Hi Kate,
Yes, you can set individual branch addresses and read only one or a few
branches. The problem in your case is that you seem to have a branch
with an int*. You cannot read this branch alone. You also need the
accompanying branch holding the length of the array.
Currently, I assume that both the counter and the array are in the same class.
