 04 Jul 2012, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, Crash after recursive use of rpc_execute()

I am looking at a MIDAS kaboom when running out of space on the data disk - everything was freezing
up, even the VME frontend crashed sometimes.

Hi,
I am writing shell scripts to create some tree structure in an ODB. When
creating an array of strings, the default length of each string element is 32

21 Apr 2005, Konstantin Olchanski, Suggestion, Correct MIDASSYS setting?
|
Current MIDAS versions nag me about setting the env.variable MIDASSYS to the
"midas installation directory", but I do not have one, so what should I set
MIDASSYS to? I checkout MIDAS from cvs into /home/olchansk/daq/midas, build it

Dear all,
I want to control (start / stop / monitor its stdout and stderr) an external process (systemd / EPICS IOC shell script) from within MIDAS.

Hi,
unfortunately I don't have a documentation link to the feature, I just know that it works on my machine ;-) The general idea is that you place a custom |

Dear all,
Stefan wants to run an external EPICS driver process as a detached process and somehow "glue" it to midas to control it. Actually a
similar requirement led to the development of MIDAS in the '90s. We had too many configuration files lying around, to many process to control and interact |

In the DEAP experiment, the normal MIDAS mlogger gzip compression is not fast enough for some data
taking modes, so I am doing tests of other compression programs. Here is the results.

I redid the tests from Konstantin for our MEG experiment at PSI. The event structure is different, so it
is interesting how the two different experiments compare. We have an event size of 2.4 MB and a trigger
rate of ~10 Hz, so we produce a raw data rate of 24 MB/sec. A typical run contains 2000 events, so has a
