Choosing SL with Net rendering

Is there a way of defining the required SL for a network render prior to rendering?....i.e. the final SL of all maxi's combined?

Just set a Sample Level when you add the job.
It will stop the render when the sample level (merged) is reached.

What I remember I did a test for a year ago, and it worked like that back then at least :)

the math is

SL after merge=LN(1+nodes you have*(EXP(SL each node must reach*LN(1.5))-1))/LN(1.5)

or


SL each nodes must reach=LN((EXP(SL you like*LN(1.5))-1)/nodes you have+1)/LN(1.5)

hmmm
