[Gate-users] RE: Save random flag versus ROOT output

[Maria Holstensson]

Hi again,

I tried to set these flags to 0 :

/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesAdderFlag 0
/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesBlurringFlag 0
/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesSpblurringFlag 0
/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesThresholderFlag 0
/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesUpholderFlag 0

first, but that didn't change much. 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!

Thanks for your help!
Maria

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.

Hope it helps,
Simon
