- The new code does a better job at the margin of the runs: the spacecraft position and attitude (and related quantities) are computed starting from messages in the Magic 7 file. The new code uses the whole M7 file, which usually cover a broader time interval than the run, to compute position and attitude at the start time and end time of the run. The old code, instead, discarded all the messages before the start and after the stop of the run, computing position and attitude at those instants by extrapolation.
- A bug in the old code (see below for explanations) for the LIVETIME computation.
Note that in the following comparison I used only time bins in common between the two sets of files (i.e., with the same START and STOP time). Since we changed the way of handling gaps and other things (like change in mode or configuration), there are a small number of discrepancies in the binning scheme between the two files.
