CODE V 9.70 Service Release 3

CODE V Glass Catalog Updates (Sept. 2006)

CODE V 9.70 Update: Service Release 3

The CODE V 9.70 Service Release 3 (SR3) provides the following fixes and enhancements:

  • In the 1-D Partial Coherence option (PAR), the normalization was incorrect in CODE V 9.70 when creating a 1D PAR plot for a system with multiple wavelengths. This issue has been fixed for coherent and partially coherent illumination. However, there are some remaining issues for the analysis with incoherent illumination (i.e., RNA ≥ 2.). Please click here for more information.

  • After starting CODE V Automatic Design using the GUI (Optimization menu), clicking the Stop button on the Automatic Design status window, which shows the progress of optimization, failed to interrupt the optimization process. This has been fixed.

  • The Gaussian Beam Trace (BEA) feature was ignoring polynomial aspheric coefficients higher than 10th order on an "ASPHERE" (ASP) surface type. This has been fixed.

  • For the Field Map (FMA) 1-D slice plot (SLC, a new feature in 9.70), the Y-axis label were incorrect for vector performance metrics. The 1-D slice plots the magnitude of the selected performance metric vs. field, and now the Y-axis is correctly labeled for the magnitude of the performance.

  • In the Field Map option (FMA), the 2D computation was incorrect for some performance metrics (for example, FFD DST) when more than 15 field points were entered (NFX, NFY). This has been fixed. In addition, FMA now allows an array of up to 201 x 201 field points to be entered. Note that this bug did not exist in CODE V 9.61 or earlier versions.

  • The TSF CHA TA G2D|U2D 0 command is used by Tolerancing > User - Monte Carlo (TOLMONTE macro). The G2D|U2D keywords were introduced in CODE V 9.60 to select a truncated Gaussian (default) or uniform tolerance probability distribution for 2D decenter tolerance types. In 9.60 and 9.70, the tolerance probability distribution was incorrectly applied for several of the applicable tolerance types. This is now fixed.

  • The dates listed in the Cost Analysis (COS) output for Schott, Ohara, Pilkington, and China have been updated.

  • The Real Ray Trace (RSI) from the command line can be run with or without a wavelength (W) qualifier. If the wavelength qualifier is omitted, CODE V should always trace the system at the reference wavelength. However, CODE V sometimes traced a non-reference wavelength when the wavelength qualifier was omitted. This bug is now fixed.

  • Fixes to user-reported issues when using the COM API. Users have reported intermittent occurrences of communication breakdowns ("hanging") and program crashes. Several different issues have been identified and resolved in this Service Release to make the COM API more robust. If you still encounter COM API problems after installing this Service Release, please report the problems to ORA Customer Service.

  • A new immediate command, REC, enables (REC Yes) or disables (REC No) recording of data in the CODE V recovery file (by default named codev.rec), which contains a command record of your session input, and can be used to re-create your interactive CODE V session in the event of a system crash. Disabling the recording of data in the recovery file can speed up the execution of COM clients. However, REC Yes is recommended for general CODE V usage, and is the default.

    The command syntax is:
    REC [ Yes | No ]

CODE V 9.70 SR3 also includes the September 2006 update to the CODE V glass catalog. Please check our website periodically for future updates.

The SR3 will update any existing CODE V 9.70 executable. Therefore, you must have version 9.70 or a subsequent 9.70 Service Release installed on your PC before applying the patch.

If you still encounter problems after installing this Service Release, please report them to ORA Customer Service.

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. You may wish to save the original files in another folder, in case you encounter any problems.

Note: CODE V should not be running when you copy the new GLASS.CAT file to the CODE V installation folder.

1. To the CODEV9xx\GLASS folder:

This file contains the complete CODE V material database for homogeneous glasses.

GLASS.CAT (1.49 MB)

2. To the CODEV9xx\MACRO folder:

Extract the contents of this .zip file to the CODEV9xx/MACRO folder.
glasscatalogs.zip (42 KB zipped, 111 KB extracted)

Contains the following glass catalog data files used by the GLASSFIT & VP_PLOT sample macros:

  • CHINA.DAT
  • CORNFR.DAT
  • HIKARI.DAT
  • HOYA.DAT
  • OHARA.DAT
  • PILKINGTON.DAT
  • SCHOTT.DAT
  • SUMITA.DAT

In addition, the macro NEWGLASSPRV.SEQ is available from the Customer Support Web Site to define private catalog materials for any glass data not included in the GLASS.CAT file. It is found in the CODE V Support section, under Macro Downloads > CODE V Macros from ORA Tech Support.
