Ok, here is the complete code to reproduce the problem. Load parameter_test.msl which includes functions.msl. From the screenshot you see the variables
containing
garbage, and you also see that from the ODB screenshot. For completeness, I added Sequencer.json which contains the whole sequencer tree.

It is pretty much the same as Stefan, I attach here the screenshots. Also in my case it works sometimes, and sometimes partially (one or 2 params, like
in
attachment 3).

|
I have been able to reproduce the problem only once. From what I see, it seems that the Variables ODB tree is not initialized properly from the Param tree.
Below are the messages from the failed run compared to a successful one. As far as I could see, the javascript code does not change anything in the Variables
ODB tree (only monitors it). The actual changes are done by the sequencer program, or am I wrong?

Thanks for the hint Stefan. I pushed a possible fix but I cannot test it since I cannot reproduce the issue.

Seems to me like the problem happens less frequently, but I still see it (1 out of 5 or so). The fact that /Sequencer/Params/Value is empty tells me that
the GUI
has the problem and not the sequencer side.

I think that I finally managed to fix the problem. The default values of the parameters are now written first in one go, then the sequencer waits for confirmation
that everything is completed before proceeding. Please test and let me know if there are still any issues.

I am updating the TRIUMF IRIS experiment to the latest version of MIDAS. I see following error messages in midas.log:

This is a common problem I also encountered in the past. You get a low-level ODB access error (could also be a read of a non-existing key) and you
have no idea where this comes from. Could be the alarm system, a mhttpd web page, even some user code in a front-end over which the midas library
has no control.

17 May 2024, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, odbedit load into the wrong place

Trying to restore IRIS ODB was a nasty surprise, old save files are in .odb format and odbedit "load xxx.odb"
does an unexpected thing.

For everybody using EPICS: There is now a new system called MSetPoint (Midas Set Point) to control whole beamlines via EPICS.
It's under midas/msetpoint and the documentation is here:

Taht's strange. I always was under the impression that .odb files are loaded relatively to the current location in
the ODB. The behaviour should not be different for different data formats, so I agree to change the .odb loading to
behave like the .xml and .json save/load.

"red" colour- before, any message with square brackets and colons would be
highlighted in red. Now only messages matching the pattern [...:...] are

We stumbled upon and fixed a "double free" bug in src/ybos.c causing crashes in
lazylogger writing .mid files in the FORMAT_MIDAS format (why does it use
ybos.c? Pierre says- for generic file i/o). Why this code had ever worked before
