How to do an image simulation of line-scan sensor in zemax to get an area sensor alike image?

Hi zemaxers

 I am trying to do a line scan optical system image simulation. 

And the first thing I thought is multi-configuration. It makes different layouts to show as one visually, but I am wondering is it possible to show different image surfaces to show as one in sequential mode or different detectors as one in non-sequential mode? I checked the zemax help but did not find the solution.

 

Could you kindly give me some advice on it ?

Thanks

Hi Yongtao,

You can certainly use multi-configurations, but if you want high resolution you may need a LOT of configurations and that gets cumbersome. It might be easier to just do the loop within a macro or ZOS-API, so you

position the object
trace rays
get the line image

and then just loop over the possible object positions with whatever step size you want.
