Description

Detector-like component writing neutron state parameters to a
VITESS neutron filename. Used to interface McStas components or
simulations into VITESS. Each neutron is 104 bytes.

Note that when standard output is used, as is the default, no
monitors or other components that produce terminal output must be
used, or the neutron output from this component will become
corrupted.

Example: Vitess_output(filename="MySource.vit", bufsize = 10000, progress = 1)

%BUGS
This component will NOT work with parallel execution (MPI).

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
filename	string	Filename of neutron file to write. Default is standard output	0
bufsize	records	Size of neutron output buffer	10000
progress	flag	If not zero, output dots as progress indicator	0

AT (	,	,		) RELATIVE		Generate
ROTATED (	,	,		) RELATIVE
