device driver
- Driver doesn't work well on realtime (in NFY/HST mode). Oddly, non-realtime acquisitions at 400 Hz in this mode have been achieved.
- Inform interval should be remembered, and updated whenever necessary. [ Careful with this, you have to watch for things like DSP resets / mode switches! ]
- If a command is interrupted without a timed-out reply being read, you have to cat /dev/mce_cmd0 before you can command the MCE. [ Resolved, error message is informative. ]
- Incorrect DSP packet size leads to DSP dropping the packet and no one knows to time out.
mce_cmd / mce_library
- qt_mode is not enabled automatically [ yes, it is. ]
- "cc fw_rev" expects at most 1 argument; this prevents us from doing, e.g. "rra cc fw_rev 0 1", which should be allowed.
- "reply outstanding" error effectively locks up the system. mce_cmd should recover from it.
dsp_cmd / dsp_library
maslog_server
- when idl was run and set_directory set a new data directory, log file disappeared and there was a period where commands where not
logged in yesterday/log and there was no today/log either.
- 2007-12-03 MA: noticed that $MAS_DATA/log is empty and although commands go through nothing is logged. tried to reload mas.cfg:
maslog_server -f /etc/mas.cfg maslog_server - logging server for MAS load_config: key 'level' not found in config file listen_on_addr: failed to bind [98] (address already in use?) listener_listen: could not listen on address 'localhost:7894'
then tried "maslog reopen" and that didn't help either.
