Hi

Can you please help me to set the “Field Height” in image simulation feature.

I wish to use the image simuation feature in Wide angle sysyem, lets take for example “Wide angle lens 210 degree field.zmx” file in Zemax examples subdirectory \Sequential\Objectives. 

For a source file I took the file “Demo Picture 640X480.bmp”

What should be the Field Height in this case? The digonal field 105 degrees? or the full Horizonatl field in degress? I wish that Horizontal field to much the Height of my detector

When I turned on the feature, the deafult Field Height parameter is 148 degress ? Why?

I found this link:

https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/43071095752467-How-to-set-up-Image-Simulation-tool

but still, I dont understand what Field Height parameter should I use.

Thanks,

Talimu
