Save Machine Imperfections

Before imperfections can be saved, the elements to be saved must be selected by a SELECT command. The element imperfections can then be saved to a file with the command

ESAVE,FILE=string,ALIGN=logical,FIELD=logical,ORDER=integer,RADIUS=real;

This command saves a table of errors assigned to elements on a file, using a format which can be read again by MAD to obtain the same results. This allows dumping the errors and reloading them for the same line. Field errors are saved as relative errors, and the RADIUS and ORDER must be entered as used on the EFIELD or EFCOMP commands. If OPTION,MAD8 is active, the output is given in MAD-8 format. The command has the following attributes:

FILE

The file to receive the output.

ALIGN

If true, the alignment errors are saved.

FIELD

If true, the field errors are saved.

ORDER

The order used for normalizing, like on EFIELD and EFCOMP.

RADIUS

The radius used for normalizing, like on EFIELD and EFCOMP.
