Tolerance analysys in multiconf

Dear All,


Sorry for this potential stupid question, I'm relatively a new optics studio user.


I have an optical system with several configurations (several channels, to optimize pupil and image). I would like to perform a tolerance analysis and need to implement in the process a compensator to keep the collimation of my first optics.


What is the easiest way for that ?


- I though to create a new configuration and implement a paraxial lens and use the object frontal distance as a compensator. Problem: I didn't see how to change the surface type in the multi config area to implement a paraxial lens.


- is it better to use a tolerancing script using the CMCO operand ?


Other point, if I want to make a sequentlial analysis reprodcing my alignment procedure, is the best way to use the ZOS-API function for that ?


Thank a lot in advance for your help

Hi Laurent


I think I would use a tolerancing script using the CMCO operand. The advantage is that a tolerance script can reproduce an alignment procedure as you can load different merit functions / compensators at each step.


I didn't find a multi-configuration operand for surface type either, so what you could is add the surface and ignore them in the other configuration.


Let us know if you need further help.
