Is there a way to set the surface number for a genc/genf Merit function, as i would like to work it on an intermediate surface? Thanks

That’s what I thought. Would be nice to have more uniformity across operands in this regard. I can toss this suggestion into the hopper, but I’m not holding my breath for a change anytime soon...
However, on the plus side, all of the analysis options are available for control through the ZOS-API. So, if a user really wanted maximum flexibility, it looks like a UDOC operand could be implemented with a custom C++ compiled client program. Certainly doable , but not as easy as hitting a SAVE button.
Yes. Use IMSF (image surface) prior to your GENC operands to define what the image surface is. It’s a really useful operand, and you can use it multiple times so you can define multiple image surfaces.
Hey Mark,
Here’s a related question. In some cases, hitting the SAVE button on a group of analysis settings forces a corresponding merit function operand to use those settings (unless explicitly overridden by one or more of the operand input values) -- a common example is IMAE. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case for GENC & GENF.
So, is there any way to control parameter settings that are not part of the operand input? For example, “Use Polarization” and “Scatter Rays” ?
Thx,
Jeff
