Hello,

still can't we save polar detector data in eulumdat/ies files with ZOS-API? Is there an alternative solution? And most importantly, can we hope that it will be implemented?

Thank you!

Thanks,
but one of the hopes I had was to avoid generating the ies/ldt file myself, assuming that it would be of interest to OpticStudio users to have an API function that would do it for them ;)

@Iari.Marino 

 

The EULUMDAT File Format seem to be described here: https://docs.agi32.com/PhotometricToolbox/Content/Open_Tool/eulumdat_file_format.htm

OpticStudio also ships with a sample LDT file in your documents folder: …/Zemax/Objects/Sources/EULUMDAT/Sample.LDT. This is a text file, that can be read with any text editor.

Seems like if you extract the detector data with the ZOSAPI, you could then do the conversion yourself.

Let us know if you go down that path and get something out of it.

Otherwise, you can always keep your hopes up 😊

Take care,


David

No worries. If you implement this, you can consider contributing it to ZOSPy in that way it will be easier to distribute to other users.

Take care,
