  487   11 Jun 2008 Andreas SuterSuggestionmlogger is flooding the message queue
The current versions of mlogger SVN 4215 is flooding our message system with
stuff like

> Tue Jun 10 16:42:01 2008 [Logger,INFO] Configured history with 22 events
> Tue Jun 10 16:42:14 2008 [Logger,INFO] Configured history with 22 events
> Tue Jun 10 16:42:26 2008 [Logger,INFO] Configured history with 22 events

This is fatal to us and blowing up the midas.log like hell. I would prefer if
one could flag these kind of messages (ODB /Logger/..), i.e. enable and disable
it. At the moment I have to comment it out in the source code since we cannot
work with it.

Cheers,
  Andreas

I just sent the attached message to Stefan - please read it.

Before we take any action, we need to understand why history is being
reconfigured every 10 seconds (according to your logfile snippet).

Are you starting a new run every 10 seconds?

If that is what you do and that is your intent, I guess it is atypical usage of
MIDAS and the message from the mlogger is offensive and should be removed/disabled.

If something else is going on, we need to understand it before we sweep trouble
under the carpet by disabling this message.

K.O.

Stefan - there is more bad news - the message is produced when the history
is being reconfigured. This only is supposed to happen when the mlogger
starts or at the begin of run.

So these messages are just a tip of an iceberg of some other trouble.

The logic of when history is reconfigured I did not change. So likely
the trouble existed before, but you did not know about it.

We can kill the message, but why is the history being reconfigured
at a rate that "floods the log file"? That cannot possibly be good.

K.O.

Problem confirmed on the M11 DAQ system at TRIUMF. We definitely do nothing funny
there, so what is going on? Will investigate.

The only place I see where this could happen is in mlogger.c, lines 3064ff:

   /* check if event size has changed */
   db_get_record_size(hDB, hKey, 0, &size);
   if (size != hist_log[i].buffer_size) {
      close_history();
      open_history();
      return;
   }

The record size corresponds to /Equipment/<name>/Variables. If this array changes in
size, it will trigger the re-definition of the history. So please have a look there
and check why the record size changes.
  522   04 Nov 2008 Suzannah DavielSuggestion<odb ... edit=1> buttons and javascript
When writing custom webpages, it would be nice to be able to write code such as

<odb src="/Equipment/TITAN_ACQ/ppg cycle/trans3/time offset (ms)" edit=1>

from Javascript, e.g.
<script  type="text/javascript">
if ( flag != 3)
   document.write('<odb src="/Equipment/TITAN_ACQ/ppg cycle/trans3/time offset
(ms)" edit=1>ms');
else
   document.write('<odb src="/Equipment/TITAN_ACQ/ppg cycle/trans4/time offset
(ms)" edit=1>ms');
</script>

This is not translated correctly by mhttpd; the final quote and bracket get
stripped off, and it gives Javascript error

 Error: unterminated string literal
Source File: http://titan04:8089/CS/ppg_cycle?cmd=Edit&index=11

I can get round this by using an input box and a combination of ODBGet and
ODBSet, but it would be easier if the edit=1 form above worked correctly, or
there was a command like ODBSet that would accept input from the user.

Thanks.

Actually that won't work, even if I would fix it. The <odb> tag is evaluated on the
server side (mhttpd), where is gets replaced by the actual ODB value. But if you
use JavaScript to generate the <odb> tag dynamically, this only happens on the
client side, so the server has no chance to substitute them. So you have to go with
ODBGet's I'm afraid. Nevertheless, I changed the code such that any ODB tags inside
a JavaScript is not interpreted by mhttpd.
  579   18 May 2009 Exaos LeeSuggestionQuestion about using mvmestd.h
The "mvmestd.h" uses the following function to open a VME device:
int mvme_open(MVME_INTERFACE **vme, int idx)
I found that the "driver/vme/sis3100/sis3100.c" uses the implementation as:
   /* open VME */
   sprintf(str, "/dev/sis1100_%02dremote", idx);
   (*vme)->handle = open(str, O_RDWR, 0);
   if ((*vme)->handle < 0)
      return MVME_NO_INTERFACE;
   }

The problem is: I renamed my SIS1100 devices as /dev/sis1100/xxxxx. So I have to hack the "sis3100.c".
Shall we have some smart way? Smile

In principle one could pass the device name to the user level. But I would like to keep the same code for Windows and Linux, and Windows does not need a device name. So you can either hack the file (I'm pretty sure it won't change in the next few years) or what I do is to make a symbolic link

/dev/sis1100/xxxx -> /dev/sis1100_00remote

Best regards,

Stefan

As in the old joke, "Doctor, it hurts when I do *this*; Doctor answers: then don't do it!"

But I am curious why you want to change the "manufacturer-default" device names. For the vmivme.c and 
gefvme.c drivers that we use at TRIUMF, there is no obvious reason or gain from changing device names.

I used the old V2.04 driver for SIS1100/SIS3100. The old package contains a script which creates devices
as /tmp/sis1100_XXXX. So I created another script and installed it into /etc/init.d/. That script can be
invoked by using standard rc.d tools. In order to make the /dev directory tidy, it creates device files
into just one directory as /dev/sis1100/. That's the story.

