• First release

SCMCAL V0.12.1

• Corrects gAttr TIME_MIN and TIME_MAX
• Improves the accuracy of the time range where the heaters alter the magnetic measurements (bit1 of L2_QUALITY_BITMASK)

• uses V13 skeletons
• the SCMCAL version comes from the descriptor and not from the configuration file
• the names of the CDF masters are given by the "template" keys in the descriptor file (and not in the configuration file)
• optimization of the computation time of CalibrateWave()
• optimization, transfer functions and transfer matrices were recalculated when not needed.
• improves the calibration of continuous waveforms (by overlapping)
• improves the calculation of Brtn (the M_scm_rtn matrix is calculated every second)
• corrects CALIBRATION_TABLE_INDEX (which was wrong as soon as a change occurred during the file)
• resizes the output TDS snapshots
• accepts resized or not resized L1R TDS snapshots

• First release

BICAS V3.1.0

• Zero order AC data de-trending (remove mean; previously removed linear fit), but no AC data re-trending. This removes earlier artificial offsets and artificial linear components, in particular in snapshots.
• Using improved fits and extrapolations of the BIAS AC transfer functions, in particular for low frequencies.
• Using modified inverted transfer functions for AC data below 7 Hz (constant gain) to prevent low frequency noise from being amplified.
• Sets quality variables based on manually identified thruster firings.
• Better CDF standards compliance.

• First release

• First release

• Bug in CHANNEL_OVERFLOW flag for waveform snapshots fixed. Antenna lengths for RPW_ANTENNA_RTN data in snapshot waveforms added. Now both directions in RTN and effective lengths are provided.
• Feature to process the resized L1 files for the redundant LFM modes implemented.
• New calibration table released. A major problem in calibrations of MAMP, STAT, HISTxD fixed (mismatch in a calibration table). CHANNEL_CONFIG replaced by CHANNEL_REF in all concerning data products. TDS antenna configuration is now represented by number (e.g. 10 = ANT1-GND or 23 = ANT2-ANT3). Feature to process the resized L1 files implemented.
• Signs for waveform and voltage snapshots fixed. Some issues with the ISTP/SPDF compliance resolved, metadata variables added dimensions for existing zVars changed.
• Mandatory Global Attributes filled. Mismatch in modes for the waveform snapshot calibration fixed. Time vector in MAMP product adequately created.
• The first SOAR release (known bugs: bad sign for VOLTAGES in all waveform snapshots. Bad calibrations for MAMP and STAT for some of the TDS modes. Incorrect time vector for MAMP. BAD flag for CHANNEL_OVERFLOW in MAMP, TSWF and RSWF data products).
