Van Thinh -

In data.ptracers you can set the file for the initial fields for the 
tracers with
PTRACERS_initialFile(*)
where * is the tracer number.

If PTRACERS_Iter0 (set in data.ptracers) is equal to nIter0 (set in
data) then the model will automatically read in the initial tracer
values from the files you've set by PTRACERS_initialFile

If nIter0>PTRACERS_Iter0 then it will read the tracer fields from
a pickup.
