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

Have you updated to the current midas version? This issue has been fixed a while ago. Below
you see a screenshot of a long list scrolled all the way to the bottom.

Dear experts,
I would like to have some clarification about the meaning and use of the

I have two more questions related to Units, Format for Equipment/Settings:
1) It looks as if I can have units per channel only for the Input/Output channels but not for Demand/Measured channels.

This part of the system has been designed by KO, so he should reply here.

I fixed both in the current version, so please give it a try.

Very good question. It exposes a very nasty problem, the race condition between "ls" and "rm". While you are
looping over directory entries, somebody else is completely permitted to remove one of the files (or add more
files), making the output of "ls" incorrect (contains non-existant/removed files, does not contain newly added

That's right. Some of this stuff is historical gibberish that is no longer needed

MIDAS history is very simple:
from your frontend, your write your history data to ODB /eq/xxx/variables (see below)

I guess you won't change your FPGA configuration just when you start a run, so I don't consider the race
condition very crucial (although KO is correct, it it there).
