Hello there,
Thanks for the mail and the help , its no problem I didn't get the mail
twice after all.
For now I have used the ecat system for the DST, 24 rings, 6*6 crystals
per block, 4 block rings,420 detectors per ring. I haven't renamed
anything , except the numbers (ring, blocks , crystals)
For the error message, I had just one root file in the directory, and I
selected 1 as number of runs, i would have expected it to stop there, or
does the number of runs start from 0 ?
Cheers
theo.
