star: changed the fit for the effective on time such that initial values are calculated automatically now instead of using build in values. This makes the fit more indepedant of the underlaying rates. With a test of ~350 sequences in the test database it could be shown that the new fit gives the same result +/-1sek. The highest deviation was +5s the lowest -10s. You can now control the bahaviour with two resource values: MHEffectiveOnTime.FistBin: 3 MHEffectiveOnTime.NumEvents: 12000 Use FirstBin=1 and NumEvents=120 to fit the effective on time from the resulting gamma candidates - star: The Center histogram in MHHillas is now by default displayed with the colz draw-option - ganymed: now produces valid error codes if failed - ganymed: MFMagicCuts now supports a hadronness cut. Switch it on with the option "hadronness" instead of "area" or "both" if you want to use both cuts. The hadronness cut includes a fixed cut in hadronness (index 8) and a fixed cut in size (index 9). - ganymed: MFMagicCuts: fixed abug introduced 2005/7/14 which caused the M3Long of the anti source to be not properly evaluated (actually is was evaluated as a unique random number) in case of optimization with anti-theta cut switched on. This might have lead to improper, but not necessarily wrong, optimization results. - ganymed: ganymed_onoff.rc, ganymed_wobble.rc - updated with comments how to use random forest - ganymed: use the same spark cuts as in ganymed_wobble.rc as in ganymed_onoff.rc. Seems to be unintentional that they were different. - sponde: Since the introduction of the possibility to define a normalization energy instead of using the integral the default was not using the integral anymore but a normalization energy of 1GeV. It is now the integral again. - sponde: Fixed a problem in the weighting which did not allow a MC slope of -1. *** Version 0.9.6 (2006/05/24) - general: changed the binning of the azimuthal profile of the camera such that it is aligned with the 60deg boundaries. - merpp: better handling of problems with the TH, TD part of the CC-REPORT for files older than 200507190 and 200412210 respectively - merpp: improved handling of RECEIVERS-COM-ERROR in CC-REPORT - merpp: implementd latest changes in starguider reports (sinc 9th May) - callisto: if an arrival time is extracted outside the fadc range is was set to the boundary before. Now a random number is assigned instead to avoid unfortunate coincidences of arrival times just by this arbitrary value. - callisto: added a new option to callisto.rc which allows to set the maximum arrival time difference allowed for the badpixel algorithm to determin whether a pixels belongs to a shower: MJCalibrateSignal.MBadPixelsTreat.MaxArrivalTimeDiff: 0.9 - callisto: changed the old value (0.5) for MaxArrivalTimeDiff to 0.9 as suggested by Stefan due to a recent study on the fraction of pixels surviving the image cleaning - callisto: switched off error in case of "pulse is too much to the left" - callisto: The extraction window is not adapted anymore. This means that the pulse is extracted from the full range. The draw-back is that the background (pedestal) will become slightly higher. Switching on/off the PulsePosCheck in the callisto.rc only effects filling the histograms. WARNING: If the pulse is too much to the left data is calibrated! Check the PulsePosCheck-PulsePosition AND the Inhomogeneity parameter in the database to make sure that your data is valid! - star: Show also the number of stars correlated correctly by the starguider - ganymed: implemented a new class (MHThetaSqN) which allows to use more than one off-source region in wobble-mode. To use it add the following to your ganymed_wobble.rc: + MJCut.NameHist: MHThetaSqN (switch the new feature on) + MHThetaSqN.NumOffSourcePos: 3 (define number of off-regions) + MHThetaSqN.DoOffCut: Yes,No (switch on/off the off-cut) + Cut1.ThetaCut: None + MHThetaSqN.SignificanceCutLevel: 2.0 (increase off-cut by 2.0/1.7) - ganymed: in the case the latest report is older than a default (currently one minute) and the current report will be skip the starguider correction and calibration will be reset. The maximum age can be setup from ganymed.rc by (minutes): MPointingDevCalc.MaxAge: 1.5 - ganymed: A first implementation showing all size-bins for the theta-sq resp. alpha-plots in a single tab automatically *** Version 0.9.5.1 (2006/05/05) - general: Added a new option "zdiff" to the Makefile which runs "cvs diff" as "make diff" would do, but with compression - general: accelerated MTFillMatrix (used for eample in all training and optimization macros) by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20% - general: Added a missing feature in the MFilterList class which prevented MFEnergySlope from working correctly in trainenergy.C - general: Accelerated the random forest training