Hello guys. I have a question. Is it possible to look only at the saved states during calculations like in Prepomax? For example, I have output frequency set at 50, so can I look only at what happened at the increments 1, 50, 100, etc? ---

Yes. In `cgx`, look in the `datasets` menu. ---

With this setting, you will get output only for the 50th and the 100th increment.
