It looks like it's telling you to use `-max_images`

# Oblique EPI in afni

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-03-19)

It is my very first time with afni and I am having problems with the creation of the afni dataset from dicom images.
I runned:
Dimon -infile_prefix IM -gert_create_dataset

and I got this error:
Dimon version 4.18 (November 9, 2016) running, use  to quit...

-- scanning for first volume
++ Data detected to be oblique
** cannot find a volume in 4400 image files
   (max allowable = 3000, see -max_images)

As I want to keep my EPI dataset oblique I added the -use_obl_origin option running:
Dimon -infile_prefix IM -gert_create_dataset -use_obl_origin

but I still get the same error. How can I deal with this issue?