and usage a bit - merpp: Adapted to new raw data file format version 6 - merpp: fixed a problem with reading the starguider reports after 6.3.2006 - callisto: At some times six pixels had to be exchanged manually in the data. If the pixels to be swaped are both not found, an error was raised and calibration was stopped. Now it is assumed they are intentially not mapped and the Error has been changed to a Warning. - star: Added new image cleaning based on the arrival time of the shower. The new cleaning can be accessed using the parameter "Time" instead of the the old one (like "Absolute) in the star.rc-file. Recommended parameters: + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel1: 8.2 + MImgCleanStd.CleanLevel2: 5 + MImgCleanStd.CleanRings: 2 + MImgCleanStd.KeepSinglePixels: No - star: Simplified the calculation of the effective on time. By letting the fit start in the third bin the result should become more stable. The fit quality is now ignored for the theta-plot which is not used in the analysis later. Still better pre-cut which, for example, remove events triggered by car-light (rate changing on a short time-scale) are missing. - macros: optimonoff.C, optimwobble.C: implemented a new strategy for optimization (kWeakSource) which is suggested by the Berlin people for weak sources. - macros: plotdb.C: + if no dataset and no time-interval is given only sequences with an effective on-time above five minutes are plotted anymore + added a new tab "RelTime" displaying the relative on-time (effective on-time divided by the observation time) - macros: optim*.C: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the optimization became a lot faster - ganymed: In the second loop the MHNewImagePar histograms disapeared. To display them just delete the pads displayed on top. - ganymed: fixed a bug which could cause strange behaviour in wobble mode if no starguider information was available due to an incorrect initialization of the starguider calibration - ganymed: The scale region in the False Source Plot (MHDisp) can now be changed from within the plot. It can also be setup from the resource file using: + MHDisp.fScaleMin: 0.325 + MHDisp.fScaleMax: 0.475 - ganymed, showplot: Fixed a problem with the fit to the off-data (HistOff) which could cause a time lag or an inifinite loop. The bug did not effect the results at all. - sponde: Added a new tab showing the effective collection area after trigger (including the software trigger) - sponde: MMcSpectrumWeight has a new option which allows to define the scaling factor not by the integral of the events but at a defined energy: e.g. MMcSpectrumWeight.NormEnergy: 200 - MTFillMatrix, sponde: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloops the loop could be accelerated by ~20% *** Version 0.9.5 (2006/03/13) - macros: fixed a typo optimwoble.C (SetThetaCut instead SetAlphaCut) and added the standard Disp-parametrization - macros: added a new macro datacenter/macros/plotstat.C allowing to plot statistics about the data processing - macros: added a new macro to plot the muon correction coefficients versus period (macros/plot/mucal.C) - showplot: path inflation for ganymed files was broken - callisto: Fixed an important bug. When the number of saturating pixels were calculated the bad pixel information already available from the calibration was ignored. This yields wrong values in case pixels are broken and saturate all the time or randomly. - callisto: Updated Muon calibration constants. Spline data now also uses different values for different periods - star: The time-evolution shown in the effective on-time plot now displays the axis range (if there are no holes it should be similar to the effective on-time) - star: Added two new image parameters: + MNewImagePar.fConcCOG: The ratio of the equivalent signals of the three pixels next to the center of gravity and the size + MNewImagePar.fConcCore: The ratio of the signals of all pixels inside or touching the ellipse and the size - ganymed: now stops in requested source isn't found in catalog file - ganymed: Many improvements to the phi-plot in wobble mode: + with a template the ideal background is displayed + a possible camera inhomogeneity is taken into account + the anti theta cut is better supported + the phi cut is automatically calculated from the theta cut See the examples in ganymed_wobble.rc for more details. - ganymed: fixed plot for E^2*dN/dE. The spectrum was multiplied with two times the bin-width instead of the absolute energy - ganymed: New cuts for on/off and wobble mode - ganymed: The smearing of the False Source plot has been increased to 0.06 - ganymed: The starguider calibration can now be changed from the resource file. See the examples in ganymed*.rc for more details. - ganymed: added a new option for on-/off-observations MJCut.RandomSourcePosition