Changes Between Versions 7.0.2 and 7.1.0
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/screen - version 2.1 to 3.0
Moved cleaning to occur after filtering. For the SIS this is the
correct way to do things, because some of the spurious, filtered out
events may have been causing cleansis to mark out some pixels which
weren't really bad. For some reason things had always been done
in the other order in the past, but that was incorrect.
7/15/97
Added an explicit check that NAXIS2 = NEVENTS in the filtered files.
This is to compensate for a bug in gisclean which does not do this,
at least in FTOOLS 4.0. The problem became apparent when the gisclean
run was moved to occur after the extractor run.
- subs/fixthings - version 1.0 to 1.1
Switched to using the new utility version of fast4fix instead
of the old STOOL version.
7/15/97
Now removes fcalc.par after gis3bitfix run.
- subs/earthevents - version 1.3 to 2.0
Moved cleaning to occur after selection.
- subs/eventinfo - version 1.6 to 2.0
Rewrote the script to use the get_uniq_keys STOOL instead of
reading all of the keywords in the script. Also, rearranged things
so that the times and events in each event file are read only
once. All this should make this subroutine run much faster.
The only noticable difference in the output is that the keywords
listed will also give the Comments in the FITS header for each
keyword.
Also reformatted the keyword list as an HTML table.
- subs/spectra - version 2.3 to 2.4
Now skips spectra for BRIGHT mode files with split threshold
not equal to 40. This is becuase the ecd calibration files
for SPLIT=20 do not cover bright mode. The theory (according to
Geoff Crew) is that people would only want split=20 to get higher
spectral resolution, in which case they will also use BRIGHT2 mode.
- subs/linearize - version 1.1 to 1.2
Now just renames files for which ascascreen has an error.
This has the same effect as removing the file, but makes
debugging easier.
- subs/images - version 1.8 to 1.9
Added a check for exposure maps <60 seconds. Ximage can't handle
such sort exposures, so no GIF is produced for them.
- subs/lightcurves - version 1.4 to 1.5
Fixed a bug that caused minbinsize to not be calculated correctly.
Also, changed the logging in the part of the code which calculates
minbinsize.
- subs/sources - version 1.8 to 1.9
Fixed a problem with source-zero region files when there are
no detected sources. Previously the size of the extraction box
was only half as large as it was supposed to be due to a
misinterpretation of the region syntax.
- util/fast4fix - version 0.0 (new)
- util/any_filename - version 1.8 to 1.9
Now includes split threshold=20 in ecdata possibilities.
- lists/sis_spectra_keys - version 0.0 to 1.0
