output of the phase space coordinates at mutiple locations

One can get the final phase space coordinates in Elegant in the "%s.out". Maybe sometimes one needs to inspect the phase space evolutions in tracking. Is it possible to get the phase space coordinates in the intermediate locations of tracking? Thanks.

Yes, you can do this by inserting WATCH elements into the beamline. The insert_elements command can help with this if you want many such elements.
E.g., to put a WATCH element at every quadrupole, try
&insert_elements
name=*, type=*QUAD*,
element_def = "WQ: WATCH,FILENAME=%s-%03ld.wq,mode=coordinate"
&end
Of course, having many of these may generate a lot of data and make the simulation run more slowly.
