Thanks all for the kind help. This did point me to the right direction. I was now able to make v1720.c as well as my MIDAS frontend (thanks to
Jimmy's example) talking to V1720, and read out the waveform bank.

I would like to know whether all parameters used by the frontend code have to be in the "Experiment/
Run Parameters" section. This section can become big and difficult to maintain, because it is one single
big section of experim.h (EXP_PARAM_DEFINED). I have parameters the various frontends read at the

If there's some template for writing a client to access event data, that would be
very useful (and you can probably just ignore the context I gave below in that

I try to save data to an FTP server but don't get any data on the server. Midas does not complain or message any error but also nothing gets saved. Does

Does somebody have experience with this? I use the following settings for the ODB mlogger channel settings: Type: FTP, Filename: server.com, 21, user,
pw, ., run%06d.mid, Format: MIDAS, Output: FILE. What would be the Output: FTP setting for? I tried this but it does not work at all.
