Hi all,

A quick question - I want to use the data from tracking 13 particles (with no 
space charge) to determine the transfer matrix and therefore tunes in a more 
accurate way than the 2 particle method currently used. This is a standard 
technique in other tracking codes.

Using OPAL-CYCL, when I try tracking 13 particles by using the "fromfile" 
command for the distribution, data for all 13 particles is dumped fine into 
the .h5 file, but is there any way to get the phase space data of all 13 
particles to dump to a non-h5 file? (I note that the trackOrbit file is only 
saving information about one or two particles...? Can this be used for all 13 
somehow?)

Thanks,
Suzie
