So I have a NSC system consisting in multiple mirrors and with 3 Detectors. I was using the ray trace tool with only 1 analysis ray and then optimizing with the Merit Function editor until some weird optimization started to happen. Then I read this sentence in the Help system:

Note the segments NSRA is not listed in same order as in ZRD. For example, for a same ray, the segment with Seg# =17 in NSRA is not same to the 17th segment listed in ZRD.

 

How can I know the number of the segment I want to optimize then for the NSRA operand?