Now, I found, the new sis1100.ko of version 2.12 can create devices automatically as /dev/sis1100_xxxx.
So, my script can be retired now. And also, I needn't to hack the "sis3100.c" anymore.
  618   18 Aug 2009 Denis CalvetSuggestionCould not create strings other than 32 characters with odbedit -c "..." command
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 
characters. If odbedit is used interactively to create the array of strings, 
the user is prompted to enter a different length if desired. But if the 
command odbedit is called from a shell script, I did not succeed in passing 
the argument to get a different length.
I tried:
odbedit -c "create STRING Test[8][40]"
Or:
odbedit -c "create STRING Test[8] 40"
Or:
odbedit -c "create STRING Test[8] \n 40"
etc. all produce an array of 8 strings with 32 characters each.
I haven't tried all possible syntaxes, but I suspect the length argument is 
dropped. If it has not been fixed in a later release than the one I am using, 
could this problem be looked at?
Thanks,
Denis.

Ok, I added a command

odbedit -c "create STRING Test[8][40]"

which works now. Please update to SVN revision 4555 of odbedit.c

  629   03 Sep 2009 Exaos LeeSuggestionBuilding MIDAS using CMake
I write some configure file to build MIDAS using CMake. The usage is simple:
1. Unzip the attachment, copy "CMakeLists.txt" and directory "cmake" into the
midas source tree.
   $ cp -rp CMakeLists.txt cmake/  <PATH-TO-MIDAS>/
2. make a separate directory, such as "build". It's a good habit to build a
project without polluting the source tree. :-)
   $ mkdir build
3. Executing cmake
   $ cd build && cmake <PATH-TO-MIDAS>
4. Make
   $ make

Or, you can generate Xcode project files:
  $ cmake -G Xcode <PATH-TO-MIDAS>
or using visual studio
  $ cmake -G "Visual Studio" <PATH-TO-MIDAS>
(I havn't Visual Studio and windows, so the above command is not tested.)
or using other IDEs, such as KDevelop3, Eclipse, etc, just type:
  $ cmake -G "KDevelop3" <PATH-TO-MIDAS>
or
  $ cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4" <PATH-TO-MIDAS>


I test the configure file with GNU make and CMake 2.6.4 on Debian Lenny. I
havn't add installation commands now. Maybe later. If anyone interests in it, I
may check it again. Anyway, I'm using it.

  630   03 Sep 2009 Exaos LeeSuggestionSome screenshot using CMake with MIDAS
I didn't add optimization flags to compile, so I got link error while generating mcnaf as I reported before.
The screen-shots show that the configure files works because I have modified the "driver/camac/camacrpc.c".

If I want to create only one string, should I write like this:

  odbedit -c "create STRING Test[] [256]"

OK. I need it. I will try the new odbedit.

"create STRING test[1][256]" works.
  663   15 Oct 2009 Exaos LeeSuggestionBuilding MIDAS using CMake
The attached zip file is the updated configurations for building MIDAS using CMake. It works with svn-r4604.
If you want to use it, please follow the steps here:

Quote:


  1. Unzip the attachment, copy CMakeLists.txt and directory "cmake" into the midas source tree.
    $ cp -rp CMakeLists.txt cmake/ <Path-to-MIDAS-tree>/
  2. Make a build dir, and change to it.
  3. Execute cmake as this
    $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path-to-install> <path-to-MIDAS-tree>
  4. Make and install

You may use 'cmake -G <generator-name>' to generate building files for Unix Makefiles, Eclipse CDT4, KDevelop3 or Xcode, etc. I didn't test with other platforms. It now works with Unix Makefiles under Linux system. Please feedback any bugs to me: Exaos.Lee(AT)gmail.com .

  668   02 Nov 2009 Exaos LeeSuggestionNew cmake files
Though ended with ".c", "lazylogger.c" has to be build with C++ compiler. I have 
to modify my CMakeLists.txt. 
Please see the attachment if you need it. It works with svn-r4616.

  674   23 Nov 2009 Exaos LeeSuggestionScripts for "midas-config"
Supposing you have installed MIDAS to some directory such as "/opt/MIDAS/r4621", you have to write some Makefile as the following while building some applications based on the version installed:

Quote:
CFLAGS += -I/opt/MIDAS/r4621/include -DOS_LINUX -g -O2 -Wall -fPIC
LIBS += -lutil -lpthread -lodbc -lz
....

Why not use a script to record your MIDAS building options? When you want to build something based on it, just type something such as

Quote:
M_CFLAGS := `midas-config --cflags`
M_LIBS := `midas-config --libs`

You needn't to check your installed options each time when you build something against it. Each time you install a new version of MIDAS, you only need to update the script called 'midas-config'. I wrote a sample script named "genconf.sh" in the first zipped attachment. The 2nd "midas-config" is a sampled generated by it. Also a diff of Makefile is included. I hope it may help. Smile
