We have encountered a safety issue with our HPGe HV and it's midas frontend. Turning off or changing HV unknowingly has to be avoided at all costs.
Current safety protection
We use the DF_REPORT_STATUS flag to give the hardware settings precedence over
odb settings. This all takes place in the init. |

Dear Konstantin,

For my analyzer I generate the experim.h file from the odb.
Before midas commit 13c3b2b this generates structs with INT data types. compiles fine with my analysis code (using the old mana.cpp)

I have a fe, with 2 "equipments" (2 different types of LV supplies).
Equipment/../Setting has a "Names" key, with the actual channel names (ch1, ch2, ...) of the devices.

I wanted to have a c++ style driver, e.g. a instance of a "PowerSupply" class. This was not compatible with the list of DEVICE_DRIVER structs, with needs
a C function entry point with variable arguments.

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 ...

I adapted our analyzer to compile against the manalyzer included in the midas repo.
All our data files are .mid.gz, which now fail to process :(

We switched from the history files from MIDAS to FILE, so we have *.dat files now (per variable), instead of the old *.hst.

Dear experts,
we have a problem when trying to run a MIDAS DAQ which worked in the past on the same PC (but on a different

Dear Stefan,
thank you very much for your reply. We could finally fix the problem by replacing "scarlett" with "scarlett.localdomain" in our
hostname configuration file /etc/hostname (under debian).

Dear experts,
is there any way to launch an executable script on the host computer from the MIDAS
sequencer? If not, is there any interest to develop such a feature?
