[mcxtrace-users] error

[Peter Kjær Willendrup]

Dear Ali,


Please try to take just a little time reading the error messages before simply posting them here… :-) Even though they are not always easy to understand, they always provide some sort of information.

The error message is:
“Unmatched actual parameter filename for component Monitor()”

- which means that the Monitor() component does not have a filename parameter. From the mxdoc documentation accessible via "Help (MxDoc)” -> "Component Library Index” you will find that the only parameters of Monitor.comp are these:

xmin:     Lower x bound of detector opening (m)
xmax:     Upper x bound of detector opening (m)
ymin:     Lower y bound of detector opening (m)
ymax:     Upper y bound of detector opening (m)
xwidth:   Width of detector. Overrides xmin,xmax. (m)
yheight:  Height of detector. Overrides ymin,ymax. (m)
restore_xray: If set, the monitor does not influence the xray state (1)

- Meaning: No filename. Monitor.comp just measures intensity as a scalar number, printed to the simulation terminal. If you need file-based output, please use one of the other monitors that do allow a filename.


Best regards and have a nice weekend,

Peter Willendrup

Hi
What is the problem with definition component Monitor:

COMPONENT backdet = Monitor(filename="back.dat", xwidth=500e-6, yheight=85e-6)
 AT (500e-6,0,(d3+0.01)) RELATIVE Origin
the error is attached.
Thanks
