How to configure

After the first launch, a template will be created, allowing you to more easily set up your Midas frontend. You should get this hierarchy.

/Settings/Device/ch name
                /is input
                /is output
                /type
         /Names Input
         /Names Output
         /Unit Input
         /Unit Output

• 'ch name' : an array of all EPICS channel you want to connect

• 'is input' : create an input channel for the 'ch name' of the same index

• 'is output' : create an output channel for the 'ch name' of the same index

• 'type' : declare the type of the epics channel of the same index

  • Type supported
    • short
    • long
    • int64_t
    • int16_t
    • float
    • double
    • bool

• 'Names Input' : assign a name for the input channel. If not specified, 'channel name' will be used
