Start RSPDriver, CalServer and BeamServer in background (detached from
terminal) when they are passed a "-d" option ('d' for daemon).

All file-descriptors are closed to LofarLogger must be set up correctly
with .log_prop files to output logging to a file.

rspdriver.in, calserver.in and beamserver.in init scripts now use
'daemon' function to start the server in the background.

Set correct path to parmdb.

Added scripts to start different 3C343 calibrations.

Modify CLOCKS update semantics.
GETCLOCKS simply returns the current setting.
SUBCLOCKS subscribes to changes.
- period defines how often the RSP_Driver checks for changes.
- only when the setting of the clock is actually changed is a UPDCLOCKS
  event returned to the subscribed clients.

Query sampling_frequency from hardware using CLOCK event.
Send SETRCU event to hardware to switch RCU's to specified mode for a subarray.

Remove the now obsolete sampling_frequency parameter from CAL_START event.
It is now queried from the hardware.

Added 2 input parameters: path of general MS description file and path of subset MS.

Added parameter MSDesName

Added a DataHolder to be able to write individual parameter values to a separate database table (BBS3ParmSolutions).
Also added an optional flag (writeIndividualParms) to toggle this writing.

Do not use locks on ANTENNA table

Made some cosmetic changes in the Navigator.

Merged relevant changes of the 2.1 release branch into the main development
line.

Merged relevant changes from the 2.3 release branch into the main develoment
line.

Merged relevant changes from the release 2.3 branch into the main development
line.

There are some problems with odbc, dtl and/or the odbc postgresql driver. For now these packages are installed under ~lofar/usr because the packages in /opt do not work. The packages used are the same as on lofar17.

Also added a new compiler: icc9

Conformed measurement set names to standard from makems script:
general .des file in '<msname>.des' and
subset .des files in '<msname>_p<predID>/vis.des' where predID=1,2...number prediffers.

Changes to work with the changed data order in DH_Vis(Array).
Data is now written in chuncks of nrPol*nrPol*nrChanPerVis*nrBaselines complex numbers.

Fixed bug in accessor method.

Replace placeholders by actual values, so moving files does not require
new doxygen tags.

Execute lofarinit.sh

Check if new LOFARROOT is valid

Added this file to fill the Navigator with default panelviews.

Added a strategy to write predicted data.

Fix makefile

Needed MPI, APS, and Transport

Made more complete and automatic.

- added (t)WH_BGL_Processing.* that does all BG/L processing on a single core
- do backward fft instead of forward
- add 3x2 correlator matrix
- fix correlator conjugate bug
- simplify itsFIRs usage
- partial implementation of delay compensation (not enabled by default)

CAL_Protocol and BS_Protocol relocated

Take array position from Subarray definition. This can vary per subarray.

Remove antenna locations, they are no longer defined here but in
APL/PAC/CalServer/src/AntennaArrays.conf.in

dependency on APL/PIC/RSP_Protocol was missing

Removed unused variables.

Update package list for rub

Update package list for rub

Use /opt/lofar as prefix.

Remove dead stuff.

Now rpm installable.
Updated include paths.

Now rpm installable.
Updated include paths.

Made rpm'able and compliant with the rpm related changes of dependent packages.
