GLAST Standard Analysis Environment (SAE) Evaluation Questionnaire
Checkup 1
October 12, 2004 - October 29, 2004

Reviewer:D Davis
Software Component:count_map
Summary of Tests Performed:

User Interface

1. What, if anything, about the choice and meaning of parameters
could be improved? Are there new parameters which need to be
added? Are the current parameters sensible?
npix = 720 Total pixel size of the image in each axis:
npixy = 360 Total pixel size of the image in y axis:
These two are confusing maybe we should have something like
nxpix
nypix
from the wording I assume that if npixy is not set both axes
will be 720 pixels but thats not really clear.
One mathod would be to change npix -> nxpix and make
nypix a hidden parameter.


2. Are there any prompts you would suggest rewording?
ra_name & dec_name are not really appropriate since the x and
y-axis can be anything. Maybe something like x_axis,y_axis


3. Are there any hidden parameters which you think should be
prompted for or vice versa?
the only parameters prompted for should be
infile
outfile
npix
npixy
pixelsize

4. Would you like the prompts to appear in a different order?
yes!
infile
outfile
nxpix
table_name
filter
...
chatter
clobber
mode


5. Would you suggest changes to the default values of any
parameters? Changes to min, max fields?


Tool Behavior

6. In what way, if any, did the tool perform unexpectedly?

7. Were there any aspects of the tool's output which seem
scientifically suspicious to you? (e.g. fluxes too large,
number of events selected too small, etc.)

8. Was there information (i.e. output) the tool did not provide
which you think it should?

9. Was there information (i.e. output) the tool provided which
you think it should not?


Future Development

10. List new features you would like to see implemented, in
descending order of importance. Please flag any which you
think are critical for DC2.

11. Are there any aspects of this tool you would change in order
for it to work more smoothly with other parts of the SAE?
