<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for the reply. Since my previous email, I tested scans using BNL_H9.instr as downloaded from the McStas site. I was able to scan over lambda using that instr file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve attached the instr I’m using and the supplementary files it calls. When I run it with a single set of parameters, it runs fine. When I scan over a parameter, it generates output for the first value within a subdirectory “0” and creates
an empty mccode.dat file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The screenshot shows what I type in. The scan is over the IncidentCollRadius and has argument 0.002,0.0025, but it got cut off from the screen.<o:p></o:p></p>

Could this be the reason I cannot run a scan? Other than the problem with scans, the installation seems to work fine. Should I try reinstalling it using the instructions specific to proxy servers?<o:p></o:p></p>
