Hello chandra-users,
The CIAO team is pleased to announce the February 2010 release of the
CIAO contributed science tarfile. The new tarfile may be download via
ciao-install (http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/download/) or from the CIAO
Contributed Scripts Page (http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/download/scripts/).
The changes in this release are:
o) SherpaCL
Version 0.2 release of the experimental sherpacl application that allows
users to use CIAO 3.4 syntax for Sherpa and ChIPS commands in CIAO 4.
This version works with CIAO 4.2 (it will not work with earlier CIAO
releases). Several additions and enhancements have been made:
- the CONF command has been added as a replacement for PROJ (see 'AHELP
CONF' from within SherpaCL)
- the sherpa.conf.parallel and sherpa.proj.parallel fields can be set to
1 to run the error analysis in parallel (the default is to use a serial
approach, unlike Sherpa in CIAO 4.2). See 'AHELP CONF' and 'AHELP PROJ'.
- the 'SAVE ALL' command is now supported, but the output is in Python
syntax, not the SherpaCL language.
- the 'GROUP BY' command now supports the WIDTH and BINS options
- the syntax "gauss1d[foo](,2.3:0.1:10)" is now supported for setting
the parameter min/max ranges as well as the value.
See 'AHELP CHANGES' from within SherpaCL for further details.
o) check_ciao_caldb
A minor script update to specify that release dates are reported in UTC.
