chan config lists of channels

[ggmarshall]

It would be nice to be able to specify the same channel config for a list of tables so don't have to pass each in individually, also could mean they all use the same processing chain instead of having to rebuild each time?

I guess this would be difficult as the database values are substituted when building the proc chain?

Yeah, I've had the same thought. Would wildcards be reasonable here for the channel names? This would be pretty easy to implement

Basically then you'd have:

"ch1*/raw": "the GED config",
"ch2*/raw": "the SIPm config"

Not sure if I have that all right. I think this would probably require us to define behavior for a channel name that matches multiple wildcards...But if we are careful, that could actually give us a good way to override behaviors:

"ch12345678": "some special confg",
"ch1*": "the normal config",
...

For us the sipm and ged channels are mixed together so would be hard to separate by wildcards I think

Edit: think all sipms start with same start so yes if we could essentially define wildcard hierarchies then could work

[ggmarshall]

But I agree wildcards would be the cleanest solution
