Hello Erik, Frank, all,

yes, I would only compute and output the constraints on the coarse
level timestep.

CarpetMask is active and set up (Ian had thankfully already pointed
this out).

Ok, I will add isum and inorm2 to the output.Currently I had norm_inf,
norm1 and norm2. Really these are only intended to check for obvious
errors in the parameter file the make the contraints grow.

Yours,
Roland
