  852   09 Jan 2013 wenliang liBug ReportOutputting ADC and TDC data into ROOT tree with the MIDAS SVN Revision:5347.
Dear Midas Experts

I am Wenliang Li, a graduate student from University of Regina. Our group have
encountered some difficulty on outputting ADC and TDC data into ROOT tree with
the MIDAS SVN Revision: 5347.

Our Linux Distribution: Scientific Linux release 6.0 (Carbon)
ROOT Version:           ROOT 5.28
gcc version:            g++ (GCC) 4.4.4 20100726 (Red Hat 4.4.4-13)
kernel version:         2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.i686


I am using the given example $MIDASSYS/examples/experiment to generate some
data, and the issue is that the analyzer refuses to turn on the  ADC0 and TDC0
back switches. 

If the ADC and TDC banks are switched off, the analyzer will successfully output
the histograms but not the ROOT tree, and the Trigger and Scaler root trees are
completely empty.

With the same example experiment: $MIDASSYS/examples/experiment, this issue does
not occur on MIDAS SVN Revision: 4309.


The output error messages in the analyzer window are shown if the ADC and TDC
banks are switched to 1:

*************************
Connect to experiment ...OK
Root server listening on port 9090...
Loading previous online histos from /home/billlee/experiment/test_exp/last.root
Running analyzer online. Stop with "!"

Error in <TTree::Branch>: The pointer specified for TDC0 is not of a class known

ROOT TTree rebooked
***********************
***************************



If I analyze the data with TDC and ADC bank switched set to be 1 :
$ analyzer -i runXXXXX.mid -o runXXXXX.root

I get the following error messages:

[midas.c:1973:,ERROR] cm_disconnect_experiment not called at end of program

**********************************************************************************************
**********************************************************************************************







I wonder if there is any program syntax change between MIDAS Version 4309 and
5347, and are there any simple working setup example which can output root tree
with the newest version of MIDAS?
 
In the end, I would like to thank the continuous effort from Triumf and PSI on
developing MIDAS, it is a pleasure to work with.

Many thanks

  834   06 Sep 2012 shaunBug Report"cannot find recent history file"
Hi, when attempting to access a history window the following message is repeated
over and over in the MIDAS message log:

Thu Sep 6 11:37:16 2012 [mhttpd,ERROR] [history.c:886:hs_count_events,ERROR]
cannot find recent history file
Thu Sep 6 11:38:16 2012 [mhttpd,ERROR] [history.c:886:hs_count_events,ERROR]
cannot find recent history file

cannot find recent history file
Thu Sep 6 11:39:16 2012 [mhttpd,ERROR] [history.c:886:hs_count_events,ERROR]
cannot find recent history file
Thu Sep 6 11:39:16 2012 [mhttpd,ERROR] [history.c:886:hs_count_events,ERROR]
cannot find recent history file

It appears to be related to attempting to display a history graph that includes
some time periods that have no recorded history data. When I zoom in so that the
whole graph has data the error message goes away.

The graph displays fine either way, so this error message seems useless. Is
there a way to suppress it?

Thanks
Shaun
  424   05 Feb 2008 qinzeng pengForumrpc timeout, related to event_size and watch dog? need help
Dear all,

I'm trying to write a simulation code on midas. What I did is just modify the
frontend.c(pp) from experiment samples and made some parameters change on midas.h .

Because my simulation ask for about 4.5MB for each event, so I increase the
MAX_EVENT_SIZE and max_event_size accordingly.

in midas.h :

#define MAX_EVENT_SIZE 0xa00000 //0x400000 /**< maximum event size 4MB*/
#define BANKLIST_MAX 640 //64 /**< max # of banks in event */
#define DEFAULT_RPC_TIMEOUT 60000 //10000
#define WATCHDOG_INTERVAL 5000 //1000
#define DEFAULT_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT 60000 /**< Watchdog */


in frontend.cpp :

BOOL frontend_call_loop = TRUE;
INT max_event_size = 5 * 1024 * 1024;
INT max_event_size_frag = 2* max_event_size;
INT event_buffer_size = 2 * max_event_size;

