Changing File Source units between Radiometric and Photometric
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...

Reducing the number of configurations in a lens file
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...
Flux of Surface Source is controlled by 3 variables.
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...
