Hi all,

I have a quick question regarding the output file <input_file_name >.h5 produced by Opal-T.

What exactly is the longitudinal coordinate "z"? Going by section 6.5 of the documentation (and using the default flag "OPTION, PSDUMPFRAME=GLOBAL;") it should be set with reference to a fixed floor position, but the values from the dump frame appear relative to another moving point.

Thanks,

Scott Williams
