[Gate-users] number of runs/slices

[J.J.M. Kouwenberg]

Dear Debora,

Can you send us (part of) the .mac file that you are using? That makes it easier to find the exact issue.

With kind regards,

Subject: [Gate-users] number of runs/slices

Dear GATE users,

Using the same macro and one source of activity I get an output with "slice 0 from 0 to 60 seconds".
In other simulations, adding more sources to the previous macro, I get an output with "slice 0 from 0 to 60 seconds", "slice 1 from 60 to 60 seconds" and "slice 2 from 60 to 0 seconds", and in between each message it looks like the simulation should finish (see below for the output I get in the terminal). Are these simulations running correctly? Or is there something wrong? I get my root files, but I wonder if the data in them is correct... Help!

See below for the strange output messages :
