Chris, The problem seems related to lack of new-line characters in the body of the file. For example, if I run "sdds2stream tmp.sdds -rows", it says "1 row". Also, "wc tmp.sdds" returns 22 as the number of lines---that's the header plus 1 line. When I examine the file with "od -ba tmp.sdds", it show...

Chris,

Can you post one of the files that gives the problem? I suspect a problem with end-of-line characters.

Alexey, The concat_order parameter allows controlling the order of elements that will be concatenated. For example, if you set concat_order=2, then all successive elements that are represented by a matrix of order 2 or less will be concantenated into a single 2nd-order matrix. When elements are seen...

Michele,

I suspect you are using an old version. If so, try upgrading to the latest release.

Michele, There are two issues here. One is an error in your input file, and another is the unclear nature of the link_elements command. First, in the input file you have &link_elements target = MBW1E01, item = ANGLE, source = MBX1E02, equation = ".5 *" &end This is not what you want. The equation sh...

Ding,

Sorry about that. It will be fixed in the next release (next week, I hope).

Chris,

You're right about meanCenter. I edited the post.

Chris, The quickest way to handle this is using the offset mode of sddsplot. sddsplot <listOfFilenames> -graph=dot -separate -mode=x=meanCenter -column=t,p This will compute the mean value of t for each page, then offset the coordinates by the negative of that value. Assuming all the rf systems are ...

Ding, You can use the divide_elements command to subdivide the drift spaces. For example ÷_elements name = *, type=DRIF, divisions = 10 &end This command needs to go before run_setup. The manual page is here: http://www.aps.anl.gov/Accelerator_Systems_Division/Operations_Analysis/manuals/elega...

I forgot to say, you can also have digits 0-9 in the name.
