Attach Special Integrators

By default the algorithm applied to each element in the machine is defined by the table command. It may be overridden for selected elements by applying a SETINTEGRATOR command to attach a special integrator. It has the form

SETINTEGRATOR,LINE=name,TYPE=name,SLICES=integer;

with the meaning

LINE

The name of the beam line to be affected.

TYPE

The integrator type name. For the time being, only the name MPSPLITINTEGRATOR is known. This integrator type replaces any multipole-like element (dipole, quadrupole, sextupole, octupole, general multipole) by one or several thin lenses.

SLICES

The number of thin lenses to be used. For one to four slices, the TEAPOT method of thin multipole slicing is used, for more slices, the thin lenses are placed in equidistant places.

The command runs through all elements in the beam line, and attaches an integrator as specified by TYPE to all selected elements.
