- The Cube Spectrum Analysis Toolbox (CSAT) has been integrated into the Spectrum Explorer:
- The CSAT tasks can now be found under a icon in the SE toolbox.
- All CSAT tasks use now the standard HIPE Task GUI interface, with some additions to receive spectral and spatial selections from the SE. Users can e.g. either fill in a spectral range, or select the range in the spectrum plot.

- Each task has it own specialized selection tab, so that the original spectra selection do not disappear when one opens a task.
Analysis
- The Smooth task is corrected for a bug in the ZEROS option.
- As a consequence of this fix, which is more mathematically correct, it is found that smoothed spectra for SPIRE are quite changed. It is recommended instead to use the REPEAT option.
- Introduction of a new "Accumulate" task allowing to automatically combine data taken on different frequency grids, with or without frequency overlap.

- User releases for Windows and Linux already include the correct Java version.
- Developer releases and user releases for Mac do not include Java. You must ensure that you have a compatible version of Java installed on your system.
- If the minor version of your installed Java is different from the recommended one (for instance, 1.6.0_31 instead of 1.6.0_33) HIPE prints a warning in the command line window from which it was started. Minor version differences are unlikely to cause problems, but this cannot be guaranteed.
- If the major version of your installed Java is different (for instance, 1.5.0 instead of 1.6.0) HIPE shows a warning in a dialogue window at startup. Major version differences are very likely to cause problems. We do not recommend that you try to run HIPE 9.0 with a Java version other than 1.6.0.

| > > |
Improved calibration accuracy: updated telescope model
The telescope model has been updated to include an OD dependent multiplicative correction factor to the emissivity of the primary mirror. This leads to a more accurate model, and better calibration, particularly noticable for faint sources. The residual additive uncertainty in the pipeline products was previously 1-3 Jy, and this has now been reduced to 0.5 Jy.
Low resolution processing
Low resolution observations are now processed using calibration products based only on Low resolution input data. This leads to a much improved spectral shape for Low resolution observations.
Faster and slimmer pipeline processing
Multi-threading has been implemented in the most time consuming modules - speeds up processing time.
Un-used columns have been removed from interferogram product - this can reduce the size of the interferogram products by 44%. This leads to a small reduction in the total size of the final Observation Context because some other products increased in size slightly.
Average Spectra
The Average Spectra task has been updated to correctly propagate existing errors - now saves the number of scans averaged in "numScans" column
PCAL processing
The PCAL flash processing has been improved to take better account of the PCAL flash baseline. This is important for Bright mode observations of very bright point sources. In these cases there can be a large baseline caused by pointing jitter. This is correctly fitted and removed by the new PCAL algorithm and leads to improvements in spectral shape for very bright targets. | |

- Fixed units in the bright gain file meaning that correct units can be propagated by the task in the pipeline. Affects bright mode observations only.
- The nominal PCAL values needed to be updated to match the new PCAL processing algorithm. Affects bright mode observations only.
- Updated the beamParam product to:
- allow using the new Uranus model - small effect on the pipeline result, but model better justified. Biggest effect at longest wavelength.
- include off-axis point source conversion. No effect on SPG pipeline. For information and IA only.
- restructure product to remove unnecessary columns and include errors. Makes it easier to understand for IA (no change to pipeline)
- The PCAL profile allows the SPG pipeline to use the new PCAL processing algorithm that takes the PCAL baseline into account. This is used for processing of bright mode observations only and leads to an improved PCAL gain esp. for very bright sources.
- The beam prof product is not used in the pipeline - purely informational. Currently has pre-launch model data. Resetting to NaN makes it clear that this should not be used. Update planned for v10.
- Errors for smecStepFactor are purely informational and not used by the pipeline.
- Errors for bolPhase are purely informational and not used by the pipeline.
- RSRF files must be updated to match software updates in the pipeline - this makes them consistent with the final pipeline.
- The RSRF and beamParam for LR mode are now created only from LR data, giving a better shape to processed low resolution data.
- The new teleModel allows a correction to be made to the telescope model and leads to a substantial improvement in data for faint sources.
- A change the OPD limits is necessary for the new phase correction algorithm, and also for consistency to include the real limits for CR observations. CR observations are now processed as HR within the pipeline rather than relying on setting the values in the opdLimits product.

