[Gate-users] Gate on PC and cluster

[Simon Stute]

Hi Yaven,

Maybe I have a hint, but it is not sure (I don't really remember versions
...).
In GATE, there was some uninitialized values in the code, especially the
acolinearityFlag, and acolinearityFWHM angle, when using backtoback.
So the behavior was totally random, and impossible to reproduce from a
machine to another. Coincidence counts got totally crazy...

To sum up, in case the acolinearityFlag decides to be TRUE, it enter the
peace of code to shoot the acolinearity angle. So in this code, it uses the
uninitialized acolinearityFWHM (most of the time something like
0.2476512E+-248), and results in wrong results.

To try to force the acolinearityFlag to be false (or true if you want !) be
always use this 2 commands :

/gate/source/pt1/setAccolinearityFlag true
/gate/source/pt1/setAccoValue 0.5 deg

(adapt its to the name of your source of course).

Hope it works !
Simon
