INTEGRAL Science Data Center (ISDC) =================================== http://isdc.unige.ch Release Note ============ Package: ibas_client Version: 2.1.0 Rel. Date: 16-Dec-2010 Contents ======== 1. Introduction 2. Portability 3. Changes since last release 1. Introduction ============ See the following URL for an introduction on IBAS, the INTEGRAL Burst Alert System: http://isdc.unige.ch/index.cgi?Soft+ibas or the ibas_client User Manual at: http://isdc.unige.ch/index.cgi?Soft+download 2. Portability =========== ibas_client version 2.1.0 was successfully compiled, installed and run on the following systems: - Sun Solaris 5.8 using GNU gcc 2.95.3 - Linux (Debian 3.0, kernel 2.4.18) using GNU gcc 2.95.4 3. Changes since last release ========================== ============== 2.0.0 -> 2.1.0 ============== Clarified in relevant doc files, that only 32bit architectures are officially supported and tested. 64bit archs were not that common back in 2002. However, one should be able to compile ibas client software under 64bit OS (probably with minor fixes). Minor fixes to the leap seconds handling Added support for WEAK alerts (alert type = 6). WEAK alerts were introduced in ibas_alertd-2.1.0 and are generated for events with significance below "normal" thresholds. Several observatories signalled their willingness to followup such alerts. WEAK alerts are neither confirmed nor rejected. Users Manual updated : a) ibas server IP change documented b) WEAK alert details documented. ============== 1.1.2 -> 2.0.0 ============== A new field (object_type) was introduced in the alert packet. This new field allows the identification of non GRB events, e.g. SGR etc. Users can subscribe individually to the various object types. The new field is located in the range of SPARE bytes, i.e. the total length of the alert packets remains 400 bytes. Compatibility: The ibas_client software version < 2.0.0 is still able to read the new alert packets. However, to decode the object type you need the ibas_client version 2.0.0 For a more complete description of this package, please refer to the ibas_client User Manual at: http://isdc.unige.ch/index.cgi?Soft+download ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
