Operand to find the minimal/maximal value of other operands


superkraken

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there was an existing operand in the Merit function editor that would give the minimal value of other operands in the merit function.
To give an example, I am currently doing a Merit function which computes the encircled energies at different Field of views and at different wavelengths. I would like to optimize the minimal value of all these operands. I don’t really care what the other vaues are, I am just targetting on increasing the minimal value as much as possible.

 

I checked in the operand list in the built-in Help from Zemax but didn’t find anything that seemed to work for my application.

Thank you very much !

I think you are looking for MAXX and MINN.

You have the specify a continuous range of operands (1-5 in my screenshot above).

Take care,


David
