Loading and saving detector files

The detector is actually in a separate file from rest of the input properties, enabling you to save and load a suitable detector while working on your simulations. The detectors should be saved using the extension .det, so as to avoid confusion with file types, although this is not strictly necessary.

Important: When a simulation is saved, a reference to the detector used with the simulation is also saved. When a saved simulation is opened, AASI will look for the corresponding detector in the same location as the opened simulation and, failing that, in the detectors subdirectory of your AASI directory.

The detector management is handled by two buttons:

Load detector button

Loads a detector from a file. Pressing the button pops up a file selection dialog from which the desired detector file can be selected.
Save detector button

Saves the detector into a file. Pressing the button pops up a file selection dialog which can be used to specify the save file.
