Masa reports that the first version of gtpspec is available and it seems to work. Significances of results for separate runs for different Pdot values can be interpreted by keeping track of the trials factors that each run reports individually.

Wiki MarkupFrom James: "James and Masa finished rationalizing the time corrections in *gtpspec* and *gtpsearch*. All times are now corrected for pdot cancellation and binary demodulation, thus resolving the subtle bug described \ [previously]. In addition, they discovered that the period search tools were using TSTART/TSTOP from the event header to set up the start and stop times of the search, but that using the GTIs (start time of first GTI to stop time of last GTI) is more correct, and results in better searches. The effect is particularly strong in *gtpspec*. With all these changes, they checked in and tagged the first version of the
pulsar tools to contain the *gtpspec* binary."

Observation simulation

Jim has fixed a bug that caused a small (1/2 pixel typically) offset between the positions of diffuse sources in simulations and corresponding DiffuseSource counterparts in likelihood models. Riccardo Rando and Luigi Tibaldo had noticed this problem.