If switched on the distribution of observation time of the source position in the camera is calculated from the on-data and randomly applied with this distrbution to the off-data. - ganymed: by skipping some obsolete calles in the eventloop the first and second loop could be accelerated by ~20% - ganymed: The default in ganymed_onoff.rc is now to determin the source position in the off-data randomly according to its distribution in the on-data. *** Version 0.9.4.3 (2006/02/13) - general: Fixed a bug in most of the programs which prevented the compile date in the startup message to be displayed - general: Simplified program calls. The following abbreviations are now possible: showlog callisto 55599 showplot signal 55599 star 55599 callisto 55999 ganymed 2 In this cases the corrsponding root-, log-, sequence- or dataset- filename is automatically compiled using the default datacenter paths ("/magic/*") - general: Fixed a long outstanding bug which made axis tick marks disappear if MDataFormula was used (eg. abs(x)) - general: Updated MMath with new functions to calculate the results of a exponential, logarithmic and powerlaw fits analytically. - general: Updated some macros with comments: + macros/optim/optimdisp.C + macros/optim/optimenergy.C + macros/optim/optimwobble.C: - general: MTFillMatrix (the class to fill one or two MHMatrix from files) now allows adding a pre-cut like in the optimization. E.g. this is useful to perform g/h-separation cuts before training the random forest. - general: Between the rund 53300 and 68754 the pixels 553-558 were not correctly assigned in the raw data assignement table. A fix to correct the assignment tabel have been implemented. - general: MAstroCatalog now allows rotating of the sky-grid and stars by 90, 180 and 270 deg. - general: the macro plotdb.C now allows to highlight sequences belonging to a datset. For more details see the descritions in the macro. - StatusDisplay: Fixed the algorithm to calculate the size ratio of the display, it gave wrong results espacially for big sizes. Now the embedded canvas should always have a ratio width/height=3/2. The "Size" options have been updated with values fitting the 3/2 size ratio. - RanForest: + Updated the random forest classes to support also the regression method implemented by Thomas H. + added new tutorial macro how to train the random forest for energy estimation (macros/optim/rfenergyest.C) + new classes to train the random forest (still in development) mjtrain/MJTrainEnergy, mjtrain/MJTrainDisp, mjtrain/MJTrainSeparation + new tutorial macros for random forest training in macros/train trainenergy.C, traindisp.C, trainseparation.C - mars: now allows to setup a cut in the resource file mars.rc to choose the events to be displayed, eg: Cut.Condition: {0} && {1} Cut.0: MHillas.fSize>100 Cut.1: MHillas.fSize<900 - merpp: Made aware of the new .rep format 200510250. This includes interpretation of the Receiver Board Temperatures (MCameraRecTemp), the discriminator thresholds (MCameraTD) and the disciminator delays (MCameraTD). All of them come with the CC report and are therefor written to the CC tree. - callisto: fixed a bug in the calculation of the arrival times in the Digital Filter. They were all shifted by the same amount fHiGainFirst. This caused an offset in the order of the position of the left border of the extraction window in the times calculated from high-gain and from low-gain. The bug effected only the absolute arrival times. The bug was there since 30.1.2005. - callisto: Changed the ExtractionWindow for the pulse position check such that the camera inhomogeneity becomes as less as possible and comparable to the pulso position check switched off. More details on the study will be given at our result web-page. - ganymed: ganymed.rc, ganymed_onoff.rc: changed to new cuts trained with 1ES1218 and Crab-data for maximum sigma*log10(excess) - ganymed: In addition to the Hadronness calculator (CalcHadronness) a new option was implemented to estimate Disp (CalcDisp) - ganymed: Implemented two new options which allow to overwrite the default path to search for the sequence files --ins=/magic/sequences and where to search for the image data --ind=/magic/data/star - ganymed: MSrcPosCorrect now allows overwriting of the misfocussing dx/dy from the resource file by MSrcPosCorrect.Dx MSrcPosCorrect.Dy - ganymed: fixed reading the source catalog. Only as many chars as the requested source name had were compared (If a source "1ES1218" and "1ES1218+304" were in the catalog and "1ES1218+304" were requested it could happen that the coordinates of "1ES1218" were read) The source coordinates are now printed in addition to its name to the logging output. - ganymed: changed the background fit in the case of a ThetaSq function from a polynomial to a exponential, this should give a big