Issues Resolved in CODE V 10.7 SR1

This service release corrects several issues, including the following:

• Fixes an issue in which the Distortion-Y (DIY) optimization constraint and database item could be incorrect for zero fields in Y.
  
  
• Fixes an issue in which adding a paraxial image solve could delete a thickness pickup.
  
  
• Fixes an issue where erroneous ray error messages were generated when analyzing Lateral Color (Analysis > Diagnostics > Lateral Color Plot menu).
  
  
• Fixes an issue in which additional blank lines were introduced in the Wavefront Error analysis (WAV).  This could impact Worksheet buffer macros.
  
  
• Fixes an issue that incorrectly set the working folder when it was set by a user to a mapped network drive that required credentials to access.
  
  
• Fixes a GUI-only issue in which the aperture size could not be modified in the Zoom Data Review window.
  
  
• Fixes an issue in which Fast Wavefront Differential tolerancing output (TOR) would sometimes list “NaN” (Not a number)
  
  
• Fixes a GUI issue in which rows or multiple cells could not be copied/pasted within a CODE V session, or between separate CODE V sessions.
  
  
• Fixes an issue where Renormalization (RNR) fails when the base surface is not defined over the starting normalization radius (NRADIUS) value, but is defined over the new NRADIUS value.
  
  
• Fixes an issue where an interaction when using an Afocal – Infinity corrected perfect lens (AFI) and multiple zoom positions could corrupt a .LEN file if the lens is dezoomed.
  
  
• Fixes an issue in which the diffraction square-wave MTF computation in Field Map analysis (FMA) computed geometrical sine-wave MTF, and vice versa.
  
  
• Fixes issues in Field Map analysis (FMA) where a 2D field analysis of wavefront polynomial coefficients or PSF centroid-based distortion was incorrect if the user first ran a similar 1D analysis.
  
  
• Fixes an issue where SPOTDATA and RMSSPOT macro functions could generate critical errors if an out-of-range zoom position was specified.
  
  
• Fixes an issue with the Lens > System Data > Fields/Vignetting > Convert Fields… feature (i.e., an issue in the CNVTFIELD macro function), related to field specifications that were required to be zoomed, when changed.
  
  
• Fixes a GUI-only issue in the LDM Window where the default aperture size on SI was not updating correctly.

OSA Freeform Optics Conference

OSA is sponsoring a Freeform Optics conference on June 7-11, 2015, which is co-chaired by one of our engineers, Dr. Kevin Rolland-Thompson, Group Director, Research and Development, Optics. Invited speakers from both industry and academia are scheduled to speak on the latest developments on optical design, optical system simulation, surface representation, and more. A presentation will be made by Dr. Bill Cassarly of Synopsys entitled "Assessing freeform illumination surface tolerances."

The conference will be held at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel in Arlington, Virginia. For more details, please visit the OSA website. Online registration for this conference is now open.
