  2128   10 Mar 2021 Zaher SalmanSuggestionembed modbvalue in SVG
Is it possible to embed modbvalue in an SVG for use within a custom page?

thanks.
  2129   10 Mar 2021 Stefan RittSuggestionembed modbvalue in SVG
You can't really embed it, but you can overlay it. You tag the SVG with a 
"relative" position and then move the modbvalue with an "absolute" position over 
it:

<svg style="position:relative" width="400" height="100">
  <rect width="300" height="100" style="fill:rgb(255,0,0);stroke-width:3;stroke:rgb(0,0,0)" />
  <div class="modbvalue" style="position:absolute;top:50px;left:50px" data-odb-path="/Runinfo/Run number"></div>
</svg>
  2156   26 Apr 2021 Zaher SalmanSuggestionembed modbvalue in SVG
I found a way to embed modbvalue into a SVG:

<text x="100" y="100" font-size="30rem">
Run=<tspan class="modbvalue" data-odb-path="/Runinfo/Run number"></tspan>
</text>

This seems to behave better that the suggestion below.

  1172   22 Mar 2016 Konstantin OlchanskiInfoemacs web-mode.el
For those who use emacs to edit web pages - the built-in CSS and Javascript modes seem to work 
just fine for editing files.css and files.js, but the built-in html modes fall flat on modern web pages
which contain a mix of html, javascript inside <script> tags and javascript inside button "onclick" 
attributes.

So I looked at several emacs "html5 modes" and web-mode.el works well for me - html is indented 
correctly (default indent level is easy to change), javascript inside <script> tags is indented 
correctly (default indent level is easy to change), javascript inside "onclick" attributes has to be 
indented manually.

web-mode code repository and instructions are here, the author is very responsive and fixed my 
one request (permit manual intentation of javascript inside html attributes):
https://github.com/fxbois/web-mode

I now edit the html files in the MIDAS repository using these emacs settings:

8s-macbook-pro:web-mode 8ss$ more ~/.emacs
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
(setq-default tab-width 3)
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/git/web-mode")
(require 'web-mode)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.html\\'" . web-mode))
(setq web-mode-markup-indent-offset 2)
(setq web-mode-css-indent-offset 2)
(setq web-mode-code-indent-offset 3)
(setq web-mode-script-padding 0)
(setq web-mode-attr-indent-offset 2)

  64   30 Mar 2004 Konstantin Olchanski elog fixes
I am about to commit the mhttpd Elog fixes we have been using in TWIST since
about October. The infamous Elog "last N days" problem is fixed, sundry
memory overruns are caught and assert()ed.

For the curious, the "last N days" problem was caused by uninitialized data
in the elog handling code. A non-zero-terminated string was read from a file
and passed to atoi(). Here is a simplifed illustration:

char str[256]; // uninitialized, filled with whatever happens on the stack
read(file,str,6); // read 6 bytes, non-zero terminated
// str now looks like this: "123456UUUUUUUUU....", "U" is uninitialized memory
int len = atoi(str); // if the first "U" happens to be a number, we lose.

The obvious fix is to add "str[6]=0" before the atoi() call.

Attached is the CVS diff for the proposed changes. Please comment.

K.O.

  2671   15 Jan 2024 Frederik WautersForumdump history FILE files
We switched from the history files from MIDAS to FILE, so we have *.dat files now (per variable), instead of the old *.hst. 

How shoul
d one now extract data from these data files? With the old *,hst files I can e.g. mhdump -E 102 231010.hst 

but with the new *.dat files I get

Yes, I can do csv export on the webpage. But it would be nice to be able to extract from just the files. Also, the webpage export only saves the data shown ( range limited and/or downsampled)

data is in fixed-length record format. from the file header, you read "record size" is 12 and data starts at offset 1024.

the 12 bytes of the data record are described by the tags:
4 bytes of timestamp (DWORD, unix time)
4 bytes of State (UINT32)
4 bytes of "Run number" (UINT32)

endianess is "local endian", which means "little endian" as we have no big-endian hardware anymore to test endian conversions.

file format is designed for reading using read() or mmap().

and you are right mhdump, does not work on these files, I guess I can write another utility that does what I just described and spews the numbers to stdout.

Thanks for the answer. As this FILE system is advertised as the new default (eog:2617), this format does merit some more WIKI info.

The interface is now mostly documented, go here: https://midas.triumf.ca/MidasWiki/index.php/Mjsonrpc

Documentation for individual javascript functions in mhttpd.js not merged into the MIDAS documentation yet, because the API is being converted to the Javascript Promise 
pattern (git branch feature/js_promise).

The functions available from mhttpd.js are documented via doxygen, also linked from the mjsonrpc wiki page.

