1. ok, so calling the same readout functions from different equipments is just a bad idea, my bad, no blame for Midas to write data from both bank to both odb trees ...

2. One needs the same amount of bank entries as the size of settings/names[] . Otherwise the "History Log" flag does not work. So just don`t us "names" but "channel names" or something. 

" Second, it's advisable to group similar equipment into one. Like if you have five power supplies powering
and experiment, you don't want to have five equipments Supply1, Supply2, ..., but only one equipment
"Power Supplies".  "

It would be nice if this also works with c++ style drivers, i.e. a instance of a class. I don`t now how one would give an entry point to the "DEVICE_DRIVER" struct then.

Setting the History Log flag copies the banks created to the "Variables" of every equipments initialized, leading to a mismatch between the names array, and the variables. Can be solved by not using FE history events, but Virtual, but the flag in the Equipment is confusing.
