E.17. SWIFT BAT SOFTWARE BUILD 19: 2006 JUL 10 217 * Optimized for speed in the PSF-fitting stage * Check for tangent-plane coordinate system in images is more complete now batdrmgen * Improved error checking baterebin * New parameter ’outmap’ for optional output detmask, with values indicating various potential criteria for masking detectors * New parameters ’lowecare’ and ’highecare’ that determine the energy range checked for two potential exclusion criteria batmaskwtevt * New parameter ’pcodethresh’ which allows far off-axis sources to be removed (instead of having very noisy points) batoccultgti * Revise the parameter handling so that the use does not need to know about, or delete, the required scratch files unless they want to * Correct behavior for the region file coordinate system designation * Add exception handling routines batoccultmap * Now uses the new version of WCSLIB batphasyserr * The task now adds some HISTORY information * Add exception handling routines battblocks * Internal code clean-up batupdatephakw * The task now adds some HISTORY information * Add exception handling routines Tasks batevt2dpi, batgse2dpi, batgse2dph, and batmasktagpha are considered obsolete, and/or not for end users. E.17 Swift BAT Software Build 19: 2006 Jul 10 1. Overview This build contains one new BAT task, and improvements and fixes to many tasks. It also discusses several non-BAT-related tasks which are delivered by the BAT team.
218 APPENDIX E. BAT SOFTWARE REVISION HISTORY All unit tests pass, and are based on the "production" version of the BAT CALDB, as released to the public. 2. Summary of tool changes New tools batwarpimg * New task which adjusts a BAT image for known non-linear image distortion * For source detection, batcelldetect should be used instead of this task Revised tools batbinevt * Bug fix to the way the final time bin was written, in some rare cases. * Bug fix to transfer the MJDREF* keywords properly, when combining GTIs * Bug fix to remove buffer overflow error tickled by the new parameter library * Primary HDU images are now labeled with HDUNAME instead of EXTNAME. This is still compatible with standard CFITSIO and DS9. * New time binning algorithm, MATCHLC, which allows the time binning of an existing light curve to be cloned. * Write NULL values in bins that have zero exposure (when minfracexp is 0) * Slight changes to error messages batcelldetect * Bug fix: clustering of >2 sources during the PSF fit stage was done improperly, and is now fixed * Bug fix: known bright sources which touch the border of the image were being improperly detected as new sources * New feature: adds distortion correction to position reporting (the distortion map is pointed to by the ’distfile’ which defaults to CALDB) * Internal changes of the use of the WCS library * Primary HDU images are now labeled with HDUNAME instead of EXTNAME. This is still compatible with standard CFITSIO and DS9. * Catalog I/O is more forgiving if TUNIT/TNULL values are not present batfftimage * Primary HDU images are now labeled with HDUNAME instead of EXTNAME. This is still compatible with standard CFITSIO and DS9. batmaskwtevt * New feature: adds distortion correction to position calculation (the distortion map is pointed to by the ’distfile’ which defaults to CALDB) batmaskwtimg * New feature: adds distortion correction to position calculation (the distortion map is pointed to by the ’distfile’ which defaults to CALDB)
