UImanager overwrites the primary gun data?

Particles, Track, Event, Run and Biasing

Say I am firing a beam of electrons and I have already have set the parameter in my generator.cc file as

fParticleGun->SetParticleEnergy(1*MeV);

Now say if I apply the follwing command:

/gun/energy 18 keV

In the UImanager. Would that overwrite my original particle energy for the rest of the session?

It depends on the order. If you initialize the ParticleGun in your generator constructor, then the UI command will override it. If you have the explicit SetParticleEnergy call in your generator’s GeneratePrimaries() function, then the function will override the UI command.
