Hi Liz,
Just so people don’t get confused, I think you are refering to the ZPL macro langage. Because this setting is available in the ZOS-API. Here is a Python example that demonsrates how to set the polarization flag:
# Open a new Geometric Image Analysis
geo_imag_analysis = TheSystem.Analyses.New_GeometricImageAnalysis()
# Retrieve the settings of this analysis
geo_imag_settings = geo_imag_analysis.GetSettings()
# Toggle the polarization flag
geo_imag_settings.UsePolarization = True
# Apply settings and run the analysis
geo_imag_analysis.ApplyAndWaitForCompletion()
Take care,
David
Hi @liz_strong,
The results of geometric image analysis aren’t fully implemented as I can tell. So, parsing the text file seems the way to go as @MichaelH suggested.
I’m not sure if that’s what you want, but you can also evaluate a single Merit Function operand, such as IMAE, with the GetOperandValue method from the Merit Function Editor interface.
In Python, you’d do something like so:
from ZOSAPI.Editors.MFE import MeritOperandType
efficiency = TheSystem.MFE.GetOperandValue(MeritOperandType.IMAE, 0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
print("Efficiency: " + str(efficiency * 100) + "%")
The ouptut looks like so:
Efficiency: 100.0%
Does that help?
Take care,
David
Hi David,
Is there a way to extract the percent efficiency using the zos api?
# get results
geo_imag_results = geo_imag_analysis.GetResults()
# extract percent efficiency
The output I’m looking for would be the same as what I can calculate with IMAE in the merit function.
In this post, @MichaelH discusses saving and then parsing a .txt file with this information. Do you know if there is a quicker/more streamlined way to do this?
Thanks!
Liz
