Good that you brought up the MIDAS VME API again, since this is still not complete, but
has to be completed soon.

 19 Sep 2005, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, Added driver for the Wiener CC-USB CAMAC interface
|
Commited to CVS is the preliminary driver for the Wiener CC-USB CAMAC interface.
The driver implements all the mcstd.h camac access functions, except for those
not supported by hardware (8-bit operations, interrupts) and a few esoteric

Dear MIDAS users and developers,
The "Midas VME Standard API" has been revised. We tried to incorporate all

Dear Midas users,
I have moved midas from CVS to Subversion today. There were many reasons for doing so, which I don't want to explain in detail here. To use the new repository, |

10 Oct 2005, Stefan Ritt, Info, Bus drivers moved in repository

The previous midas/drivers/bus dirctory contains both midas slow control bus drivers plus vme & fastbus & camac drivers. I separated them now in different
directories:

I manage to access some vme modules with the older vmicvme interface and seemed
confused with the
new interface as the sample code provided does not have a specific test sample.

02 Dec 2005, Greg Hackman, Info, MIDAS on Cygwin
|
If you want to run MIDAS on Cygwin, make sure you have cygserver running. First set a Windows system environment variable CYGWIN=server. This is best
done through the Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables. Then run /usr/bin/cygserver-config in a Cygwin console window. Then reboot.
After that your MIDAS executables should run properly.

22 Dec 2005, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, midas max event size?
|
My TPC events are fairly large: 18 FEC cards * 128 channels per card * 2 Kbytes
per channel = about 4 Mbytes. In my
frontend, when I request this event size, MIDAS complaints (in mfe.c) that it is

It turns out the the standard event builder fragment matching algorithm cannot
be used in my TPC application. I have two TPC-USB interfaces, which lack any
"busy" or synchronization logic. I send the hardware trigger into both

At DANCE we have a similar issue. We are still doing "software
handshaking" between multiple frontends (15 which read data, and 16th
with direct accessto the trigger logic), and we apply a time stamp

13 Jun 2006, Stefan Ritt, Info, ZLIB dependency modified

Due to recent problems with the ROME analyzer having zlib.h both in the
system and in the midas tree it has been decided to change the zlib policy in midas. By default, zlib support is not included in the midas analyzer. If
one want it (but I guess only very few experiments need that), one can do a
