Dear Adam,

Whenever you try a new analysis in the ZOS-API, I strongly suggest evaluating the property HasAnalysisSpecificSettings. If True, this property tells you that the settings have been fully implemented in the ZOS-API and you don’t need to use the ModifySettings method.

In the case of Geometric Image Analysis, you can type:

geo = TheSystem.Analyses.New_GeometricImageAnalysis()
print(geo.HasAnalysisSpecificSettings)

And it should print True.

It is a bit tricky to find in the Syntax Help (you need to click on IAS_ in the analysis interface next to GetSettings() and then find the square box which points to the Geometric Image Analysis), but these are the specific settings of Geometric Image Analysis:

 The way you use these settings are as follow:

geo = TheSystem.Analyses.New_GeometricImageAnalysis()

# Geometric Image Analysis Settings
geo_settings = geo.GetSettings()

# Wavelength
geo_settings.Wavelength.SetWavelengthNumber(1)

# Field
geo_settings.Field.SetFieldNumber(1)

# Field size
geo_settings.FieldSize = 1.0

# Apply settings and run analysis
geo.ApplyAndWaitForCompletion()

I hope this helps. Take care,

David

Hi David,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I saw that it has the specific settings flag True but couldn’t find the methods in the documentation---until now!

Does your code run for you?

geo_settings does not show the official methods. I tried running your code and get an AttributeError

# Geometric Image Analysis
geo = TheSystem.Analyses.New_GeometricImageAnalysis()

# Geometric Image Analysis Settings
geo_settings = geo.GetSettings()

# Wavelength
geo_settings.Wavelength.SetWavelengthNumber(1)

Traceback (most recent call last):

  Cell Ine15], line 1
    geo_settings.Wavelength.SetWavelengthNumber(1)

AttributeError: 'IAS_' object has no attribute 'Wavelength'

The documentation says it’s implemented, but the behavior I’m seeing is as if it isn’t…

Thanks for any insight

Yes, the piece of code I gave you run on my machine (Python 3.8.13, Pythonnet 2.5.2).

What version of Pythonnet are you using? It should be 2.5.2 or older. If you find that you are running Pythonnet 3.0, please try 2.5.2. There have been issues with analyses and pythonnet > 2.5.2. Also, I don’t know if Pythonnet 2.5.2 is compatible with Python 3.10.9, you should check that out. Have a look at that perhaps:

Take care,

David

Brilliant! pythonnet version solved it.

Thanks for your help!