improvement for on-only analysis' - ganymed/sponde: Calculation of the error of single size-/energy- bins now uses Li/Ma (5) instead of LiMa (17) - sponde: Added a plot E^2*dN/dE - sponde: The energy estimator plot should now show values like they are commonly used. - sponde: Now MMcSpectrumWeight also excepts formulas with two X (a powerlaw with cutoff didn't work before) *** Version 0.9.4.2 (2005/10/01) - general: added new tutorial macro macros/tutorials/threshold.C: how to calculate the threshold - general: added a new game. Start it from the interpreter with MagicJam j; (other games are: MineSweeper, MagicSnake, MagicDomino and MagicReversi) - general: neighbor pixels in MGeoms are now sorted clockwise - merpp: made aware of new format 20050829-0 - callisto: New scale factors from muon analysis, stored in new resource file resources/calibration.rc - callisto: MBadPixelsCalc now raises an error instead of simply stopping the eventloop if something went wrong. This is necessary for the automatic processing - callisto: Implemented a new treatment for the time information developed by S.Ruegamer, this should give much better response than the old very primitive algorithm. This is especially important for bad pixels due to bright stars as Ceta-Tauri (btw: the old treatment was buggy! As neighbor pixels to interpolate the arrival times always the pixels 0 to 5 were taken) - callisto: In addition to the new treatment of arrival times the decision of the treatment whether a pixel contains shower information or not is used to improve the signal interpolation further. Previously interpolated pixels showed a non-zero signal do the peak searching signal extractors. Having a signal pixel beside raised the signal above the cleaning level. Thus the pixel survived cleaning to often but with a too low mean signal. By replacing empty pixels with a gaus (mean and rms from the corresponding Area entries in MPedPhotCam) this effect can be supressed. - callisto: The status "unmapped" (for pixel which cannot be interpolated) got lost when the events were stored by the calibration... fixed. (This was no problem for normal image cleaning because the pixel content was artificially set to 0 not surviving standard cleaning algorithm) - callisto: Fixed a bug which caused the random and peak-search pedestal extracted with an extractor to be exchanged for the first (roughly) 500 events (*Extractor and *ExtractorRndm). (They were simply exchanged in callisto.cc) This bug might have been introduced in Mars 0.9.4 when the order of calculation of the two types of pedestal in callisto got exchanged. The bug only effects the first seconds of data of each sequence. - star: Taking the arrival time of Muons into account the calculation of the parameters could be made independant of the noise (pedestal rms). The dependance was due to the bias of the peak search extractor. Now only a ZA dependamcy is left which is not yet fully understood. - ganymed: The sequences were still not sorted correctly in any case, because they were sorted by the full qualified path name. Now they are sorted by their sequence number. - ganymed: new values for the spark-event-cut - sponde: required missing MEnergyEst from ganymed.root... fixed. *** Version 0.9.4.1 (2005/08/18) - callisto: fixed some problems with the calibration in case of inteleaved events. Therefor the final and some intermediate fits are skipped which would take place on partly filled # histograms and gave wrong results or failed completely. - callisto: If the intermediate finalization of the histograms calculating the mean charge of the calibration signal fails it is counted now and printed in PostProcess of MCalibCalcFromPast. - ganymed: Fixed some bugs which caused problems in On-only mode. Still the false source plot doesn't give reasonable results. *** Version 0.9.4 (2005/08/05) - general: Fixed the ZA binning. It did not correctly fit the MC binning - general: Added a class to correct for the missfocussing in April (MSrcPosCorrect) - general: Random Forest energy estimator should now work properly - general: MHCamera now displays the profiles in deg instead of mm - general: MH::SetPalette offers a lot of new palettes - general: MHillas - the case of CorrXY==0 is now handled properly - general: implemented the possibility to change the line and marker style of a sky-grid drawn by MAstroCatalog - general: Runs in sequences and datasets are now automatically ordered (it is assumed that the order of their filenames correctly represents the order of observations) to ensure correct reading of the subsystem data - general: Runs cannot be added to a sequence twice anymore. Also Sequences cannot be added twice anymore to a dataset. - general: fixed a bug in MAstro::Deg2Hms reported by Abelardo. It gave wrong results by 1./2pi - showplot: got a new option