|
I just tried CMake 3.1.0 and it worked with midas. So I believe all versions between 3.1.0 and 3.6.1 are ok.
Actually playing around with different versions I realized that 3.0.0 is also ok, so I changed the requirement of midas down to 3.0

During my visit at TRIUMF we rewrote the history plotting functionality of midas. Instead of
static GIF images, we have now interactive JavaScript panels where we can scroll, zoom,
inspect values and much more (example is attached). We are now in a state where this is still

My first question would be why are you using several font-ends at all? That makes things more
complicated than needed. In the normal FE framework, you can define either several equipment
served by one frontend, or even one equipment linked to several devices. In the MEG experiment

That's clearly a bug, I will fix it.

Indeed there was a bug in some JavaScript code, which I fixed here: https://bitbucket.org/tmidas/midas/commits/d2b1a783240e252820c622001e15c09c5d7798c0
Note that your code will bring you the "old style" history panels (with GIF images). If you want the new style (interactive canvas panels), you need the |

That has been implemented in meantime. Just click on the download arrow and you can save the current window in CSV or PNG format.

[quote="Pintaudi Giorgio"]Hello!
Just a little question about the ODB hotlinks. Is it possible to open a hotlink

I wonder why do you this via ODB links. The "standard" way of writing to the history should be to create events for an equipment and flag this equipment
as being written to the
history. All variables under /Equipment/<name>/Variables then automatically go into the history and you don't have to worry about ODB links. Only variables |

There is a not-so-well-known function in the ODB to write protect some keys. You can do

Very good idea. And thanks for finding the document.hidden solution. I put it in, so give it a try.

Nope. All updates are done in mhhtpd_refresh(), and I changed it such that nothing is updated if hidden.
