The starting integer seed for the random number generator used for determining photon locations and reflection probabilities. The default name for the FITS file that contains information on the construction parameters of the x-ray telescopes. This parameter specifies whether a mask is present over the telescope aperture. The current code always assumes the presence of a mask so this parameter has no effect. This control feature is inherited from the original Nagoya program.
Present code assumes no difference between the four telescopes.
This parameter is provided for future possible use. Do not attempt to set it unless you clearly understand the code in this subroutine. Do not attempt to set it unless you clearly understand the code in this subroutine. This parameter allows control over informational messages from the program while it is running. Currently, YES will output a terminal message showing the current energy and photon traced count every 10,000 photons.
