Good day. Where is the ZMX File Specification to be found? I used it last year, but now can't remember where I saw it.



 

Hi Jacob,



Are you referring to the Prescription Data Report? If you are, this can be found by following the steps below:

Good day, again. No, I mean the specification for the ZMX file format. The ZMX file is a text file. For example for the Double Gauss 28° file it begins with.

Where is this file specification published, what which command means?


Hello Jacob, 



The documentation you are referring to is not included in the Help System anymore as of ~2005. Do you have a specific application that you need this information for? Perhaps there is a workaround I could suggest?
