The difference between the 'image surface' of sequential and the 'detector' of non-sequential?

During my using OpticStudio, sometimes the exact same imaging system gets different plots in sequential and non-sequential mode.


What's the difference between the 'image surface' of sequential and the 'detector' of non-sequential? 


And how can I get information about the imaging quality?(In sequential mode there are all kinds of tools such as Rays & Spots, PSF in the image quality group. But in non-sequential mode there are only Trace Rays and Detector & Analysis group. )


For example, how can I get the PSF information using detector?

I guess, use the color detector and look at detector view setting to MTF graph can help to system performance, but actually not for that using. non sequantial using for ray trace and stray light analysis also lots of experiment.
