Question Opening a STEP file, the object is not visible unless it is selected, and after a while, I determined that the object appears white against the white TracePro background, so I changed the color. I am not sure whether this is on purpose or not, but I have to select all surfaces to change...
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...
