Dose calculation command file reference¶
The dose calculation command file uses the “ini file” format.
Sections¶
There are five allowed sections. Each section
Section |
Description |
---|---|
[COMMENT] |
Settings within a COMMENT section are ignored. |
[PLAN] |
Describes global settings for the plan. There is only a single PLAN section. |
[BEAM] |
Describes a single beam within a plan. There can be multiple BEAM sections. |
[PEAK] |
Describes a single energy or set of energies. There can be multiple PEAK sections. |
