Dear all,
is there any way to order the labels in the history plot legend? In the old

How does "find_package (Midas REQUIRED)" find the location of MIDAS?
The best I can tell from the current code, the package config files are installed

What we do is to include midas as a submodule and than we call find_package:

MidasConfig.cmake might at some point get included in the standard Cmake installation (or some add-on). It will then reside in the Cmake system path
and you don't have to explicitly know where this is. Just the find_package(Midas) will then be enough.

I truncated the bitbucket build to only build on ubuntu LTS 20.04.
Somehow all the other build targets - centos-7, centos-8, ubuntu-18 - have

15 Jun 2021, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, blog - convert tmfe_rev0 event builder to develop-branch tmfe c++ framework

Now we are converting the alpha-g event builder from rev0 tmfe (midas-2020-xx) to the new tmfe c++
framework in midas-develop. Earlier, I followed the steps outlined in this blog
to convert this event builder from mfe.c framework to rev0 tmfe.

I am sure everybody else has 10gige and 40gige networks and are sending terabytes of data before breakfast.
Myself, I only have one computer with a 10gige network link and sufficient number of daq boards to fill

In MEG II we also kind of achieved this rate. Marco F. will post an entry soon to describe the details. There is only one thing
I want to mention, which is our network switch. Instead of an expensive high-grade switch, we chose a cheap "Chinese" high-grade
switch. We have "rack switches", which are collector switch for each rack receiving up to 10 x 1GBit inputs, and outputting 1 x

As reported by Stefan, in MEG II we have very similar ethernet throughputs.
In total, we have 34 crates each with 32 DRS4 digitiser chips and a single 1 Gbps readout link through a Xilinx Zynq SoC.
The data arrives in push mode without any external intervention, the only throttling being an optional prescaling on the trigger rate.
