Changes Between Versions 6.4.1 and 6.4.2
This page lists the detailed changes made in all of the
processing scripts.
The script names are linked to a description of the
current version of each script
- util/xselect_test - version 1.3 to 1.4
Put back a rm -f *_xsel.run to compensate for the last change.
2/6/97 Now ignores code 1 and code 246. Also began handling stderr
through the call to ftool_test after removing "rm -f" lines.
- util/generate_filename - version 1.7 to 1.8
Added $indx to file names for "totexpo", "totsky", "corimg",
"smooth".
Changed format for "gif", "sourcepic", "sourceregion", and
"backblank".
Index is now forced to be a three-digit number, and padded with
leading zeros if it isn't.
2/6/97 Modified "rmf" so that source is in the source slot,
not the index slot.
Changed the extension on "srcevents" from ".xtr" to ".ulc".
2/7/97 Added "sourceinfo".
2/18/97 Changed "rmf" to accomodate different numbers of
PHA channels by reading NAXIS2 from the corresponding
spectrum file.
- util/read_parfile - version 0.0 to 1.0
Rewrote the error checking part to cope with situations
where the job.par exists but is unreadable, without going into an
infinite loop.
- util/parse_filename - version 1.0 to 1.1
Now able to handle three character instrument names
(e.g. sis, gis).
- util/any_filename - version 1.3 to 1.4
Added rmf as a special case to accomodate differing numbers of
GIS PHA channels.
- util/gti_merge - version 0.0 (new)
- subs/readfrfs - version 1.0 to 1.1
Changed frfread errors to level 2, now that they are less common.
Moved check for zero TSTARTS and TSTOPS in HK files to appear
immediately after frfread run.
Added code to append ALLGTI extensions to the instrument HK files.
Updated the description above.
2/15/97 Removed ALLGTI generating code until it has GOF approval.
2/17/97 Added code to save FRAME mode data for possible use
in RDD correction.
2/18/97 Now reads ra and dec directly from job.par.
- subs/telemetry - version 1.0 to 1.1
Changed "%keyword" to "$keyword" in SEQNUM check exception call.
Now only checks time order for telemetry files, since this
will be checked with the fixatt tool in aspecting.
- subs/aspecting - version 1.1 to 1.2
Now runs fixatt tool on the attitude file to add keywords to the
primary header, delete records which are out of time order,
and interpolate large pointing jumps between records,
for the benefit of ascaexpo.
- subs/combine - version 1.4 to 1.5
Added a check to see if there are any scraps files to tar before
trying to tar them. Also fixed bad syntax in the exception call
for the tar.
2/5/97 Added a log entry giving the file names of the merged
event files.
- subs/images - version 1.3 to 1.4
GIF format image from ximage is now exposure-corrected.
2/5/97 Changed from floatadd to equals STOOLS.
Added some quotes to add_fits_keyword calls.
- subs/sources - version 1.2 to 1.3
Supplied a missing "let" when calculating the default extraction
radius for gis data. This resulted in gis sources with the
default radius being dropped. Also deleted a few unused reads from
the parfile.
1/28/97 Supplied code for the background region file in the case
where there are no foreground sources. Also added comments to the
top of each region file.
2/4/97 Modified the source catalog format.
2/7/97 Began adding the same keywords to the sourcecat as to the
last smoothed image.
- subs/eventinfo - version 1.1. to 1.2
- subs/header - version 1.0 to 1.1
Converted from float... STOOLS to equals.
Now explicitly states the processing revision number after the
script version number.
Now reads observation coordinates directly from job.par instead
of recalculating them from the Euler angles.
2/20/97 Duration now given in kiloseconds.
- subs/rev1trend - version 1.5 to 1.6
- subs/spectra - version 1.2 to 1.3
Fixed the generate_filename call for rmf so that the source is
in the source slot, not the index slot.
2/15/97 Corrected problem with index variable and with RMF
files not being cleared out before they are created.
2/17/97 Corrected a bug where rmfs for individual chips were being
generated using the spectra for the entire source instead of
the individual chip.
Also corrected a bug "$events${chip}.tmp" to "events${chip}.tmp"
when removing event lists with no events. This was
leaving behind temporary files.
2/18/97 Changed generate_filename call for GIS RMFs to accomodate
different numbers of PHA bins.
2/19/97 xspec was hanging because of a mis-match in binning
between SIS spectra and RMFs.
This was caused by extracting spectra from
individual chips with "group=no". Changed this to "group=yes".
Filled out the description above.
- subs/wrapup - version 1.2 to 1.3
Corrected the typo "usppiname", which caused the USPINAME keywords
to be blank. Also supplied missing "$" for jppinum != 0 test.
- subs/lightcurves - version 0.0 to 1.0
Now removes lightcurves with fewer than 5 bins.
Fleshed out the description.
Modified ghkcurve portion to use the new gti_merge utility.
- lists/file_classes - version 1.3 to 1.4
Started to release sourceregion and sourcecat files
added sourceinfo file, and moved several trend products to
rev2 directories.
2/16/97 No longer send header to science_times.
No longer save parfile as a trend file.
Changed description of srcevents to "Unbinned light curve".
- process - version 1.4 to 1.5
Added sourceinfo routine.
- process.par - version 1.1 to 1.2
Changed meanperlcbin from 10 to 50
1/27/97 Changed to stools 3.0
Changed GIS RMF entries to accomodate differing numbers of
PHA channels.
