Purpose

The ODB /Sequencer tree contains information related to the Sequencer. The keys are used by the Sequencer system and are not usually accessed directly by the user (but see #Path).

Creating the /Sequencer tree

The /Sequencer ODB tree is created the first time that the Sequencer button on the MIDAS web browser mhttpd is pressed. It will be filled with default values.

Example of /Sequencer tree

An example of the /Sequencer tree where the sequencer is running is shown below.

$mhttpd -p 8080 -D
$odbedit
[local:Defaults:S]ls -rwl /Sequencer

Keys in the /Sequencer ODB tree

State subtree

  • Type: DIR

The State subtree in the /Sequencer ODB tree is created by mhttpd. It is used by the Sequencer to store various data while running the sequence.

The user may wish to change the path of where Sequencer files are stored (see #Path) otherwise this tree is largely for internal use.





Path

  • Type: STRING
  • Default: ""

This key in the State subtree contains the directory path of the sequencer loadfile(s)

This key in the State subtree contains the name of the current sequencer loadfile.





Error

  • Type: STRING
  • Default: ""

This key in the State subtree contains the error message from the system when an error is detected, or blank if no error.





Error line

  • Type: INT
  • Default: 0

This key in the State subtree contains the loadfile line number where error occurred, or zero if no error.

  • Type: INT
  • Default: 0

This key in the State subtree contains the  ??? line number where error occurred, or zero if no error.





Message

  • Type: STRING
  • Default: ""

This key in the State subtree contains the Sequencer message





Message wait

  • Type: BOOL
  • Default: "n"

This key in the State subtree contains ...




Running

  • Type: BOOL
  • Default: "n"

This key in the State subtree indicates whether the sequencer is running.




Finished

  • Type: BOOL
  • Default: "y"

This key in the State subtree indicates whether the sequencer is finished.





Paused

  • Type: BOOL
  • Default: "y"

This key in the State subtree indicates whether the sequencer is paused.





Current line number

  • Type: INT
  • Default: 0

This key in the State subtree indicates the line number in the loadfile that the sequencer is currently executing.





SCurrent line number

  • Type: INT
  • Default: 0

This key in the State subtree indicates the line number in ??? that the sequencer is currently executing.





Stop after run

  • Type: BOOL
  • Default: "n"

This key in the State subtree indicates whether the sequencer should stop after current run





Transition request

  • Type: BOOL
  • Default: "n"

This key in the State subtree indicates whether a transition has been requested by the sequencer loadfile.





Transition request

  • Type: BOOL
  • Default: "n"

This key in the State subtree indicates whether a transition has been requested by the sequencer loadfile.





Loop start line

  • Type: INT array of 4 elements
  • Default: 0,0,0,0

This key in the State subtree contains the line number(s) in the sequencer loadfile where a loop starts.





SLoop start line

  • Type: INT array of 4 elements
  • Default: 0,0,0,0

This key in the State subtree contains the line number(s) ...




Loop end line

  • Type: INT array of 4 elements
  • Default: 0,0,0,0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains the line number(s) in the sequencer loadfile where a loop ends.





SLoop end line

  • Type: INT array of 4 elements
  • Default: 0,0,0,0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains the line number(s) ... where a loop ends.





Loop counter

  • Type: INT array of 4 elements
  • Default: 0,0,0,0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains the loop counter for loops.





Loop n

  • Type: INT array of 4 elements
  • Default: 0,0,0,0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains ...





Subdir

  • Type: STRING
  • Default: ""

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains ...





Subdir end line

  • Type: INT
  • Default: 0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains ...





Subdir not notify

  • Type: INT
  • Default: 0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains ...





Stack index

  • Type: INT
  • Default: 0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains ...





Subroutine end line

  • Type: INT array of 4 elements
  • Default: 0,0,0,0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains ...





Subroutine return line

  • Type: INT array of 4 elements
  • Default: 0,0,0,0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains ...






Subroutine param

  • Type: STRING array of 4 elements
  • Default:

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains ...





Wait value

  • Type: FLOAT
  • Default: 0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and is used when the Sequencer is Waiting (i.e. is executing a Wait statement in the Sequencer script). It will contain the current value of the wait parameter. For example, if executing the statement "WAIT events 500" and the current count is 250, this key will contain 250. When the Sequencer is not executing a WAIT statement, this key will be set to 0.






Wait limit

  • Type: FLOAT
  • Default: 0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and is used when the Sequencer is Waiting (i.e. is executing a Wait statement in the Sequencer script). It will contain the Wait limit, e.g. it will contain '5' if the Sequencer is executing the statement "WAIT seconds 5". When the Sequencer is not executing a WAIT statement, this key will be set to 0.




Start time

  • Type: DWORD
  • Default: 0

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer. If the Sequencer is Waiting for a certain time (i.e. executing a Wait Seconds statement in the Sequencer script), this key will contain the time that the Sequencer started waiting. In all other cases, it will be set to 0.





Wait type

  • Type: STRING
  • Default: ""

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer. If the Sequencer is Waiting (i.e. is executing a Wait statement in the Sequencer script) it will contain the type of the Wait, e.g. "Seconds", "Events" or "ODB" and operator (e.g. "ODB>=" see example above).





Last msg

  • Type: STRING
  • Default: "00:00:00"

This key in the State subtree is filled by the Sequencer and contains the time of the latest MIDAS message.





Variables subtree

  • Type: DIR

The Variables subtree in the /Sequencer ODB tree is created by the Mhttpd. It is used by the Sequencer to store input parameters used by the sequence (see PARAM command).





<parameter name>

  • Type: STRING
  • Default:

Keys are created when PARAM statements are included in the Sequencer file. In the example above, the ODB key runs has been created in the Variables subtree with the value 3. The Sequencer file used in the example contained a statement "PARAM runs", and when the sequence was started, the user entered the value "3" for the number of runs.
