Changes Between Versions 6.4.2 and 6.4.3

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

subs/aspecting - version 1.2 to 1.3
Straightened out galactic longitude and latitude.
subs/telemetry - version 1.1 to 1.2
Supplied missing "OBJECT" keyword name in add_fits_keyword call when OBJECT keyword is not present in the telemetry file. 3/18/97 Modified so that it uses $UTIL/read_bintable. Also added a check for whether the telemetry file timespan is covered by the corresponding attitude file. If not, trim the telemetry file to make it fit, and issue an exception.
subs/readfrfs - version 1.1 to 1.2
Uncommented the ALLGTI generating code. Changed name of frame mode files to avoid problems later.
subs/combine - version 1.5 to 1.6
Now adds ORIGMODE keyword to all eventfiles. This is to later distinguish on-board- and ground-converted BRIGHT mode files.
subs/screen - version 1.4 to 1.5
Removed code which extracts calsource spectra, since these are now generated in the calsource routine.
subs/images - version 1.4 to 1.5
Now ignores event files which have ontime less than a tolerance. This is to avoid large regions of very short exposure time which can screw up exposure-corrected images and source detection. Note: This is only done for SIS event files.
subs/header - version 1.1 to 1.2
Now rounds duration to nearest tenth of a kilosecond. 3/17/97 Straightened out galactic longitude and latitude.
subs/wrapup - version 1.3 to 1.4
Now re-saves the jobpar at the end of this routine. Previously the job par was saved in $SUBS/filelists. It is still saved there so that it can be included in the list, but it is re-saved here so that keywords added after $SUBS/filelists are also saved.
subs/filelists - version 2.0 to 2.1
Removed a problem, where files with the same description were getting listed separately in the HTML list, by removing whitespace around the description.
subs/eventinfo - version 1.2 to 1.3
Added a check for consistency between evt time and isas_time.
subs/spectra - version 1.3 to 1.4
Put "ignore bad" into spectrum plotting to avoid excessive ink for leftover, ungrouped channels.
subs/lightcurves - version 1.0 to 1.1
Now extracts with exposure=0.5 instead of 1.0. Changed the filename at the top of the plot to the lightcurve file name. Commented out deadtime correction, since most of the time it doesn't work.
subs/rev1trend - version 1.6 to 1.7
subs/calsource - version 0.0 (new)
util/any_filename - version 1.4 to 1.5
Added "frame" as a special case. Corrected typo of "channel" to "nchannels" for rmf when getting name of GIS3 rmf with 128 channels.
util/generate_filename - version 1.8 to 1.9
Changed "calsource" to accomodate merged cal source spectra by taking bitrate out of name. Added "calsourceplot". 2/25/97 Modified "rmf" to accomodate calsource rmfs.
lists/file_classes - version 1.4 to 1.5
Began releasing calsource and calsourceplots.
process.par - version 1.2 to 1.3
Changed FTOOLS version to 3.6.b 2/26/97 Updated GIS region filters to .2 versions, which contain values suggested by Ken Ebisawa. The .1 versions had an incorrect location for the GIS3 calibration source. Changed to stools.3.1 . Changed to temp2gain v4.2 . Increased minpievents from 100 to 500. Updated to new sisph2pi file. Added calpeaktoll, frftimetoll, minexpotime.