to start a root interpreter, too - mars: now displays a rough estimate of Disp and the third moment - mars: now displays the event time MTime if available - mars: show muon parameters graphically - mars: now the file to open can be given as commandline argument - merpp: Added support for new arehucas version >= 200507190 implementing values for three temperature sensors in the counting house (MCameraAUX) and the name of the HV settings file (MCameraHV). - merrp: Also fixed some problems with wrong versions numbers stated by arehucas and implemented some fixed for old versions (<200407070) - callisto: MCalibrationHiLoCam can now be printed from its context menu, eg in the TBrowser - callisto: fixed logain offset (fgOffsetLoGain) from 1.7 to - 1.39 (MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline) - 1.40 (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter) This is important mainly for timing studies. - callisto: Changed limits in MHCalibrationChargeCalc from - -100.125 to -98 (fgChargeHiGainFirst) - 1899.875 to 1902. (fgChargeHiGainLast) - -100.25 to -99 (fgChargeLoGainFirst) - 899.75 to 901. (fgChargeLoGainLast) Introduced new limits: - fgNumLoGainBlackoutLimit: 0.05 - fgLoGainBlackoutLimit: 3.5 - fgLoGainPickupLimit: 3.5 - callisto: The handling of automatic weights for the digital filter has been improved. There are now new calibration weights special for Monte Carlo calibrations. - callisto: Updated Muon scale with latest results (1% difference for most data, 5% for Mar/Apr'05) - callisto: use a new criterium to exclude bad pixels: If the high-gain was saturated and the blackout-events in the low-gain exceed the fNumLoGainBlackoutLimit, the pixel is declared unsuitable. This excludes those pixels which have a saturating high-gain channel, but the low-gain switch does not switch often enough to make the distribution reliable. - callisto: fix a bug counting the number of saturated events. Up to now, the number of saturated slices was counted (which is one for a not too high number), but for some (pathological) pixels, many more slices saturated and produced wrong limits. - callisto: New options in in callisto.rc for MCalibrationRelTimeCalc: + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckFitResults: Yes + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckDeviatingBehavior: Yes + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckHistOverflow: Yes + MCalibrationRelTimeCam.CheckOscillations: Yes - callisto: introduce max. number of events for intercalibration, the rest gets skipped. Default: 4096 The calibration causes too many un-reliable pixels if more than about 5000 events are treated (@500 Hz) because of the mode hopping of the VCSels. However, in the past, some calibration runs have been taken (erroneously) with more than 5000 events, especially the intensity scans where a good precision is needed. - callisto: Set UseExtractorRes to kTRUE, will raise the number of photo-electrons for the spline extractor by 1-2% (correctly). - callisto: The intercalibration is now done using a full f-factor method instead of a simple update. This makes things slower but more reliable in terms of gain-fluctuations and sudden VCSEL gain changes. - callisto: MPedestalY3 now uses the same extraction range as the data as calculated by MPedestalY2 - callisto: A check of the fraction of allowed unsuitable (10%) and unreliable (30%) pixels has been addded when the conversion is calculated from interleaved events - star: fixed a bug which caused MEffectiveOnTime containers not to be written. In the worst case they were skipped almost all, in the best case they were all ok. It depends on how often the new value was assigned just with an event which was skipped later by another task - star: new histograms MHPointing and MHRate - star: New tab (Currents) displaying the time evolution of the mean DC currents - star: New tab (MeanRms) displaying the time volution of the mean Pedestal Rms - star: Output now contains MReportStarguider - star: Improved muon analysis. Due to the absense of a constant for the gaus fit for arc width and the fact that the arcwidth plot was a histogram instead of a profile the resulting psf became pedestal rms dependant - ganymed: added new plot (MHPhi) for wobble mode as described in http://www.astro.uni-wuerzburg.de/results/ringmethod/ - ganymed: corrects now (correctly?) for the misspointing in May/April 05 - ganymed: Two new default templates for ganymed.rc are avilable: ganymed_onoff.rc and ganymed_wobble.rc - ganymed: The first version of MFMagicCuts has been released - ganymed: the Conc1 plot was incorrectly scaled in MHVsSize - ganymed, sponde: There are two new options to determin the number of bins for the signal region (NumBinsSignal) and the number of total bins (NumBinsTotal) in the MHThetaSq histogram - ganymed: optimized