The SaveIterChpoint() is started as follows:

iterative.c

static void ProgressReport(void)
...
{
    ...
	// check condition for checkpoint; checkpoint is saved at first time
	if (chp_type!=CHP_NONE && chp_time!=UNDEF && complete) {
		time(&wt);
		elapsed=difftime(wt,last_chp_wt);
		if (chp_time<elapsed) {
			SaveIterChpoint();
			time(&last_chp_wt);
			if (chp_type!=CHP_REGULAR) chp_exit=true;
		}
	}
    ...

The chp_time is set as follows:

param.c

PARSE_FUNC(chpoint)
{
	chp_time=ScanTime(argv[1]);
	if (chp_time<=0) {
		chp_time=UNDEF;
		if (chp_type==CHP_NONE) chp_type=CHP_ALWAYS;
	}
	else if (chp_type==CHP_NONE) chp_type=CHP_NORMAL;
}

The chpoint is defined as:

param.c

	{PAR(chpoint),"<time>","Specifies the time for checkpoints in format '#d#h#m#s'. All fields are optional, numbers "
		"are integers, 's' can be omitted, the format is not case sensitive.\n"
		"Examples: 12h30M, 1D10s, 3600",1,NULL},

I could use them as:

$ ./adda -chp_type normal -chpoint 1s

However, because the calculation takes only 0.3 seconds, the checkpoint was not created. I need to increase the size parameter of the calculation or increase the number of dipoles.
