Question I am attempting to control the derivative increment of some variables during optimization. But whenever I set the derivative increment in the Variables Data Editor, I find that OSLO overrides it during optimization. How can I force OSLO to use my intended values? Synopsis Calculation of...
Question "I generated a ray file using ProSource 5.2 and inserted a source into TracePro. Everything looks reasonable, I just have a question regarding units: The ProSource file shows a peak intensity of 0.26 Candela while TracePro gives 0.24 W/sr as the peak intensity on the Iso-Candela plot. If I...
Question I have created a lens system that includes a Diffractive Surface described by Zernike coefficients. I note that term #32 of the Asymmetric Zernike Phase terms appears too large. Is this term calculated correctly? Synopsis Incorrect calculation of Zernike Phase term #32 Solution The...
Question Why do I see "Warning Message - out of valid wavelength range (400 to 700)", and how can I resolve the problem? Synopsis Warning Message - out of valid wavelength range (400 to 700) Solution TracePro 7.2.0 introduced a new feature in TracePro. If you select any Material Property in the...
Question I have a multi-configuration lens in OSLO and I want to save one of the configurations as a separate single-configuration OSLO file. How can I do that? Synopsis Reducing the number of configurations in a lens file Workaround You can reduce the number of configurations (zoom positions) in...
Question If a source which has a specific spectral profile is used for raytracing, how is the power, in FC or in lumen whichever, in each wavelength calculated? I'd like to know the relation between the weighting of each wavelength in RaytraceOption/Wavelength and the set flux power on...
