About

mhttpd.js contains javascript function wrappers for most MIDAS AJAX functions typically used for implementing interactive custom pages for MIDAS experiments.

AJAX is a set of web development techniques used to construct interactive web applications:

mhttpd.js is typically served by mhttpd from $MIDASSYS/resources/mhttpd.js 

<html>
<head>
...
<script src='mhttpd.js'></script>
...
</head>
...
</html>

A mostly up to date copy of mhttpd.js is linked here:

An example for using all mhttpd.js functions is included in the MIDAS distribution under examples/javascript1:

MIDAS AJAX functions can be accessed directly without using mhttpd.js wrappers (i.e. using the JSON-P script-tag method)

ODBSet

http://ladd00.triumf.ca/~daqweb/doc/midas-old/html/RC_mhttpd_custom_ODB_access.html#RC_mhttpd_custom_odbset

ODBGet

http://ladd00.triumf.ca/~daqweb/doc/midas-old/html/RC_mhttpd_custom_ODB_access.html#RC_mhttpd_custom_odbget

ODBMGet

Valid ODB path targets are: simple variables and arrays (specified as "/eq/foo/var/array[*]").

ODBMGet for subdirectories does not work (AJAX jget returns correct data, but incorrectly decoded by ODBMGet() javascript code).

ODBMGet for arrays specified without "[*]" is unknown.

ODBKey

(doc incomplete)

http://ladd00.triumf.ca/~daqweb/doc/midas-old/html/RC_mhttpd_custom_ODB_access.html#RC_mhttpd_custom_odbkey

Usage: 

var key = new ODBKey("/Equipment/RpcExample/Variables/SLOW");

Returns a javascript object with data fields corresponding to the data fields of MIDAS KEY (midas.h): 

{"name":"SLOW","type":"TID_DOUBLE","num_values":"3","item_size":"8","last_written":"1376633931"}

ODBCopy

Usage: 

var data_json = ODBCopy("/Equipment/RpcExample/Variables", "json");
var obj = JSON.parse(data_json);
document.getElementById('json_data0').innerHTML = obj.SLOW[0];

Return value: 

{
  "SLOW/key" : { "type" : 10, "num_values" : 3, "last_written" : 1376634320 },
  "SLOW" : [ 2357, 1376634320, -8.6602540236010100e+01 ]
}

ODBMCopy

Usage: 

      var paths = [
      "/Equipment/deapvme01/Settings/EnableControl",
      "/Equipment/deapvme01/Settings/mainSwitch",
      "/Equipment/deapvme01/Readback/sysMainSwitch.0",
      "/Equipment/deapvme01/Variables",
      "/Equipment/deapvme02/Settings/EnableControl",
      "/Equipment/deapvme02/Settings/mainSwitch",
      "/Equipment/deapvme02/Readback/sysMainSwitch.0",
      "/Equipment/deapvme02/Variables",
      "/Equipment/deapvme03/Settings/EnableControl",
      "/Equipment/deapvme03/Settings/mainSwitch",
      "/Equipment/deapvme03/Readback/sysMainSwitch.0",
      "/Equipment/deapvme03/Variables",
      ];

      ODBMCopy(paths, load_callback, "json");
...
      function load_callback(data)
      {
      var obj = JSON.parse(data);
      document.getElementById('enableControl1').innerHTML = obj[0].EnableControl;
      document.getElementById('mainSwitch1').innerHTML = obj[1]['mainSwitch'] + " / " + obj[2]['sysMainSwitch.0'];
      document.getElementById('p5v1').innerHTML = obj[3].current[0];
...
