 28 Jul 2023, Stefan Ritt, Info, New environment variable MIDAS_EXPNAME
|
Concerning naming of shared memories I went one step further due to some requirement of a local experiment.
The experiment needs to change the experiment name shown on the web status page depending on the exact
configuration, but we do not want to change the whole midas experiment each time.

|
Though ended with ".c", "lazylogger.c" has to be build with C++ compiler. I have
to modify my CMakeLists.txt.
Please see the attachment if you need it. It works with svn-r4616. |
 12 Dec 2024, Stefan Ritt, Suggestion, New alarm sound flag to be tested
|
We had the case in MEG that some alarms were actually just warnings, not very severe. This happens for example if we calibrate our detector
once every other day and modify the hardware which actually triggers the alarm for about an hour or so.

19 Dec 2024, Stefan Ritt, Suggestion, New alarm count added
|
Another modification has been done to the alarm system.
We have often cases where an alarm is triggered on some readout noise. Like an analog voltage just over the alarm threshold for a very short period of |

12 May 2020, Stefan Ritt, Info, New ODB++ API
|
Since the beginning of the lockdown I have been working hard on a new object-oriented interface to the online database ODB. I have the code now in an initial
state where it is ready for
testing and commenting. The basic idea is that there is an object midas::odb, which represents a value or a sub-tree in the ODB. Reading, writing and watching |

All this is very good news. I really wish this were available some months ago: it would have helped me immensely. The old C API was clunky at best.
I really like the idea and looking forward to using it (even if at the moment I do not have the need to) ... |

I had to change the ODBXX API: https://bitbucket.org/tmidas/midas/commits/273c4e434795453c0c6bceb46bac9a0d2d27db18
The old C API is case-insensitive, meaning db_find_key("name") returns a key "name" or "Name" or "NAME". We can discuss if this is good or bad, but that's |

09 Mar 2008, Exaos Lee, Suggestion, New Makefile for building MIDAS

I rewrote the Makefile for MIDAS in order to make it tidy. I tested it on my box
and it works here.

Not that the current Makefile is too pretty (I have seen worse), but it works and it is fairly compact for a project of

A new page has been implemented in mhttpd. This allows web access to all devices from an [URL=http://midas.psi.ch/mscb]MSCB system[/URL] and their variables:

A new sequencer for starting and stopping runs has been implemented. Although it is till kind of in a preliminary phase, it is usable, so I would like to
share the syntax with you.
