I am also attaching all of my macros used for this particular simulation this time. Everything runs by calling the macro Main_Wencke.mac.

It was supposed to be an acquisition of 240s, but looking at the time mark of the last event and the total number of decays in the gateRun.dat file it was only running for 108s. I didn’t get an error message or anything, the end of the simulation looked normal. I had most of the outputs disabled except for the coincidences flag for the ASCII and root output. The file size for the ASCII coincidence file was 234MB, the root output file was 55MB. I didn’t change any settings for data output like max. file sizes or anything. I have attached my output-start macro (one of the macros called from my main macro). <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Can anyone help?