EQUIPMENT equipment[] = {

{"WFD_SIMU", /* equipment name */
{1, 0, /* event ID, trigger mask */
"SYSTEM", /* event buffer */
#ifdef USE_INT
EQ_INTERRUPT, /* equipment type */
#else
EQ_POLLED, /* equipment type */
#endif
LAM_SOURCE(0, 0xFFFFFF), /* event source crate 0, all stations */
"MIDAS", /* format */
TRUE, /* enabled */
RO_RUNNING, // | /* read only when running */
// RO_ODB, /* and update ODB */
5000, /* poll for 500ms */
0, /* stop run after this event limit */
0, /* number of sub events */
0, /* don't log history */
"", "", "",},
read_simu_event, /* readout routine */
},
......
}
INT frontend_loop()
{
/* if frontend_call_loop is true, this routine gets called when
the frontend is idle or once between every event */

ss_sleep(100);

return SUCCESS;
}


Compilation OK and running mlogger, odbedit, frontend is OK.
start the run -> no problem ( but there is a long waiting time in frontend if
starting the run. Before the run begins, frontend terminal popping up messages
frequently, say, every 10 seconds. When run starts, frontend terminal hang on
for a couple of minutes before popping up next bunch of messages.)

stop the run -> Problem -> rpc timeout

message from odbedit:

Stefan Ritt wrote:
Most likely you changed the maximal event size in midas.h, but you did not re-compile all programs.

Every time I changed midas.h or system header files, I did the re-compile with following procedure:
ipcrm
rm .*.SHM
mcleanup
make clean
make
su
make install

Stefan Ritt wrote:
The maximal event size goes into the size of the shared memory buffer, so all participating programs have to have the same setting, especially the mserver program.

Question here:
How to compile mserver seperately? I think make and make install under midas directory already did the job.


Stefan Ritt wrote:
update to the latest midas version, which is revision 4116

I used latest svn version, so I believe I'm using the latest version 4116.
svn co svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/midas/trunk midas
svn co svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/mxml/trunk mxml

I followed your instructions and did the following:
1)
svn co svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/midas/trunk midas
svn co svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/mxml/trunk mxml
2)
changed two parameters in midas.h
#define MAX_EVENT_SIZE 0xa00000 //0x400000 /**< maximum event size 4MB->10MB*/
#define BANKLIST_MAX 640 //64 /**< max # of banks in event, I need 356 */
3) make
su
make install
I don't know if I need compile mserver seperately.
4) running only two programs:
odbedit -s 10000000
./frontend

And I still got the same problem as before.

And I know that the run stopped after a while on frontend, but after the eroor message showed above. If I tried to stop again in odb after a while, it did stopped.

Run #1 stopped


By the way, thanks for the quick response. I've been working on this for a couple of weeks and I am a newbie.

I also attached my frontend.cpp code and output of make with warning message but comilation completed. Thanks in advance.

In frontend.cpp I only use simulation and don't need any hardware realted issue or function calls but I jsut leave some of them there.

[qzpeng@phy2-dhcp140 midas]$ 
  298   01 Sep 2006 pohlForumHytec 5331 CAMAC kernel 2.6 driver problem
Grüezi,

I am new to this list.
We are using MIDAS in the Muonic Hydrogen Lamb Shift experiment at PSI. Previously the DAQ was maintained by Paul Knowles. For the upcoming beamtime I took over.

Now I have problems with the kernel driver khyt1331_26 with Midas svn 3315.

I have compiled the driver, and modprobe khyt1331 works.
Then: "cat /proc/khyt1331" gives, with the CAMAC crate switched OFF:

Hytec 5331 card found at address 0xCC40, using interrupt 10
Device not in use
CAMAC crate 0: not responding
CAMAC crate 1: not responding
CAMAC crate 2: not responding
CAMAC crate 3: not responding


When I switch the crate on and do the "cat" again, the computer freezes.
When I switch the crate OFF again, the computer screen turns black and the computer beeps.


Is anybody using the Hytec 5331 PCI CAMAC card plus the Hytec 1331 CAMAC crate controller and can help me?

I would greatly appreciate any help. Otherwise I am lost.

Cheers,

Randolf


More info:
------------------------------------------------------
Using SuSE 9.3 on a P4. Tried HyterThreading on and off.
uname -a:
Linux mpq1p13 2.6.11.4-21.13-smp #1 SMP Mon Jul 17 09:21:59 UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

------------------------------------------------------
This is exactly what I did (my logbook):
> cd $MIDASSYS/drivers/kernel/khyt1331_26
edit kyt1331.c:
replace (line 36):
# include <config/modversions.h>
with
# include <linux/config.h>
now
> make
> make install
Works, but produces irrelevant error:
install: cannot stat `../doc/*.9': No such file or directory
(Some doc stuff missing)
Finish "make install" by hand by typing
> /sbin/depmod

Load the driver and check it is there:
> modprobe khyt1331
> lsmod | grep khyt
gives on my machine:
"khyt1331 13084 0 "

Now try
> cat /proc/khyt1331

Gives on my machine (no CAMAC crate attached)
Hytec 5331 card found at address 0xCC40, using interrupt 10
Device not in use
CAMAC crate 0: not responding
CAMAC crate 1: not responding
CAMAC crate 2: not responding
CAMAC crate 3: not responding

