Did you know TracePro now features a Sequence Editor?

The Sequence Editor brings sequential ray tracing capabilities to TracePro. Sequential raytracing is the tool of choice for many aspects of lens and imaging system design. The Sequence Editor uses an updated interface for entering the lens parameters, such as radius of curvature, semi-diameter, material, coatings, aperture shape and size, thickness, and position.

Lenses and optical systems can be transferred from the Sequence Editor to TracePro with the click of a button. This capability allows users to analyze imaging system-based metrics and then easily transfer the model to TracePro for additional analysis such as stray light and ghost analysis. This lets each tool do what it does best.

The Sequence Editor is available in the Standard and Expert editions of TracePro.

The new Sequence Editor brings some of the capabilities of our OSLO product into TracePro, expanding the capabilities of TracePro.