palettes for MHDisp - ganymed: Fixed an important bug when using ThetaSq as fit function: The result for the sigma of the gauss(sqrt(x)) fit was a factor sqrt(2) to large - ganymed: The false source plot (MHDisp) is now based on Disp and a background model determined in the first loop is subtracted - ganymed: MFMagicCuts are now available in the cvs. The correct solution for the disp ambiguity problem is now calculated using the third moment. The third moment cut therefor is skipped. - ganymed: Output now contains "Disp [MParameterD]" which sign is already determined by the third moment along the major axis and so its actual sign is aligned along the major axis of the shower. - ganymed: If starguider data is available it is taken into account when calculating the source position. This is especially important for wobble data at high zenith angles and culmination data. - ganymed: If available the starguider data is taken into account as good as it is possible without a starguider calibration. To switch it off add MPointingDevCalc.MaxAbsDev: -1 to your ganymed.rc - sponde: the zenith angle distribution is now weighted instead of choosen by default. This gurantees higher statistics in the highest and lowest energy bins. To switch this behaviour off use... - sponde: now automatically displays the energy threshold *** Version 0.9.3 (2005/06/03) - general: MMcEvt now derived from MMcEvtBasic which should have no influence on compatibility with older camera files - general: Implemented a new option to MReadReports which allows to force reading of the first event of some trees (eg. Drive-tree) before any other tree. - general: Made a fix to MPointingPosCalc which assumes that the run-type is real-data if Process is called before ReInit, such that also the very first Drive-events in a run are treated correctly. - shoplot now displays the filename in the title bar of the window - merpp: new options: --auto-time-start --auto-time-stop which allow to cut updating with slow-control at the start- or (previousle --auto-time only allowed: and) stop-time of the run stored in the runheader. - callisto: changed default of fgFallTimeHiGain in MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline from 1.5 to 0.5. 0.5 was already set as default in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc - callisto: the digital filter (MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter) now changes the filename for new weights automatically for cosmics, MC and for different calibration colors. - callisto: a problem with the order of some code cause the name of the weights file in MPedestalY2 to be ignored. Wrongly the calibration_UV weights were used instead of the cosmics weights set in callisto.rc. - callisto: should allow ct1 pulser data when the color is explicitly set also for pretty new runs - callisto: a new option (MCalibrateData.ScaleFactor) allows to introduce an additional scale factor (should be around 1) to adapt for slight deviations in different extractors from the MC calibration. For MC calibrations the scale factor is fixed to 1 - callisto: MFCosmics should handle very high signals a bit more accurate now - callisto: when calculating the mean pedestal rms for different pixel sizes or sectors also kUnsuitableEvt is now taken into account - not only kUnsuitableRun - callisto: '-raw' option is now the default - callisto: A dead pixel check has been implemented in MJPedestalC2. This has the advantage that mean values in the calibration (eg arrival times) are calculated more accuratly. - callisto: In the resource file callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc MJPedestalY2.ExtractWinRight has been reduced from 4.0 to 2.0 - callisto: new Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration constants hilocalib_sp1.root and hilocalib_sp1_mc.root - callisto: changed default for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 like in callisto_Dec04Jan05.txt - callisto: in MCalibrationChargeCalc the limit fgPheErrLowerLimit has changed from 9.0 to 6.0. This is necessary to exclude two very ringing pixels in September which - when kept - destroy the image cleaning around them (Markus G.) - callisto: (!) The Muon analysis of all data taken so far has suggested that different extractors give slightly different absolute results after calibration, due to there different handling of the calibration- and cosmics pulse shape. Although the over all calibration seems to be a bit to pesimistic (or the MC seems to be a little bit - 3-5% - too much attenuated). There for correction factors have been introduced which correct the calibration constants by 0.956937799 for Digital Filter (callisto.rc) and 0.904159132 for Spline (callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc) calibration. The main advantage is, that both data types can be easily