Finally we need the character device with major number 60 ("char-major-60)
called "/dev/camac".
First check that no device with major=60 exitst:
> ls -l /dev | grep "60,"
should not produce any output.
So we create this device by
> mknod /dev/camac c 60 0
And
> ls -l /dev | grep "60,"
results in
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 60, 0 2006-09-01 14:25 camac

(Here start the problems described above. I had the same problems when I tried the "cat" with CAMAC on BEFORE I did the "mknod")

----------------------------------------------------------
Uncommenting all "prink" in ../drivers/kernel/khyt1331_26/khyt1331.c I get the following kernel logs in /var/log/messages:

Sep 1 17:15:55 mpq1p13 kernel: khyt1331: module not supported by Novell, settin

And then it dies.

I agree with Stefan, that it's probably better to run a multi-threaded setup, than individual frontends.

The only place I've ever used the frontend index on startup is when I was testing and building
an eventbuilder.

https://midas.triumf.ca/MidasWiki/index.php/Event_Builder#Example

This might explain, why your history is swapping between frontends, as in the event builder, it gets
reconstructed.

Maybe this helps...

When we are running the examples in $MIDASSYS/examples/experiment/, we meet some 
problems when analyzing the results:
1. When we analyze the data using the analyzer: ./analyzer -i run00001.mid -o 
run00001.rz  , we find some bugs: 
"
Root server listening on port 9090...
Running analyzer offline. Stop with "!"
[Analyzer,ERROR] [mana.cxx:1832:bor,ERROR] HBOOK support is not compiled in
[Analyzer,INFO] Set run number 6 in ODB
Load ODB from run 6...OK
run00006.mid:2680  events, 0.00s
"
We think this occurs in the "midas/src/mana.cxx ". How can we solve this?

2. When we analyze the above data, an error also occurs: 
[Analyzer,ERROR] [odb.cxx:847:db_validate_name,ERROR] Invalid name 
"/Analyzer/Tests/Always true/Rate [Hz]" passed to db_create_key_wlocked: should 
not contain "["

We simply fixed that just by replacing the "Rate [Hz]" with "Rate" in the 
test_write in midas/src/mana.cxx 
We are curious whether you can fix the problem permanently in the next version, 
or we are not running the code properly. Thanks!

Hi all,

I am having some issues getting the ODBINC command to work within the MIDAS 
sequencer. I am trying to increment one of the ODB values but it is returning a 
mismatch data-type size error (see attached image).

All the ODB variables are MIDAS data-type FLOAT and should all be 32-bit values, 
but for some reason MIDAS is thinking they are 4-bit values. I have tried creating 
new ODB keys of type INT32, UINT32 and DOUBLE but they all give the same error.

If anybody has any suggestions I would really appreciate some help:)

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me regarding this. The output of "ls -l" is:

Hi Stefan,

Cheers for the reply. I believe the syntax we are using is correct. I have tried copying the script 
you used above and it results in the same error as before. Perhaps something is going wrong 
elsewhere - I will take another look today.

Hey, thanks for getting back to me

We are fairly confident the syntax is correct. Having tried the test script posted by Stefan:

> ODBSET /Equipment/ArduinoTestStation/Variables/_S_, 10
> 
> LOOP 10
>   WAIT seconds, 3
>   ODBINC 

The same error is returned:/

We will take another look today.

Here is the simplest script which produces the error:

WAIT seconds, 3
ODBINC /Equipment/ArduinoTestStation/Variables/_S_

I noticed that "Jacob Thorne"  in the forum had the same issue as us in Novemeber last 
year. Indeed we have not installed any later versions of MIDAS since then so we will 
double check we have the latest version.

We have tried updating using both:

git submodule update --init --recursive

and:

git pull --recurse-submodules

But the error still persists. Is there another way to update which we are missing?

Hey Stefan,

We are running the GIT revision midas-2020-08-a-509-g585faa96:

[local:mu3eMSci:S]/>ver
MIDAS version:      2.1
GIT revision:       Tue Feb 15 16:31:07 2022 +0000 - midas-2020-08-a-521-ge43ea7c5 on branch develop
ODB version:        3


which is still giving the error unfortunately.

when start a run, it bring the mtransition process and I guess the server try to talk to the
client, then it fails and the frontend application get killed since not response.

>> When you try to stop your fe from 
> odbedit with  # odbedit -c "shutdown feTCPPacketReceiver"

it gets

what does this error mean? :

p.s. that code runs fine on my laptop with ubuntu 9, so that also be possible that somewhere
my configuration not right to cause problem
