28 Jan 2024, Konstantin Olchanski, Forum, the logic of handling history variables ?
|
MIDAS history is very simple:
from your frontend, your write your history data to ODB /eq/xxx/variables (see below)

|
familiar situation, "too much data", you dice t or slice it, still too much. BTW, you can try to generate history
plot ODB entries from your program instead of from the history plot editor. K.O. |
 12 Feb 2024, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, MIDAS and ROOT 6.30
|
Starting around ROOT 6.30, there is a new dependency requirement for nlohmann-json3-dev from https://github.com/nlohmann/json.
If you use a Ubuntu-22 ROOT binary kit from root.cern.ch, MIDAS build will bomb with errors: Could not find a package configuration file provided by "nlohmann_json"

13 Feb 2024, Konstantin Olchanski, Forum, forbidden equipment names ?
|
> equipment names are 'mu2edaq09:DTC0' and 'mu2edaq09:DTC1'
I think all names permitted for ODB keys are allowed as equipment names, any valid UTF-8,

11 Mar 2024, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, Autostart program
|
> It seems that if a frontend is started automatically by using Program->Auto start then the status page does not show it as started. This is since the
FE name has a number after the name. If I stop and start manually then the status page shows the correct state of the FE. Am I doing something wrong or
is this a bug somewhere?
