Question I notice that the a_menu.ccl file defines the OSLO menu and toolbar structure. This means that it can be altered by any user. I also note that there is a special text window toolbar and graphics window toolbar, each named _USER_TOOLS_ . How do I get these toolbars to appear and how do I...
Question "I have performed a Grid Raytrace in my model, and TracePro is reporting multiple "overlapping object" error messages. I have looked over the geometry, and there are several coincident surfaces, but no overlapping objects. What is causing these error messages, and how can this be...
TracePro sets itself apart from other optical and illumination design software solutions with its uniquely friendly and intuitive graphical user interface. Mechanical engineers and others familiar with CAD software will experience the shortest learning curve with TracePro. TracePro is a standard...
Question We were trying to import a WYKO .int file for a customer. Our older WYKO 6000 interferometers did not have an option to output a file that OSLO would read. Our new WYKO RTI6100 interferometer, which runs WYKO Vision32 (2.303) does have ASCII file output, but not for OSLO, only CODE V and...
Question I edited a Texture file in Excel, saved it as a text file, then tried to use it in TracePro, but I get an error message that TracePro fails to read the Texture File. How can I resolve this? Synopsis Texture file fails to read Solution Open the Texture File in a Text Editor application...
TracePro provides a comprehensive set of tools to view and analyze results of a ray trace simulation, including: Irradiance/Illuminance Maps show irradiance, CIE xy or u'v', and true color maps of light incident on, absorbed by, or exiting a selected surface. Multiple options are available to...
Magfrenl uses a Fresnel surface to correct the geometrical aberration and a diffractive surface to correct the chromatic aberration of a simple magnifier. Magnifyr is a plano-convex singlet set up as a visual magnifier. It shows how to set up the pupils for such a system, and serves as a base...
Question Whenever I trace a chief ray, it appears as though the radius of my reference sphere is calculated to be infinite even though I have set the position of the reference sphere to follow the location of the exit pupil. What is wrong? Synopsis Reference sphere radius always calculated to be...
