SherpaCL |
The PRINT command now takes a GUI option to take advantage
of the ChIPS printer dialog window. The output from the
CONVERT command has been improved for a number of
situations. The ChIPS C and D commands now rok correctly,
but no longer support ranges other than "ALL". See 'AHELP
CHANGES' from within SherpaCL for more information.

| check_ciao_caldb |
Updated to avoid a spurious warning message when CALDB
version 4.1.4 (or later) is installed.
|
| 03 Nov 2009 |
SherpaCL |
A new, interactive interface that allows users to use CIAO
3.4 syntax for Sherpa and ChIPS commands in CIAO 4. The
language that can be used is currently limited. Refer
to "ahelp sherpacl" and the SherpaCL page on the Sherpa
website for more information and usage
examples.

lc_clean()
lc_sigma_clip() |
Both have been updated to better handle data with "extreme"
lightcurves: either by erroring out or being able to create
GTI files which contain a large number of time intervals.
The screen output (when verbose is set) has been modified
to provide more information on the length of each
interval.
|
| deflare |
New script: allows user to choose between the lc_clean() or
lc_sigma_clip() routine from the lightcurves.py module to
remove flares from lightcurves.
