Changelog ========= Release Version 2.0 [2006-04-28] * Major rework of internal data representation. Now supports IFs with different number of spectral channels. This has minimal effect on the user interface. * Creation of a "selector" object used for data selection. Allow slicing of data in beam, IF, polarisation as well as selection via header values (e.g. Tsys) * Scantables can be merged * Multiple scan tables can be read into a single scantable * Polarmetric infrastructure improved to support most observing styles (circular feeds only) * Plotter can now only plot from a single scantable (use merge if necessary) * ASCII (text) spectral output changed to be more usable * Can change the source position coordinate frame * Bug fixes (Release 1.2.2) * channel based flagging * Added get_elevation, azimuth and parangle * Added swap_pol & invert_phase * added allaxes arg to poly_baseline * Request: added pager throuput for history and summary * Request: Log meesage on auto_quotient() * Bug Fix: plotter -set_mode("s","i"). * Bug fix: plotter -autoscale abcissa limits from all spectra for stacking. Release Version 1.2.1 [2005-12-06] * scantable.recalc_azel - recalcualte azimuth and elevation based on * pointing Bug fix: plotter - set_layout got overwritten byt plot; row cursor not honoured in _plot_time Release Version 1.2 [2005-11-30] Code changes ------------ * frequency switching: scantable.freq_switch() * get a list of sourcenames: scantable.get_sourcename() * build quotients from matched _S/_R pairs or 1*_R/n*_S automatically * plotting control: plotter.set_colors(), plotter.set_linestyles(), plotter.set_linewidth() all also via .asaprc parameters * non-interactive (non-GUI) plotting * ASAP Online (Mopra) Monitor web interface (mini pipeline) * user control of multi-panel: plotter.set_layout() * histogram plotting: part of linestyles * plugins: via ~/.asap/userfuncs.py * plotter panel control: rcParams['plotter.ganged'] * usability: reworked the whole asap startup scripts, now all user adjustable through ~/.asap/ Todos/pending -------------- * documentation update: should be finished by 2005-11-25 * cookbook * release 1.2: 2005-11-30 Major non-targets, resulting from requirements/targets ----------------------------------------------------- * asap logging, which can be turned on and off through .asaprc/rcParams (from asapmon) * Data container v2 design study and document ( moved from cycle II ) Not Addressed ------------- (deferred to cycle II, as described in support document) * Flexible data selection * "Merging of spectra" (concatenating scantables) * public defect tracking system
