run_control

• type: setup command.
• function: set up the number of simulation steps and passes.

&run_control
    long n_steps = 1;
    double bunch_frequency = 0;
    long n_indices = 0;
    long n_passes = 1;
&end

• n_steps -- The number of separate repetitions of the action implied by the next action command. If random errors are defined, this is also the number of separate error ensembles.
• bunch_frequency -- The frequency to use in calculating the time delay between repetitions.
• n_indices -- The number of looping indices for which to expect definitions in subsequent vary_element commands. If nonzero, then n_steps is ignored.
• n_passes -- The number of passes to make through the beamline per repetition.
