Hi again!

Sorry for bothering everybody with my little problem on Friday.
I was not aware of the fact that my components 'psd2' and 'sum2'
which were supposed to monitor the beam transmitted through the 
monochromator caused the strange behaviour.
Do I need to learn how to use 'groups' to avoid this effect?
Thanks for reading my mail and for suggestions...
I am assuming there is no simple fix to teach 
McStas to respond in a more 'natural' way...

Thanks!

Uli
