• ctmodel now always produces a single model cube on output. There are two important input parameters: "infile" and "obsfile". "infile" specifies a counts or model cube that is used to define the binning of the model cube. The functionnality for this parameter is as before. If "infile=NONE", the cube will be defined according to task parameters that specify the spatial and the energy binning. The "obsfile" parameter is new and allows specifying the observation definition for which the model cube should be computed. If an event list or a counts cube is presented, the pointing and Good Time Intervals will be extracted from the FITS file header. If an observation definition XML file is presented, ctmodel will now loop over all CTA observations in the file and add the model values to the model cube. If no response information is associated to the "obsfile" (which is typically the case for event lists or counts cubes), the "caldb" and "irf" parameters will be used to identify the response.

  • - change evfile parameter to infile
    - added irf and caldb parameters
    - use pointer to GModel for test source
    - clean exception handling
    - minor code adjustments

  • WARNING: The philosophy behind the ctbin tool changed fundamentally!
    
    ctbin now always produces a single counts cube on output. If a single event list is specified on input, the functionnality is basically unchanged. If multiple event lists are specified, however, events are now merged into a single counts cube file. No observation definition XML file is written anymore!
    
    So far, ctbin still writes pointing information in the counts cube, although this is not necessarily meaningful if merging event lists with different pointings. In the long run, pointing information will be summarized in a pointings definition file, and will be removed from the counts cube header. The logic is that the pointing definition is set to the map centre. This is only identical to the pointing in case of binning a single event list and using the usepnt=yes option (or specifying the pointing manually as the xref and yref parameters).
