[Gate-users] no Singles-output without visualization

[Philipp Matthies]

Dear all,

thanks for your help so far. I inserted the command

	gate/{PART_OF_SPECTHEAD}/vis/setVisible 0

for every part of the SPECThead (thanks to Melanie) and also added the command

	/gate/output/ascii/enable

but my Singles.dat file stays empty...

Any further suggestions?


Cheers,

Philipp Matthies
