E.7. SWIFT BAT SOFTWARE BUILD 9: 2004 AUG 11 201 There is one new tool in this release, batgse2dph, but it is internal only to the BAT team. Revised tools batbinevt - * INTERFACE CHANGE: ’dph_counts’ parameter is now ’countscol’ * INTERFACE CHANGE: output column is now TIME_STOP instead of TIME_END * now copies correction keywords ending in "APP" from the input mask weight file to the output * now ignores NULL input counts values * bug fixes batcelldetect - * INTERFACE CHANGES: new ’posfit’, ’srcfit’, ’najdpix’ and ’srcdetect’ parameters, for fine-grained control of the task * now copies correction keywords ending in "APP" from the input image to columns in the output catalog * allow configurable source names, with an index number * allow niter=0, which only computes which sources are in the F.O.V. * ignore NULL pixel values * output descriptive comments of each catalog column * bug fixes batclean - * INTERFACE CHANGES: new ’wtmapin’ and ’wtmapout’ keywords to aid in error analysis * recognizes either the SOURCE_ID or CATNUM catalog column name * default aperture and teldef files taken from CALDB now batdrmgen - * now relies on batmaskwtevt/img to compute corrections * add transparency of lead mask to the model bateconvert - * bug fix batfftimage - * CRITICAL BUG FIX: for images that were partially flipped when handedness=left * user-selected oversampling is now permitted * many corrections can now be applied to the image, there is a "default" correction with the BAT team recommended corrections * major code restructuring * other small bug fixes batgse2dph - * BAT team tool for converting non-flight calibration data to flight-like format

202 APPENDIX E. BAT SOFTWARE REVISION HISTORY bathotpix - * Can now handle rate data * bug fix batmasktaglc - * INTERFACE CHANGE: add ’corrections’ parameter for cosine, partial coding and flatfielding adjustments. * Add support for multiple mask weight maps. * More robust estimate of T50/90, also including uncertainty estimates. * Optimization Tasks batevt2dpi, batgse2dpi, batgse2dph, and batmasktagpha are considered obsolete, and/or not for end users. E.8 Swift BAT Software Build 10: 2004 Oct 10 1. Overview This build is more or less a clean-up build. There are some bug fixes and small improvements, but there was some effort to avoid changes where they weren’t needed. "Revision 2" release notes contains some additional enhancements over the first delivery, to batmaskwtimg and batmaskwtevt. It also includes some documentation updates. "Revision 3" provides a note that the task baterebin is not functioning properly (see section 3) This release compiles and runs its unit tests successfully on Linux, Mac OSX, and Alpha OSF. See below for some issues with the Alpha. The "X-pointed" teldef file is delivered in the "test" CALDB used for unit testing. 2. Summary of tool changes There are no new tools. Revised tools batbinevt * produce FLUXMETH keyword in output files (flux extraction method) * bug fix for output of CHANTYPE keyword (was writing column name instead of PHA/PI)

E.7. <strong>SWIFT</strong> <strong>BAT</strong> SOFTWARE BUILD 9: 2004 AUG 11 201<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is one new tool in this release, batgse2dph, but it is internal<br />

only to the <strong>BAT</strong> team.<br />

Revised tools<br />

batbinevt -<br />

* INTERFACE CHANGE: ’dph_counts’ parameter is now ’countscol’<br />

* INTERFACE CHANGE: output column is now TIME_STOP instead of TIME_END<br />

* now copies correction keywords ending in "APP" from the input<br />

mask weight file to the output<br />

* now ignores NULL input counts values<br />

* bug fixes<br />

batcelldetect -<br />

* INTERFACE CHANGES: new ’posfit’, ’srcfit’, ’najdpix’ and<br />

’srcdetect’ parameters, for fine-grained control of the task<br />

* now copies correction keywords ending in "APP" from the input<br />

image to columns in the output catalog<br />

* allow configurable source names, with an index number<br />

* allow niter=0, which only computes which sources are in the F.O.V.<br />

* ignore NULL pixel values<br />

* output descriptive comments of each catalog column<br />

* bug fixes<br />

batclean -<br />

* INTERFACE CHANGES: new ’wtmapin’ and ’wtmapout’ keywords to aid in<br />

error analysis<br />

* recognizes either the SOURCE_ID or CATNUM catalog column name<br />

* default aperture and teldef files taken from CALDB now<br />

batdrmgen -<br />

* now relies on batmaskwtevt/img to compute corrections<br />

* add transparency of lead mask to the model<br />

bateconvert -<br />

* bug fix<br />

batfftimage -<br />

* CRITICAL BUG FIX: for images that were partially flipped<br />

when handedness=left<br />

* user-selected oversampling is now permitted<br />

* many corrections can now be applied to the image, there is a<br />

"default" correction with the <strong>BAT</strong> team recommended corrections<br />

* major code restructuring<br />

* other small bug fixes<br />

batgse2dph -<br />

* <strong>BAT</strong> team tool for converting non-flight calibration data to<br />

flight-like format
