Especially to get an overview about what is possible, and which commands exist without having to go through the wiki section by section. Of course, detailed information should still be looked up.
My suggestion is to give a short config snippet for the most common building blocks. [This PDF](https://pandas.pydata.org/Pandas_Cheat_Sheet.pdf) might be a good guideline what I mean.

For each radial value not only the field values, but also the first, second and third order derivatives wrt theta are read in. However, it seems that in the code the values of these derivatives are not used and instead are recalculated from the field values.

In this case MAXSTEPS and STEPSPERTURN are very important and depending on how they are set, the results of the simulation could change!!
Based on LAT_RINIT, the circumference of the equivalent closed-ring is evaluated and divided into a number of sectors specified by STEPSPERTURN. Higher is STEPSPERTURN and smaller are the sectors. MAXSTEPS sets how many of the STEPSPERTURN are performed.
It also important to remark that:
if MAXSTEPS > STEPSPERTURN, then OPAL goes through again the ring, that is not closed.adelmannadelmann