analysed together and compared to the same MC sample. The factors are choosen such, that the reference is now a Monte Carlo sample calibrated with Digital Filter (callisto.rc) - star: fixed a bug which caused the first bin of the histograms vs time to disapear in PostProcess. This gave wrong results on the screen. The output and all following programs not directly accessing the histograms haven't been affected - star, ganymed: Made sure that always the first Drive-tree event is read and Processed before the first data event was read. - ganymed: implemented the possibility to replace the standard false source plot with a different one. For example: If you want to use a Disp based FS plot use the resource: NameHistFS: MHDisp For details about the requirements of these plots look at the corresponding classes - MJOptimize: For On/Off and Wobble optimization MJOptimize has been replaced by MJOptimizeCuts. To use MHThetaSq instead of MHAlpha call MJOptimizeCuts("MHThetaSq"). Make sure in this case MAlphaFitter is setup correctly. For On-Only optimization MJOptimize has been Replaced by MJOptimizeCuts, too. Call RunOn() instead of Run(). For energy estimation MJOptimize has been replaced by MJOptimizeEnergy - sponde: The input MC spectrum can now be weighted to fake a different spectrum. This is done via MMcSpectrumWeight. For more details see the class description and sponde.rc - sponde: The paremeter comparsion plots are not scaled by their entries anymore. Instead the MC plot is scaled by using the result spectrum of the analysis. If the input MC spectrum and the result spectrum has different slopes the absolut normalization is normally wrong. *** Version 0.9.2 (2005/05/20) - general: Changed the default paths for calibrated data and image files. (The implemented access to these files doesn't yet exist) - general: support for MRunIter has been removed from the job classes (use the setter functions of MSeqeunce instead) - general: ProcessFile has been renamed to Process in all job classes, because ProcessFile is missleading - general: The storage of the palette in MHCamera is now possible - general: new bits describing unsuitable and unreliable pixels have been introduced in MBadPixelsPix: kPreviouslyExcluded, kDeadPedestalRms, kFluctuatingArrivalTimes - general: fixed reading of CC-REPORTS (weather data) for Arehucas file versions newer than V200404070 - general: support for cc file versions newer than V200504130. Added support for active loads (MCameraActiveLoad) and central pixel (MCameraCentralPixel) - general: added new histograms for image parameters versus size (MHVsSize) - general: The eventloop now automatically calls PrintStatistics - Status Display: Improved support for printing: + A default can now be set in .rootrc (for more details see MStatusDisplay::PrintPS) + A print dialog is opened so that printer and command line can be canged - showlog: improved such that it handles different verbosity levels more accurate now. This mean you can suppress output when using showlog. - showplot: improved + The new graphics formats have been implemented (pdf, svg, png, jpg and xpm) + Implemented an interface for printing. Because you can change the printing command from the command line you can use all the nice postscript tool. To print a booklet for example call: showplot -b --print --print-cmd="cat %f" filename.root | lpr showplot -b --print --print-cmd="psbook %f | psnup -2 | lpr" filename.root showplot -b --null --print --print-cmd="psbook %f" filename.root > book.ps - callisto: fixed a bug in the recognition of the calibration bit pattern. Concerns only intensity calibration. (The strength of the intensity has been updated in some cases) - callisto: add a filter against PIN Diode events when running over calibration runs since some of the recent calibration runs have been taken with Pin Diode. - callisto: added support for the runs 39942, 39944, 44834, 39941, 39943, 44833 in the calibration (MCalibColorSet) - callisto: MJCalibration.MHCalibrationChargeCam.ProbLimit has been set to 1e-18 in callisto_Dec04_Jan05.rc - callisto: in callisto_Dec04Jan05.rc: set value for MJPedestalY2.MaxEvents from 2000 to 5000 to get better statistics for the calculation of the mean pulse time of the cosmisc - callisto: the charge limit in the calibration has been raised from 2.5 to 4.5 - callisto: new setup read from callisto.rc + MCalibCalcFromPast.fNumEventsDump + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumHiGainSaturationLimit + MHCalibrationChargeCam.NumLoGainSaturationLimit - callisto: MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline extractor: + The integration ranges were shifted by 0.2 FADC slices to the right. + unreliable handling of floating point values caused different results on different platform or with different compiler options: The new algorithm