  2719   27 Feb 2024 Pavel MuratForumdisplaying integers in hex format ?
Dear MIDAS Experts,

I'm having an odd problem when trying to display an integer stored in ODB on a custom 
web page:  the hex specifier, "%x", displays integers as if it were "%d" .

- attachment 1 shows the layout and the contents of the ODB sub-tree in question
- attachment 2 shows the web page as it is displayed
- attachment 3 shows the snippet of html/js producing the web page

I bet I'm missing smth trivial - an advice is greatly appreciated! 

Also, is there an equivalent of a "0x%04x" specifier to have the output formatted 
into a fixed length string ?  

-- thanks, regards, Pasha

Hi Stefan (and Ben),

thanks for reacting so promptly - your commits on Bitbucket fixed the problem.

For those of us who knows little about how the web browsers work: 

- picking up the fix required flushing the cache of the MIDAS client web browser - apparently the web browser 
  I'm using - Firefox 115.6 - cached the old version of midas.js but wouldn't report it cached and wouldn't load 
  the updated file on its own.

-- thanks again, regards, Pasha

Related bug fix - db_connect_database() should not permit client names that contain
the slash (/) character. Names like "aaa/bbb" create entries /Programs/aaa/bbb (aaa
is a subdirectory) and names like "../aaa" create entries in the ODB root directory.

  1948   15 Jun 2020 Martin MuellerBug Reportdeprecated function stime()
Hi

I had a problem with the compilation of midas after an OS update to the recent version of OpenSuse tumbleweed. The function stime() in system.cxx:3196 is no longer available. 

In the documentation it is also marked as deprecated with the suggestion to use clock_settime instead:
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/stime.2.html

replacing system.cxx:3196 with the clock_settime - method in system.cxx:3200 - 3204 also for OS_UNIX seems to solve the problem, but i'm not sure if this will cause problems on older OS's.

Though I can ignore all the warning without any problem, I still hate to see

There is no "type conversions". The compiler is whining about code like this:

/* data type names */
static char *tid_name[] = {
   "NULL",
   "BYTE",
   ...

I guess we should keep the compiler happy and make them "static const char*".

BTW, my compiler is SL5.2 gcc-4.1.2 and it does not complain. What's your compiler?

K.O.

  87   25 Nov 2003 Suzannah Daviel delete key followed by create record leads to empty structure in experim.h
Hi,

I have noticed a problem with deleting a key to an array in odb, then
recreating the record as in the code below. The record is recreated
successfully, but when viewing it with mhttpd, a spurious blank line
(coloured orange) is visible, followed by the rest of the data as normal.

This blank line causes trouble with experim.h because it
produces an empty structure e.g. :

#define CYCLE_SCALERS_SETTINGS_DEFINED

typedef struct {
  struct {
  } ;
  char      names[60][32];
} CYCLE_SCALERS_SETTINGS;

rather than :

#define CYCLE_SCALERS_SETTINGS_DEFINED

typedef struct {
  char      names[60][32];
} CYCLE_SCALERS_SETTINGS;


This empty structure causes a compilation error when rebuilding clients that
use experim.h

SD



 CYCLE_SCALERS_TYPE1_SETTINGS_STR(type1_str);
 CYCLE_SCALERS_TYPE2_SETTINGS_STR(type2_str);

Both type1_str and type2_str have been defined as in
experim.h
i.e.
#define CYCLE_SCALERS_TYPE1_SETTINGS_STR(_name) char *_name[] = {\
"[.]",\
"Names = STRING[60] :",\
"[32] Back%BSeg00",\
"[32] Back%BSeg01",\
 ........
 ........
"[32] General%NeutBm Cycle Sum",\
"[32] General%NeutBm Cycle Asym",\
"",\
NULL }

#define CYCLE_SCALERS_TYPE2_SETTINGS_STR(_name) char *_name[] = {\
"[.]",\
"Names = STRING[60] :",\
"[32] Back%BSeg00",\
"[32] Back%BSeg01",\
...........
............
"[32] General%B/F Cumul -",\
"[32] General%Asym Cumul -",\
"",\
NULL }

  if (db_find_key(hDB, 0, "/Equipment/Cycle_scalers/Settings/",&hKey) ==
DB_SUCCESS)
    db_delete_key(hDB,hKey,FALSE);
          
  if (  strncmp(fs.input.experiment_name,"1",1) == 0) {
      exp_mode = 1; /* Imusr type - scans */
      status =
db_create_record(hDB,0,"/Equipment/Cycle_scalers/Settings/",strcomb(type1_str));
    }
  else {
    exp_mode = 2; /* TDmusr types - noscans */
    status =
db_create_record(hDB,0,"/Equipment/Cycle_scalers/Settings/",strcomb(type2_str));
  }
