However, I now tried to add these: /gate/output/root/setRootHitFlag 0 /gate/output/root/setRootSinglesFlag 0 /gate/output/root/setRootNtupleFlag 0 And the size of the ROOT output is only a fraction of what it was before! Woohoo!</blockquote><div> Great ! And if you are using a PET scan and making coincidences you can add this line too : /gate/output/root/setRootCoincidencesFlag 0 </div> Cheers, Simon <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Thanks for your help!

I tried setting all those flags to 0, but it > doesn't make that big a difference in the size of the ROOT output file. Are you sure to put all flags to 0 ? There is one flag per digitizer module, such as : #/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesAdderFlag 0 #/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesReadoutFlag 0 #/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesBlurringFlag 0 #/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesThresholderFlag 0 and more ... so if you defined such modules, I think this is the reason why you even get big root files.
