 10 Jun 2025, Stefan Ritt, Info, History configuration changed
|
Today the way the history system is configured has changed. Whenever one adds new equipment
variables, the logger has to add that variable to the history system. Previously, this happened during
startup of the logger and at run start. We have now a case in the Mu3e experiment where we have many

11 Jun 2025, Stefan Ritt, Info, Frontend write cache size
|
We had issues with the frontend write cache size and the way it was implemented in the frontend
framework mfe. Specifically, we had two equipments like in the experiment/examples/frontend.cxx, one
trigger event and one periodic event. While the trigger event sets the cache size correctly in the

|
As many of you already know Ben introduced the new PySequencer that allows running python scripts from MIDAS. In the last couple of month we have been working
on integrating it into the MIDAS pages. We think that it is now ready for general testing.

Following discussions at the MIDAS workshop, we propose to move MIDAS from c++11 to c++17. There is
many new features and we want to start using some of them.

22 Sep 2025, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, removal of ROOT support in mlogger
|
Historically, building MIDAS with ROOT caused us many problems - build failures because of c++ version
mismatch, CFLAGS mismatch; run-time failures because of ROOT library mismatches; etc, etc.

Following discussions at the MIDAS workshop and the proposed removal of support for ROOT, the very obsolete mana.c
analyzer framework has reached the end of the line.

Hi,
at the LEM Experiment at PSI, we still use mana.c and would like to keep it until end of 2026, where we will enter a long shutdown.
There we will switch to the manalyzer. Before that, there is simply no time for the change over. One thing I already noticed is the "lack" of documentation, |

Excellent, good to hear from you! Once we remove ROOT support rmana.o will be gone, only mana.o (no ROOT) will remain. Will this break your builds?
