[Gate-users] Getting the output of the optical simulation

[Francisco Enríquez]

Dear Jebhin Im,

I believe (although I’m not completely sure!) that the reason why the *.dat file does not contain all the information that the *.root file has, is because the data from “trackLocalTime” and so on were recently implemented in GATE (since v.8.0) by UC Davis and probably only for the root output file. Besides that, rather than outputting all your data in *.dat files, I’ll recommend you use root mainly because of the level of compression that it provides (You’ll see that the output files can contain too much information, even for very simple simulations).

Attached in this email is a *.C file that converts the Hits data (from Optical Systems) from a *.root file into binary data. Feel free to use it if it’s useful for you 😊

Regards,
Francisco

Subject: [Gate-users] Getting the output of the optical simulation

 Dear GATE users,

I"m new at using GATE.
I'm simulating optical photons using "optical system" in GATE v8.0 and encountered some questions and problems.

I simulated my macro file and got the output files in .root file and .dat(ASCII) file, and found that in ASCII file there is no data what it is in the .root file. For example in .root file it has the TrackLocalTime data but in the ASCII file there is no TrackLocalTime data.
=> How can I make the output of ASCII and root files same?
