Hi,
I have a stub containing only one Binary2 surface. If I go to (Analyze | Surface | Phase) the plot is empty. The respective “Sag” plot shows the curvature. Why is that? If I look at the following post I would expect the phase plot to work. Where is my mistake?
Cheers

Hi Fabian,
Thanks for your post here on the Community forums.
It seems that the problem is that you assigned non-zero coefficients to the surface Sag polynomials instead of the surface Phase polynomials. In order to modify the phase of the surface, please make sure to define the Maximum Term #, set the Normalization Radius, and define non-zero values on the Coeff on rho^2, Coeff on rho^4, etc parameters, as shown below:
You may find more details about the Binary 2 surface in the Help system at:
The Setup Tab > Editors Group (Setup Tab) > Lens Data Editor > Sequential Surfaces (lens data editor) > Binary 2 (sequential surfaces, lens data editor)
Further discussions can be found in these knowledgebase articles:

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Best,
Csilla
