194 APPENDIX E. BAT SOFTWARE REVISION HISTORY batsumdph (SA) *battblocks (CM) [new tool] Tools marked with a * are either new or have had significant updates in functionality since Build 5.0. Libraries batutils - NEW LIBRARY This library contains general purpose BAT functions including the caldb access routines (wrappers which call HDgtcalf), the batidconvert function used by many tools and several functions used by one or more tools. Also a general-purpose include file bat_gswdev.h is included here. Several of these tools have been moved from other libraries. Modifications to tools which were released in Build 4 batbinevt -- SIGNIFICANT CHANGES This tool has undergone significant revisions. batbinevt now accepts as input both events and BAT detector plane histograms (DPHs). It produces as output any one of light curve, spectrum, DPH, or detector plane image (DPI). The DPIs can be of two types: one per image extension (outtype=DPI); or many in a single binary table (DPITAB). Users can choose whether the output should be weighted or not (new ’weighted’ parameter); or whether the output should be in counts or counts/s. Input column names are now selectable. For time binning, the ’gti’ time binning method now preserves all bin edges, even when the are adjoining; a new ’infile’ binning method preserves the original time binning of the input if it is a DPH. Energy bins can be specified on the command line, or accessed via CALDB. This tool now uses the headas_gti.c library routine instead of its internal one. batcelldetect -- SIGNIFICANT CHANGES batcelldetect can now read and analyze multiple images in a single run. The images must be in a single file, either as one per image extension, or in a binary table of images. The output catalog will contain a vector of fluxes instead of a scalar. batcelldetect now handles the SOURCE_ID catalog column. The requirements for detecting a new source have been made more stringent. The background variance must be significant; also, a minimum number of pixels must be found (4). batcelldetect can now be restricted to only positive peaks (pospeaks parameter).
