The merit function operand that will calculate the f-theta condition is DISC.

For constraining the system to be telecentric, you can do a few things.

You can,

  1. Use the RAID command to constrain incident angle of the pupil coordinates (P = 0) rays to be zero. You enter multiple RAID operands or lines and evaluate at different field coordinates (H) values.
  2. You can use the exit pupil position (EXPP) operand and set the target distance to a very large (near infinite) value to the left (negative value). Instead of optimizing on a large value, you can use the RECI operand to reference the value of one over the EXPP and drive that to 0.
