Thanks Stefan, I would be very interested to see your code. At moment we have magnets and cryostats (3He and dilution) being delivered with Labview.

Hi,
The question was about the TMFeRpcHandlerInterface, not the TARunObject interface. Derived classes of TARunObject do indeed work as expected in our
environment. We have worked around the issue by using an implementation of TARunObject as well as the (separate) implementation of

This was exactly the question, should I expect it to run? There's no point in the HandleBinaryRpc method offline, but there's an argument that the HandleBeginRun/HandleEndRun
methods have a use.
I have the answer and we have a workaround, thanks.

I do not understand what you are doing. If you are offline, there is no TMFE singleton instance,
there is nothing TMFeRpcHandlerInterface to attach to, there is nobody to call TMFeRpcHandlerInterface methods.

Dear experts,
in the CYGNO experiment, we readout CMOS cameras for optical readout of GEM-TPCs. So far, we only developed the readout for a single camera. In the
future, we will have multiple cameras to read out (up to 18 in the next phase of the experiment), and we are investigating how to optimize the readout |

So I started our DAQ with an updated midas, after ca. 6 months+.
No issues except all FEs complaining about the Alarm ODB structure.

Would be worthwhile mentioning the git commit hash or tag you are using.

Just to be clear, it seems that your "EPICS Frontend" was either not recompiled against the new midas yet or the old binary is being run, but "SC Frontend"
is using the new midas.

Sorry to intervene there, but the FEs are usually compiled against libmidas.a . Therefore you have to compile midas, usually do a "make install" to update
the libmidas.a/so, then recompile the FEs. You probably forgot the "make install".

I want to control (start / stop / monitor its stdout and stderr) an external process (systemd / EPICS IOC shell script) from within MIDAS.
