CODE V Glass Catalog Updates
To update the CODE V glass catalog to the latest version, download the following files to the specified
CODE V installation directory.
Important notes:
- The glass catalog and data files were made available in December 2022.
- The current glass catalog files and data files (.XML) are compatible only with CODE V version 11.5 FCS or later.
- CODE V should not be running when you copy the new glass catalog files to the CODE V installation folder.
1. Update glass catalog files:
Download the glasscatalogs_xml.zip file and extract the XML files to the <CODEV installation directory>\GLASS folder. The files include the complete CODE V material database for homogeneous glasses.
2. Update the glass catalog data files (for macros):
Download the glasscatalogs_macro_dat.zip file and extract its contents to the <CODEV installation directory>\MACRO folder.
These files are used by Optimization > Glass Expert (GlassExpert.seq), Lens > Glass Fitting (GLASSFIT.seq) and the supplied macros VP_PLOT.seq (used for computing and plotting the index, dispersion and partial dispersion for selected glasses) and DNDTCALC.seq (used for computing absolute dn/dT values for materials in which the vendor has supplied dn/dT coefficients). These supplied macros can be accessed in the Tools > Macro Manager menu, under Sample Macros.
