Complain to CAEN.

The year is 2020 and they should use standard C/C++ data types from stdint.h (uint32_t, etc).

Platform: Debian Linux testing
Compiler: gcc 4.3.4 (Debian 4.3.4-2)
Arch: x86
Description:
  The "g++" is whining while compiling history_midas.cxx. Please see the attached log file.
This can be fixed by add "#include <cstdlib>" to the C++ source. You know, different versions
of g++ don't act the same way. I think, maybe in version 4.2 or before, g++ can automatically
include the C header "stdlib.h" (which in C++ should be <cstdlib> because of some confusion
between C and C++), but not in version 4.3 or later. I tested g++-4.4, the problem still exists.
And g++-4.2 gives no error.

  1955   19 Jun 2020 Isaac Labrie-BoulayInfoBuilding/running a Frontend Task
To build a frontend task, the user code and system code are compiled and linked 
together with the required libraries, by running a Makefile (e.g. 
../midas/examples/experiment/Makefile in the MIDAS package).

I tried building the CAMAC example frontend and I get this error:

g++: error: /home/rcmp/packages/midas/drivers/camac/ces8210.c: No such file or 
directory
g++: error: /home/rcmp/packages/midas/linux/lib/libmidas.a: No such file or 
directory
make: *** [camac_init.exe] Error 1

Obviously, I'm running the "make all" command from the camac directory. Why 
would I get this "no such file" error? Do I need to download the MIDAS packages 
inside my experiment directory?

Thanks for helping me out.

Isaac
  227   10 Oct 2005 Stefan RittInfoBus drivers moved in repository
The previous midas/drivers/bus dirctory contains both midas slow control bus drivers plus vme & fastbus & camac drivers. I separated them now in different directories:

midas/drivers/bus
midas/drivers/camac
midas/drivers/vme
midas/drivers/fastbus

which is a more appropriate structure. Doing this in subversion was really simple and showed me that the moveover to subversion was worth it.

  990   15 Apr 2014 Wes GohnForumC++11 error
I am having some trouble creating a frontend that interacts with some libraries that use C++11. 

The flag I added to my MIDAS Makefile to get the C++11 part of the code to work is -std=c++0x. This 
causes an error in the equipment description in the frontend code.

The error I get is:

frontend.cpp:149: error: narrowing conversion of ‘-0x00000000000000001’ from ‘int’ to ‘WORD’ inside { 
}

This corresponds to the following in the MIDAS frontend code.

EQUIPMENT equipment[] = { 
  {
   "MWPC",                           /* equipment name */
   {1, TRIGGER_ALL,                  /* event ID, trigger mask */
     "BUF2",                        /* event buffer */

Do you know a way to make this compatible with C++11?

Thanks!

Is this maybe related to the LAM_SOURCE(0, 0xFFFFFFFF) where 0xFFFFFFFF is -1. I guess you are not using CAMAC, so just replace the 
LAM_SOURCE(...) with zero and try again.

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like it is instead the TRIGGER_ALL that is causing the problem. TRIGGER_ALL is defined as -1 in midas.h. If I replace TRIGGER_ALL with 0 in the 
frontend, it compiles, but if I use -1, I get the same error. I do not think that I want my trigger mask set to 0. Do you have a suggestion of how to get around this?

To answer the other questions, we are running on SLF6. I am building a frontend for a MWPC to read data from CAEN TDCs.

Ok, then it's clear. The trigger mask inside the EQUIPMENT_INFO is defined as 16-bit unsigned int (WORD). So the -1 gets expanded into a 64-bit signed int, then the compiler complains about truncating this to 16-bit. 

Just try instead TRIGGER_ALL to write

(WORD)(-1)

or even

0xFFFF

that should do the job. Basically you want all 16 bits to be "1" if yo do not use this feature.

Stefan
  1017   16 Jul 2014 Clemens SauerzopfForumCAEN V1742 midas driver
Hello all, 

as discussed in the thread about Interrupt triggered readout
(https://midas.triumf.ca/elog/Midas/1016) I send you out driver for the CAEN
V1742 modules.

The code is separated into two different parts, first the real midas driver
(attachment 1).
Here the non trivial part is reading the modules internal flash pages to get to
correction patterns for the DRS4 chips, this is not documented in the manual.

The functions to apply the correction patters to the data is in the second
archive (attachment 2). I have to say this is C++ code as we use this with rootana.

The driver including the signal correction was used for data taking in 2012 with
4 synchronized V1742 modules for Antihydrogen experiment by the ASACUSA
collaboration at cern. We'll use it gain this year.

I hope the archives contain all necessary information, some parts were
distributed in various files..

Cheers,
Clemens

EDIT: the driver is based on the v1740 driver

  1020   08 Sep 2014 Clemens SauerzopfForumCAEN V1742 midas driver
Hello all,

As an addition to the driver functions I uploaded in this thread I would also have a
C++ class that handles everything for the V1742 modules and can be directly used
integrated into a C++ frontend. 

