I would like to run a simulation where a source is moved across a detector at different positions. I would only like to have outputs when the source is at discrete positions (so any motion/velocity of the source does not need to be included in the simulation).
My idea is to run the macro once, change the source position and re-run the same macro. However, this would be very time consuming if the step size of the detector is very small. I wanted to ask if there's any way to do this automatically? Perhaps running
several macros after another which each one having a different source position. I've tried this by running a macro consisting of : </div>

<div>but GATE gives me "<span>GateSourceMgr::CheckSourceName : ERROR : source name <source1> already exists
</span>error. Perhaps I need to clear all source initialisations before running the next macro? </div>
