no_errors_for_first_step

[Max]

Dear Michael and collaborators,

when running the following .ele file:

&run_setup
lattice = fermi_bc1on_l00.lte
rootname = run2l
use_beamline = FERMI_FEL1_L00
centroid = %s.cen
default_order = 2
p_central = 9.6
random_number_seed = 040977510,
parameters = %s.param
&end

&load_parameters
filename = run1.param
change_defined_values = 1
&end

&run_control
first_is_fiducial = 1,
n_steps = 2
&end

&error_control
clear_error_settings = 1
summarize_error_settings = 1
no_errors_for_first_step = 1,
error_log = "%s.errors_l"
&end

&error_element
name=ACCT0_L00.02
item=VOLT
type="plus_or_minus"
amplitude=0.015
fractional=1
&end

&bunched_beam
&end

&track &end

It appears that:
the first step is subject to the error in spite of the instruction no_errors_for_first_step = 1
No error_log is created.

Thanks, Max

Max,

Can you try setting "reset_rf_for_each_step=0" in run_control?

If that doesn't fix it, please send me all the input files so I can run it myself.

Hi Michael,
thanks for your reply. I now have reset_rf_for_each_step = 0,
but the problem is still there. I look at the .param file.
I attach the files.
Best regards, Max

Max,

The problem is with the summarize_error_settings parameter. Although there is no way to tell this from the manual, it has to be used by itself, as in

&error_control
clear_error_settings = 1,
no_errors_for_first_step = 1,
error_log = "%s.erl",
&end

&error_element
name=ACCT0_L00.02
item=VOLT
amplitude=0.15
fractional=1
&end

&error_control
summarize_error_settings = 1
&end

I modified your file attached it. The file to look at for the error values in the .erl file. The .param file only contains the nominal values without errors.

Hi Michael,
with your correction it now works correctly, thank you very much.
Best regards, Max
