The added advancements in the latest Oslo improve the flexibility and open architecture of the program, allowing the user to modify, customise and adapt the program to the users' specific needs.
Among the highlights of the new Oslo 6.4.3 release is an added CCL command which accesses and copies any Oslo plot or graphic to the MS Windows clipboard as a bitmap.
This command exposes this cut and paste functionality so it can be used in any Oslo macro and enables Oslo users to have greater control and flexibility in creating custom Oslo macro programs.
Another highlight of the Oslo 6.4.3 release is an update of Modulation Transfer Function reports so that the analysis now utilises field points from the field point set with both x-field and y-field data.
This enables users to more conveniently quantify MTF system performance over a two-dimensional field.
Furthermore, the surface form of the anamorphic aspheric surface is now more accurately described by the surface curvature and the conic constant, allowing the Oslo users to reliably model general anamorphic surface shapes without the control problems usually associated with spline surfaces.
The Oslo global variable referencing surface based interferometer files is now a function of both the surface number as well as the instance number of the interferometer file on a particular surface.
Consequently, the user is now able to access this data via CCL and DLL commands, recognising whether the multiple interferometer files contain wavefront, surface or filter data.
This provides Oslo macros with the capability to provide convenient feedback to the user as to the source and type of an error added to any optical surface in the design and enables the user to perform complex tolerance modelling to predict the as-built performance of real optical systems.
