I'll add your > answers to the little forum document and that will complete the > AI. END Updates of j_src_lc and _spectra will contain some bug fixes. I will clean off most of the present SPRs, keywords, free memory etc. Error estimates will be improved (to reduce the low count rate problem) The energy dependence of the detector resolution is partly taken into account. Good! Do you see any progress on the remaining vignetting issues? I am working on the support structure which may or may not be included. END > THanks, that was very clear and precise. Now your turn Sami! END I hope the support structure will improve on that. As soon as I have time I will test how that affects the vignetting. END I will clean off all of my SPR:s. I 'might' do some improvements to the bkg selection criterias. My main task is now to analyze blank field scw:s and make new bkg models. END > Will these be in time for the new OSA release? END What is the dead line? > Can you give us firm deadline Peter? END > Let's just say end of January, Sami. END I can promise the SPR:s and some new models. END Sami, remember that PID 6 in Rev. 41 and the first 5 PIDs in Rev. 42 are not empties! END > Okay, that's good. END > Any more comments on OSA 3.1?
