slice_analysis

• type: setup command.
• function: set parameters for slice analysis of the beam along a beamline. Also, results in placing the final slice analysis (at the end of the beamline) in symbols for use in optimization equations. The names of the symbols are the same as the names of the columns in the output file.

• output -- The (incomplete) filename of the output file. Recommended value is ``
• n_slices -- Number of slices to use.
• s_start, s_end -- Position in beamline at which to start and stop performing slice analysis.
• final_values_only -- If nonzero, then slice quantities are computed only at the end of the beamline.
