Hello,
We have a small experiment with MIDAS based DAQ.

Thanks for the answer.
As soon as I can(possible in a month) I'll try suggestion below:

There is a small bug in the mfe.c initialization for the EQ_POLLED mode. There 
is a routine where the number of polls fitting in eq_info->period is counted:

Dear all

To reduce the time needed by Midas between runs, we want to change some of our periodic equipment to multi-threaded slow-control equipment. To do that

Yes, it is supposed to crash. On a remote frontend, cm_get_path() cannot be used
(we are on a different computer, all filesystems maybe no the same!) and is actually not set and
triggers a trap if something tries to use it. (this is the crash you see).

Few comments:

- As KO write, we might need semaphores also on a remote front-end, in case several programs share the same hardware. So it should work and cm_get_path()

Thanks you two once again for the very fast answers. I tested the example on the local machine and it works perfectly fine. In the meantime I also created
two new drivers for our devices 
and everything works with them, the improvement in time is significant and I will create drivers for all our devices where possible. If they are in a working

Hi Stefan, thanks a lot !

I just thought that for the EQ_SLOW type equipment calls to sleep() could be hidden in mfe.cxx
