<p>Hi GATE users,</p>
<p>Please, can someone help me to understand how the acquisition parameters such as Timeslice, TimeStart and TimeStop in GATE actually work? I learnt is equivalent to real time experiment. Currently, at constant Timeslice say 0.26 s, I vary the TimeStop say
30 60, 90 s etc. I expected my dose(mGy) values to increase but the dose(mGy) actually remain the same. Is it a bug in my simulation making me to get the same results or I am wrongly implementing the acquisition parameters. Thanks.</p>
