In NSC mode, in Analyse/Polarization tab/Coatings/**any** vs. Wavelength : can you confirm that the range of accessible wavelength is determined by the min/max wavelength defined in the system explorer ?

Because with only a wavelength at 10µm, only data at 10µm is displayed on the Reflection/Transmission/etc graphs, even after modifiying the “Minimum Wave”/”Maximum Wave” in the settings of the graph.

The doc mentions (Reflection vs. Wavelength (coatings, polarization group)):

“

Min Wave The minimum wavelength to plot. This defines the left edge of the plot.

Max Wave The maximum wavelength to plot. This defines the right edge of the plot.

“

but does not precise that those values must be within the system explorer wavelength range.

Hi,

can confirm this. I recall discovering this, too when I was looking at wavelength dependent reflections when only had a single system wavelength selected. The maximum range of wavelengths for this kind of analysis seems to be determined by your wavelength range defined by the system wavelengths.
