Extracting 2D wavefront map data

Question

Is there a way to extract numerical values from a 2D wavefront map? All I seem to be able to do is generate a 2D wavefront map plot.

Solution

A new command (GWF) was added in the 6.2.2a release of OSLO to perform just the task you are requesting. The GWF() command is documented in the OSLO on-line help. When using the command, data is sent to an array, so the command really needs to be accessed from a short CCL program. An example of the required program is documented in the online help.
