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).

Why do you need that? Periodic equipment typically runs ever ten seconds or so, meaning one can do this easily in a scheduler.
For polled equipment, you don't want to sleep at all. Because if you sleep, you might miss an event. That's why I put my poll in mfe.c into a for() loop. |

UNIX/POSIX advertises functions for sleeping in microseconds and nanoseconds,

I see that MIDAS installs several set-uid-root programs into /usr/local/bin.
In this age and time of evil computer hackers, this is not a good idea and
we should Do Something (TM) about it. Here is my risk assessment:

I am getting a series of errors from MIDAS that I do not understand, so I hope
someone can help me figure this out.
