[Gate-users] no Singles-output without visualization

Wed Aug 11 12:18:58 CEST 2010

 Hello, Phillipp

What happens if you extract "/gate/geometry/enableAutoUpdate" from the file 
"visu.mac" and include it in your main code prior to initialize step.
Let me know the result.

Regards
Navid

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

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
