Suggestions and reporting some bugs #26

I am reporting these issues by suggestion of Dr. Bruno Golosio, as a summary of things we found in a collaboration for validation of xrmc for medical applications...

  1. There is a size defined for the name of the devices files, it would be nice have this information in manual and the program would have erros message about that.
  2. RoundFlag is not working (in my Linux and Mac installation). When this flag is activated, it do not rounding the counting on the photon fluence.
  3. The "Seed" was not automated changed, by the internal computer timer, in my installation. I know it can happened, but it would be interesting to have an easy way of set it in the run command line (as a parameter sent to the detector device), instead of need to change the DetectorDevice file (I used an automated way by calling sed command, but it could be easier).
  4. It would be nice to have the definition of the head parameters printed out in the output files (when the head flag is turned on) in the manual, so it will be easier to the user keep the traceability of data. In the head file it would be interesting to add the used seeds and the running time. This information is printed out in the shell with a lot of other information, but they are quite important for the validation project we are working and will save time and work, on extra files, to have it in the head of the generated output files.
  5. It would be great to have the Monte Carlo method statistical fluctuations of the simulated quantities printed out with the simulated quantity . This is an important issue for dosimetry production and use it in the future in the hospital routine.

Best to xrmc working team, Gabriela

qaboutxrmcsaveto Hi! I tried tomography in according to your suggestion - firstly to try examples, then modify them and only then - to create my own experiments. I have problem with acquiring images from tomography experiment(xrmc-master/examples/xrmc_hands_on), describes in (downloaded from github zip) xrmc-master folder (OS windows10). But, unfortunately the error emerge (on attached prtscr). How can I avoid it and get tomo-images? Thx in advance

It looks unhappy with the Unix slashes. You may want to try substituting '/' with '\' in the input-file and try again.

Thanks, Tom! That's amazing and it work for me. I changed all "wrong" slashes(inside input.dat) to that you pointed (as you pointed out) - and now I'm happy.
