Input of the higher order multipoles
Posted: 29 Apr 2009, 13:52
Michael,
To input the higher order multipoles, I use the parameters like systematic_multipoles and random_multipoles for KSEXT and KQUAD. However, I felt inconvenient because I had to manually type this information into the lte file, even though the file names are the same. I can't use the load_parameter command because string is not allowed for ParameterValue.
In practice, magnets are specified in families. It is very likely that the multipole errors are the same for a family of magnets. And the difference among the family is specified as random error. Could you add a feature such that this information can be input in the ele file? Like one multipole file for one magnet family.
It would be a lot easier to input and remove.
Regards,
Weiming
