<p><font size="2">Dear Gaters, </font></p>
<p><br>
<font size="2"></font></p>
<p><font size="2">I want to launch some parameterized simulations but even though I'm following the user guide instructions there seem to still be some issues with the callback. The parameterisation deals mainly with the output part of my macro defined as:</font></p>
<p><br>
<font size="2"></font></p>
<p><font size="2"># OUTPUT <br>
/gate/output/ascii/enable<br>
/gate/output/ascii/setFileName {outputname}<br>
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileHitsFlag 1<br>
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesFlag 0<br>
<br>
/gate/application/setTimeSlice 1 s<br>
/gate/application/setTimeStart {ta} s<br>
/gate/application/setTimeStop {tb} s</font></p>
<p><br>
<font size="2"></font></p>
<p><font size="2">From this, I have a command-line/shell script call on the form of:</font></p>
<p><br>
<font size="2"></font></p>
<p><font size="2">>> Gate -a [outputname,SPECT_voxsource_time001] [ta,0] [tb,1] SPECT_quad_voxsource.mac<br>
</font></p>
<p><br>
<font size="2">and so on. However, when running the above I get an error message indicating that
</font></p>
<p><br>
<font size="2"></font></p>
<p><font size="2">Alias <ta> not found -- command ignored</font></p>
<p><font size="2">***** Illegal parameter (0) </gate/applications/setTimeStart {ta} s> ******</font></p>
<p><br>
<font size="2"></font></p>
<p><font size="2">Does anyone who's familiar with parameterized macros know what I'm doing incorrectly? FYI I'm running Gate v_7.0 with the corresponding recommended versions Geant4/CLHEP, etc.</font></p>
<p><br>
<font size="2"></font></p>
<p><font size="2">Thanks for your help,</font></p>
<p><br>
<font size="2"></font></p>
<p><font size="2">Best regards,</font></p>
