Hi Jo

I have updated your title, I don't think you can. Let me know if that is ok for you.

Any objects (almost nearly all) can be changed into a detector:

Then in the Detector Viewer, you can access the results under the text tab.

This can also be read directly from the API. I have attached an example in Matlab.

Would that help?

Another way can be to read data directly from a ZRD file. An example is given here: https://support.zemax.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005577762-How-to-create-a-Time-Of-Flight-User-Analysis-using-ZOS-API

Do not hesitate if you have any further questions.

Hi

Thank you for that.  I was able to see the text for the detector object I had created from a single CAD object.

I can see also that it contained only 260 pixels.  As this CAD object is the size of a whole room, I would like more pixels than that.  Is there a way to increase the number of pixels when making an object into a detector?  I know it's possible with a detector rectangle, but I don't know how to do it from an object that has been labelled as a detector.

Thank you.

Best Regards

Jo

Hi Jo

The number of pixels is linked to the objects. For example, if the object is an OpticStudio native object, you can change the Drawing resolution to get more pixels. 

The pixels can be seen on the Shaded Model by selecting Wireframe:

For a CAD object, you have similar properties under the CAD section:

Check the help files for the definition.

Let us know if that helps and of course do not hesitate if you have any further questions.
