RANDOMIZE

RANDOMIZE seeds the random number generator.

Syntax:

RANDOMIZE seed 
 

Discussion:

If seed evaluates to zero, OpticStudio seeds the random number generator with a value based upon the CPU clock. Otherwise, the value provided is used to seed the random number generator. Using the same seed will reproduce the identical series of random numbers created by the RAND function.

Example:

RANDOMIZE 
RANDOMIZE 250
