* ``external_file``: Inject macroparticles with properties (mass, charge, position, and momentum - :math:`\gamma \beta m c`) read from an external openPMD file.
With it users can specify the additional arguments:
``<species_name>.injection_file`` (`string`) openPMD file name and
- ``<species_name>.q_tot`` (`double`) optional (default is ``q_tot=0`` and no re-scaling is done, ``weight=q_p``) when specified it is used to re-scale the weight of externally loaded ``N`` physical particles, each of charge ``q_p``, to inject macroparticles of ``weight=<species_name>.q_tot/q_p/N``.
``<species_name>.charge`` (`double`) optional (default is read from openPMD file) when set this will be the charge of the physical particle represented by the injected macroparticles.
``<species_name>.mass`` (`double`) optional (default is read from openPMD file) when set this will be the charge of the physical particle represented by the injected macroparticles.
``<species_name>.z_shift`` (`double`) optional (default is no shift) when set this value will be added to the longitudinal, ``z``, position of the particles.
+ Warning: ``q_tot!=0`` is not supported with the ``external_file`` injection style. If a value is provided, it is ignored and no re-scaling is done.
The external file must include the species ``openPMD::Record`` labeled ``position`` and ``momentum`` (`double` arrays), with dimensionality and units set via ``openPMD::setUnitDimension`` and ``setUnitSI``.
If the external file also contains ``openPMD::Records`` for ``mass`` and ``charge`` (constant `double` scalars) then the species will use these, unless overwritten in the input file (see ``<species_name>.mass``, ``<species_name>.charge`` or ``<species_name>.species_type``).
The ``external_file`` option is currently implemented for 2D, 3D and RZ geometries, with record components in the cartesian coordinates ``(x,y,z)`` for 3D and RZ, and ``(x,z)`` for 2D.
