XMT Plots transmission as a function of field (CCL)
Question This record is outdated. It has been superceded by record #445 XMT Plots the fall in transmission as a function of relative object height arising from vignetting. It illustrates how a custom error handler prevents reference ray failures terminating execution of a CCL command. Synopsis XMT...
Information about data exchange formats for OSLO
Question I am interested in exchanging data between OSLO and other programs. How do I accomplish this? Synopsis Information about data exchange formats for OSLO Symptoms There are two main ways to exchange data between OSLO and other programs:

Tying variables together in a multi-configuration (zoom) system
Question I have a zoom system where I want a certain surface parameter to be zoomed in all configurations. However, in some configurations, I want the variables to be tied together (equivalent to each other), and in others I want them to vary independently. How do I do this? Synopsis Tying...

Modeling an optical system perturbed or altered by a working environment
Question I have a lens system that will be altered when subjected to the environment where it will be used. This environment will cause thermal and mechanical stress resulting in lens surfaces deforming to asymmetric surface shapes and glass materials changing refractive index as a function of...
Controlling a lens system to be telecentric
Question I am working on an optical model where I want the system to be telecentric in both object and image space. How do I do this? Synopsis Controlling a lens system to be telecentric Solution When a system is telecentric in both object and image space, it is called "doubly telecentric". OSLO...
