[Gate-users] no Singles-output without visualization

[Philipp Matthies]

Dear Farzaneh,

here are the relevant parts of my macro:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/control/saveHistory
/run/verbose 2
/event/verbose 1
/tracking/verbose 1
/gate/timing/setTime 0. s


# ------- Visualization ----------------------
#/control/execute ../gate_scripts/visu.mac
/vis/disable


# ------- World ------------------------------
/gate/world/geometry/setXLength 32. cm
/gate/world/geometry/setYLength 30. cm
/gate/world/geometry/setZLength 16. cm
/gate/world/setMaterial Air

[...]

# ------- I N I T I A L I Z E ----------------
/run/initialize

[...]

# ------- Output -----------------------------
# ASCII Output format
/gate/output/ascii/setFileName gate
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileHitsFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesFlag 1
/gate/output/ascii/setSingleMask 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1

# ROOT Output format
#/gate/output/root/setFileName rootout
#/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesFlag 1


# ------- PROJECTION -------------------------
# Makes a set of projections from the crystal hits
# Define the binning the projection module to be used
/gate/output/projection/disable
#/gate/output/projection/pixelSizeX 1.56 mm
#/gate/output/projection/pixelSizeY 1.56 mm
#/gate/output/projection/pixelNumberX 16
#/gate/output/projection/pixelNumberY 16

# Specify the projection plane (XY, YZ or ZX)
#/gate/output/projection/projectionPlane YZ


# EXPERIMENT
# Define the parameters of the experiment  (start time, stop time and time slice)
# The number of projections depends on the number of time slice, the rotation speed of the system and the 
# number of heads
/gate/application/setTimeSlice    2. s
/gate/application/setTimeStart     0. s
/gate/application/setTimeStop     2. s


# VERBOSITY
/control/verbose 0
/grdm/verbose 0
/run/verbose 0
/event/verbose 0
/tracking/verbose 0
/gate/application/verbose 0
/gate/generator/verbose 0
/gate/stacking/verbose 0
/gate/event/verbose 0
/gate/source/verbose 0
/gate/output/projection/verbose 0
/gate/output/verbose 0

/gate/application/startDAQ

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The file 'visu.mac' contains the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ------- Visualization ----------------------
/vis/open OGLSX
/vis/viewer/reset
/vis/viewer/set/viewpointThetaPhi 60 60
/vis/viewer/zoomTo 1
/vis/viewer/set/style surface
/vis/drawVolume
/tracking/storeTrajectory 1
/vis/scene/endOfEventAction accumulate 1000000
/vis/viewer/update
/gate/geometry/enableAutoUpdate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem is when I use the command /control/execute ../gate_scripts/visu.mac (WITH VISUALIZATION) I get the expected output, both ROOT and ascii.
When I comment the line before and uncomment the line /vis/disable (without visualization) the ascii output (i.e. gateSingles.dat) IS EMPTY!

Cheers,

Philipp Matthies
