A simulation progress bar

Identification

• Site:
• Author: Emmanuel Farhi
• Origin: ILL
• Date: 2009

Description

An indicator of the progress of the simulation, monitoring
the Init, Trace with the achieved percentage, and the Finally section.
Intermediate savings (e.g. triggered by USR2 signal) are also shown.
This component should be positioned at the very begining of the instrument
The profile option will save the intensity and number of events for each
component It may be used to evaluate the simulation efficiency.

Example: Progress_bar(percent=10,flag_save=1) AT (0,0,0)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