- to separate the Uranus observation used to produce the LR and HR versions of the file - this improves the LR calibration
- update the beam FWHM to more recent numbers - affects SLW more than SSW
- point source conversion factors included for most off-axis detectors (although not used in the standard pipeline)
- forwardRsrf and reverseRsrf columns removed as these were not used
- SCalSpecTeleRsrf and SCalSpecInstRsrf updated:
- to be consistent with other pipeline and calibration changes
- to use a separate processing to fill LR and HR products separately - this leads to better LR calibration
- Added errors to the following calibration products:
- SCalSpecBeamParam
- SCalSpecSmecStepFactor
- SCalSpecBolPhase
- SCalSpecNomPcal product updated to be consistent with the new PCAL processing algorithm
- Units were corrected in the SCalSpecBrightGain product
- The interferogram limits were adjusted in the SCalSpecOpdLimits product to be consistent with the new phase correction algorithm and to allow correct processing of CR observations as HR in the pipeline
- The SCalBeamProf product is not used in the pipeline and contained model data from before launch. In order to avoid confusion it was filled with NaNs until we have enough information to fill it properly.
- Two new products were added:
- SCalSpecTeleModel - this contains an empirical correction to the emissivity used in the telescope model - it leads to lower residuals in very faint observations
- SCalSpecPcalModel - this contains a model PCAL flash profile, used in the new PCAL processing algorithm

- A change the OPD limits is necessary for the new phase correction algorithm, and also for consistency to include the real limits for CR observations. CR observations are now processed as HR within the pipeline rather than relying on setting the values in the opdLimits product.

- DestriperTask
- Now the default task for baseline removal in both SPG and User pipelines.

-
- Added the "useSink" task parameter. The default value is False. It if it is set to True, the ProductSink on disk is used for the Level 1 output. This allows larger observations to be processed with a limited amount of RAM, but makes the task slower.
- Added the "nThreads" task parameter. The default value is 1. The parameter specifies the number of threads to use, increasing speed significantly on multi-core architectures.
- Implemented Level2 deglitching. The new "l2DeglichAlgorithm" task parameter specifies the algorithm to be used and can be set to "sigmaKappa" (default) or "twoSigmas".
| |
-
- Added the "startParameters" task parameter. This input parameter accepts a diagnostic product that was provided at the end of a prior destriper run. It contains a table dataset with the last fit parameters and a flag column that determines which scans were excluded. Manual changes to these flags will be honored by a second destriper run in an interactive analysis session. If provided, the contents of the table are used as start parameters for a new destriper run, enabling faster convergence, and improvements to the map by deselecting "bad" scans. The default value is null.
- Added the "storeTod" task parameter. The default value is False. In this case no TOD files will be stored and the returned TOD parameter is null. Setting the parameter to True, returns a TOD product and leaves the associated files (pixel, signal and weight) stored in the temporary directory until the end of the HIPE session.

- A new task called RecalcTempDriftTask to deal with the cooler burp problem was introduced in the build. During the cooler burp the drifts of bolometers is unusual and for this reason the temperature drift correction leaves residuals. The proposed solution is a empirical solution that assume that the problem is due a change in temperature drift coefficients A used in TempDriftCorrectionTask. These parameters are normally read from calibration table and are necessary to link bolometers' signal and voltage thermistors. The task recalculates the A parameters via linear fitting of uncorrected signal vs thermistor voltages and the new parameters are then used in TempDriftCorrectionTask.
- The user photometer pipeline scripts for parallel and large map observations was modified introducing the possibility to check for cooler burp and to use this new task to correct it. To do this, a new boolean parameter was introduced at the start of the user scripts: coolerBurpDetection. The default value is false, the user that wants check for the cooler burp he must set this parameter value to true.

Setting the parameter to True, returns a TOD product and leaves the associated files (pixel, signal and weight) stored in the temporary directory until the end of the HIPE session.
