Card 7: Requested output times
------------------------------

Refer to Section :ref:`4.3 <time-explanation-ex>` for an example utilizing these parameters.

.. _`param:itout`:

.. rst-class:: no-caption-number

.. list-table:: **ITOUT** :phits-other:`PHITS: other means`
   :header-rows: 0

   * - Value
     - Description
   * - (D=1)
     - Number of times at which outputting of results is requested.

**Card 7a: Time listings**

Each of the following 2 entries must be listed on a single line, separated by any nonzero number of spaces, and this sequence must be repeated ``ITOUT`` times on ``ITOUT`` lines.

.. _`param:tmin`:

.. rst-class:: no-caption-number

.. list-table:: **TMIN** :phits-same:`PHITS: same name`
   :header-rows: 0

   * - Value
     - Description
   * -
     - Time at which output is requested. These time values are the amount of time elapsed from a reference time, not the lengths of time steps. If ``TMIN``\ :math:`>`\ 0.0, the time corresponds to time elapsed since the beginning of the first time step. If ``TMIN``\ :math:`<`\ 0.0, the time corresponds to the time elapsed since the end of the final irradiation time step (where ``BEAMPW``\ :math:`>`\ 0.0)

.. _`param:tminu`:

.. rst-class:: no-caption-number

.. list-table:: **TMINU** :phits-same:`PHITS: same name`
   :header-rows: 0

   * - Value
     - Description
   * -
     - Time units of ``TMIN`` expressed as a single character. Acceptable entries are seconds (s), minutes (m), hours (h), days (d), and years (y).

(Note: These times must all be before the end of the calculation as calculated by the sum of the ``TBIN`` values.)
