Changes Between Versions 7.2.3 and 7.2.4
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/linearize - version 1.5 to 1.6
Changed "column" to "columns" in fmemsort to accomodate FTOOLS 4.1
Also, now code handles both gzipped and compressed telemetry and
attitude files.
Added code to calculate Eric Gothelf's attitude corrections
and store the results in the job par file.
- subs/eventinfo - version 2.4 to 2.5
Now missing time warnings are only given if the "ISAS time" is
greater than 10 kiloseconds
- subs/screen - version 4.0 to 4.1
Deleted the ASCA_mkf_def_expr parameter in the select mkf command
in the xselect command files. This is to accomodate
FTOOLS 4.1. The parameter name has changed and using the old
parameter name causes xselect to not do any time filtering.
Also added a "save events" command for FAST mode data. This
had been left out so that screened FAST mode event file
were not being produced.
Also removed the "yes" in response to the "switch to PHA"
message from xselect. This is no longer needed in FTOOLS 4.1
- subs/earthevents - version 2.0 to 2.1
deleted the ASCA_mkf_def_expr=ft*.mkf parameter from the xselect
select mkf command. This is to accomodate FTOOLS 4.1 where
this parameter is no longer recognized and is now an error.
- subs/images - version 2.2 to 2.3
Now skip making exposure maps and images for FAST mode files.
Previously a bug elsewhere kept FASt mode filtered event files
from being produced. Also explicitly skip MOC mode files even though
the current software does not allow filtered MPC mode "event"
files.
- subs/header - version 1.7 to 1.8
Now determine and report the total amount of time in telemetry
gaps for the observation.
- subs/spectra - version 2.8 to 2.9
No longer give the "spectrum not extracted" warning since
this is more of an annoyance then a help.
- subs/telemetry - version 2.0 to 2.1
Modified to handle both compressed and gzipped telemetry.
Changed the check for orbit file consistancy to use the
new $UTIL/read_fits_date . This is technically y2k compliant,
but it is dependant on the dates in two ISAS-created fits files
both being compliant with the new FITS date standard, which is
out of our control. At worst this will give a spurrious error
message though.
- subs/aspecting - version 1.5 to 1.6
Now handles both compressed and gzipped attitude files.
- subs/combine - version 2.0 to 2.1
Added code to handle both compressed and gzipped telemetry files.
Now do not combine GIS PCAL mode files. These are rare and can not
be analyzed using the current software. It is also likely that
they have not been well tested in frfread and may contain bugs.
Their raw files will be saved with the
scraps.
- subs/fixthings - version 1.2 to 1.3
Now handles both compressed and gzipped telemetry and attitude files
- subs/readfrfs - version 2.1 to 2.3
- subs/faint2bright - version 1.2 to 1.3
Moved corner pixel extraction to the framedata subroutine to
allow time filtering and did some minor re-organization of the code.
- subs/makefilters - version 1.4 to 1.5
Added code to extract telemetry corruption data to be saved
as a trend product.
- subs/framedata - version 1.1 to 1.2
Now handles both gzipped and compressed telemetry files.
Also, added T_DY_NT to the filter parameters added to the frame
headers.
Changed the way that the filter parameters are extracted.
Now the last row between TSTOP and 32 seconds before TSTART
is used. Before, it was the first row. This will hopefully
do a better job with things like day-night transitions.
Imported code to extract corner pixel histograms from the
faint2bright subroutine. Also modified that code to include
some time filtering
- subs/information - version 1.4 to 1.5
Changed observation start and end date extraction to use
$UTIL/read_fits_date.
- util/gti_merge - version 0.0 to 1.0
Changed the "column" parameter name to "columns" in fmemsort
to accomodate FTOOLS 4.1
- util/check_order - version 0.0 to 1.0
Changed "column" to "columns" for fmemsort parameter to
accomodate FTOOLS 4.1
- util/xselect_test - version 1.9 to 2.0
Made adjustments to the stderr filtering to accomodate FTOOLS 4.1
Also, now remove "xselect.log" and "xselect.par" instead of
"xsel.log" and "xsel13.par".
Also remove fort.* which seems to be generated sometimes by the
new xselect version.
- util/mplot - version 1.0 to 1.1
Modified plot scripts to comply with the FTOOLS 4.1 version of
fplot. The new version keeps the default plot commands around
and a number of these defaults had to be over-ridden.
- util/pixl_criteria - version 0.0 to 1.0
Now accept T_SAA<0 and T_DY_NT<0 when selecting filter file rows.
- util/read_fits_date - version 0.0 (new)
- util/any_filename - version 1.10 to 2.0
added "corrupt" telemetry corruption data files
- process.par - version 2.7 to 2.8
Added pixl_nsigma and pixl_minrows.
Changed evttimetoll from -.50 to -.30 .
- processing_setup - version 1.4 to 1.5
Now add the current FTOOLS library directory to the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. This is to accomodate
possible compilation with shared object libraries