I would like to ask if you have policy for user supplied code like this? It's not a low
level driver but a frontend module that reads and controls the module, creates odb
hotlinks and handles the bank creating and storing of the data.

Best regards,
Clemens

EDIT: the question is, do you like to have  codes like this collected somewhere for
example this forum or would you prefer if I would post a link to some online repository =
  493   01 Jul 2008 Jimmy NgaiForumCAEN V792N QDC with MIDAS
Dear All,

I have a problem when testing the V792N 16 CH QDC with the V1718 VME-USB 
Bridge on Scientific Linux 5.1 i386 (kernel 2.6.18-53.1.21.e15).

The problem is that the V792N does not response normally after a few minutes 
of continuous polling and readout of data. It seems like the V792N is hanged 
and a hardware reset of the VME system is required to bring it working again. 
If I do not poll for DREADY first and directly read the Output Buffer 
continuously, the system can work properly.

I have worked on this problem many days but I cannot find any clues to solve 
it. I have tried to use the CAENVMEDemo program (with some modifications) to 
do the same thing (polling and readout) and it works fine. CAEN technical 
support also doesn't know why the VME system is hanged. I think it might be a 
problem of MIDAS itself. I have tried with MIDAS revision 4132 and the trunk 
version, but the problem is still there. Is there any parameter in MIDAS 
(buffer size etc?) which may cause this problem? I have attached my frontend 
code and drivers for your reference.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Best Regards,
Jimmy

Hi All,

Is there any example code for using MIDAS with the CAEN VME-USB Bridge V1718? 
Thanks.

Regards,
Jimmy
  486   07 Jun 2008 Jimmy NgaiForumCAEN VME-USE Bridge with MIDAS
Hi All,

I am testing the libraries provided by CAEN with the sample softwares in the 
bundle CD. The Windows sample program works fine, but I cannot get started with 
the Linux sample program. When I run CAENVMEDemo in Scientific Linux 5.1, it 
gives me a message "Error opening the device". I have followed the instructions 
in CAENVMElibReadme.txt: 
- compile and load the device driver v1718.ko
- install the library libCAENVME.so

Does anyone have any experience of using V1718 in Scientific Linux? Thanks.

Regards,
Jimmy

  214   18 Aug 2005 Konstantin OlchanskiInfoCAMAC register_cnaf_callback()
Some time ago, the "remote CAMAC" functionality in mfe.c was made conditional on
HAVE_CAMAC. This flag is not set by default so remote camac calls silently do
not work, unless midas is compiled in a special way. I am too lazy to compile
midas differently depending on what hardware I use, so I split
register_cnaf_callback() into a separate file and made it easy to call directly
from the user front end.

I left the HAVE_CAMAC bits in mfe.c so people who use that would see no change.

Affected files:
Makefile (add cnaf_callback.o)
midas.h (add void register_cnaf_callback(int debug);
mfe.c (move the rpc code to cnaf_callback.c, call register_cnaf_callback())
cnaf_callback.c (new file)

K.O.

That's a good idea. The frontend framework should be independent of the used
hardware (CAMAC or VME or whatever). I event went further and removed the HAVE_CAMAC
completely. This means that people have to add the call to register_cnaf_callback()
explicitly into the frontend user init routine. I think this inconvenience is not a
big deal because even before that people had to add the cnaf_callback.c file
explicitely into their Makefile. So they have to be aware of that change, and then
it's not a big deal to modify the init routine as well. But this way we have mfe.c
completely independen of the DAQ hardware which is how it should be.

To make things a bit easier, I modified the midas\examples\experiment\fronted.c to
contain this call, so people should be guided by that. I also added cnaf_callback.c
to the Makefile of the example frontend.

A request was made to remove cnaf_callback.o from libmidas as it creates a unwanted dependency on the CAMAC 
hardware driver when libmidas.so is used in programs that do not use CAMAC.

After looking around, it appears that removing cnaf_callback.o from libmidas would not break anything critical, 
other than CAMAC frontends that would fail to link with an obvious and easy to fix error.

I am leaving cnaf_callback.o in the Makefile - so it will be built and placed in linux/lib/cnaf_callback.o for anybody 
who wants to use it.

Dear all,
       I'm trying to compile MIDAS on MacOS 10.10 and I get this error:

/Users/francesco/MIDAS/midas/src/system.cxx:3187:18: error: use of undeclared identifier 
'CLOCK_REALTIME'
   clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &ltm);

Is it related to my (old) version of MacOS? Can I fix it somehow?

Thank you,

If I see this correctly, you need at least MacOSX 10.12. If you can't upgrade, you can just remove line 3187 
from system.cxx. This function is only used in an online environment, where you would run a frontend on your 
Mac, which you probably don't do. So removing it does not hurt you.
