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

Thanks all for the kind help. This did point me to the right direction. I was now able to make v1720.c as well as my MIDAS frontend (thanks to
Jimmy's example) talking to V1720, and read out the waveform bank.

odbedit command "rename Display xxx/yyy" creates a key named "xxx/yyy" (yes,
with a slash in the name) and this key cannot be deleted or renamed...

02 Mar 2021, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, shortest possible sleep
|
since I am implementing a polled equipment, I was curious what is the smallest possible sleep time on current computers.
in current UNIX, there are 2 system calls available for sleeping: select() (with microsecond granularity) and nanosleep() (with nanosecond granularity).
