Hmm... the old midas analyzer framework is very old and I do not recommend
to use it for new experiments.

A newer analyzer system is ROOTANA and an even newer is the "m" analyzer (manalyzer). These
analyzers progressively introduce improved c++-style programming environments amongst other
improvements. If starting from scratch, I recommend that you use manalyzer (currently from the rootana
git repository).

The error says what it means. "[" is not a permitted character in odb names. It is used
by many odb functions to access array elements.

The midas analyzer example should be updated to change "[Hz]" to "(Hz)" or something similar.