is numerically exact and more accurate because it doesn't calculate the integration position by multiple times adding the step-size (which results in numerical uncertanties exspecially if multiplied with large numbers) + A lot of fixes have been introduced which effects integrating the spline at the edges of the valid range. In this case any memory was randomly accessed. This behaviour can be tested replacing all MArrayF by TArrayF which perform a range check (but of course they are a lot slower) ! No result obtained with the Spline before can be trusted! Due to random memory access it might by completely random! - callisto: set new defaults in MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter: + extraction range in the high gain to 4. + weights file to cosmics_weights46.dat - callisto: + introduce the check for fluctuating arrival times. + set charge limit to from 2.5 to 4.5 + introduce asymmetric exclusion due to "deviating number of phes": Default: -9.0 +4.5 + make deviating number of phes unsuitable (see David's findings). - callisto: fixed the display of unsuitable pixels. The old change to a real profile in MHCamera broke it. - callisto: The cosmics filter is used in MJCalibration now independant of the pulser color (formaly it was used only for CT1-pulser data). The threshold of number of max empty pixels has been raised from 2% to 5% in MJCalibration. The maximum fraction of rejected event is 50% otherwise the calibration has failed. The filter now ignores unsuitable pixels. Setup the filter from callisto.rc using "ContCosmics" (see MFCosmics::ReadEnv) - callisto: changed default for fgOffsetFromLogain back from -2.8 to -1.8 in digital filter. - callisto: for the common extractors + MExtractFixedWindow * MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow * MExtractTimeAndChargeSpline * MExtractTimeAndChargeDigitalFilter the hi- and lo-gain reolution is stored in fResolutionPerPheHiGain and fResolutionPerPheLoGain - callisto: Updated the hi-/lo-gain intercalibration constants hilocalib_sp1.root, hilocalib_df46_mc.root, hilocalib_df4.root, hilocalib_df6.root - callisto: The default lo-gain extraction window for the MExtractTimeAndChargeSlidingWindow extractor has been increased from 6 to 8 to take the stretch of the pusle into account - callisto (!!!): fixed an important bug in the setting of the incoming pedestal pointer to the signal extractor extracting pedestals. This bug caused the pedestals not to be subtracted correctly in the calibration afterwards. The effect was about 10% too high conversion factors for the digital filter and the spline and more than 40% for the sliding window. The bug existed since end of February! (Markus G.) - star: added muon support to star. A new tab "MHMuonPar" is displayed. The lower right plot is an estimate of the point spread function. A reference value is displayed. To get the real PSF you must compare with MC. The setup for the muon analysis is done in star.rc. More informations can be found in MHSingleMuon and MHCalibParCalc - star: The weather data is now displayed in star - star: MEventRateCalc handles the calculation of the event rate more accurate now in case of the start of a new run inside a sequence - ganymed: a bug in MSrcPosCalc has been fixed (The changes were taken from a bugfix of Wolfgang to Loc0LocToCam; Wolfgang: the results are changed only minimally - ganymed: (MJCut and MJOptimize) now displayes the number of excess events versus size. The energy estimation is done in MJSpectrum (sponde) - ganymed: got support for using other variables than Alpha, eg. Theta. Therefor you need a class deriving from MHAlpha which supports this variable (one is already existing: MHTheta, which is now the default in ganymed). It is setup through ganymed.rc - added a full featured spectrum program (sponde) which reads ganymed output and monte carlos and compiles a spectrum *** Version 0.9.1 (2005/04/14) - Fix bug on the arrival time reconstruction when using Digital Filter (in some marginal cases (10%) times were reconstructed shifted by 0.2 slices) - all executables now return 2 where in previous versions -1 has been returned (gave problems with shell-scripts) - the Hi-/Lo-Gain intercalibration for monte carlo files is now also done with a intercalibration input file - a bug in the time fine adjustment of the digital filter has been fixed - a lot of small fixes to calling TPad::Divide with a margin==0 - MStatusDisplay now shows the memory usage - added a memory leak statistic after the eventloop - MHadronness replaced by MParameterD - MEnergyEst replaced by MParameterD - wobble mode can now be switched on from the data-set - switched on bad pixel detection for a pedestal level which is more than 5 times the variance - Fixed default paths to be correct for the new data center - Fixed handling of drive data.
