SETVAR

Changes the state of variables for optimization.

Syntax:

SETVAR surf, code, status, object 
or
SETVAR config, M, status, operand
 

Discussion:

Surf must evaluate to an integer between 0 and the maximum number of surfaces. Config must evaluate to an integer between 1 and the number of configurations. Code must be one of the following strings:

R for radius of curvature

T for thickness

C for conic

G for glass

I for glass index

J for glass Abbe

K for glass dpgf

Pn for parameter n

D for thermal coefficient of expansion

En for extra data value n

M for multi-configuration data, see discussion below

Nn for non-sequential component position data, 1-6 for x, y, z, tx, ty, tz

On for non-sequential component parameter data, where n is the parameter number

If status evaluates to 0, then the variable status is removed. Otherwise, the value is made variable. If the code is Nn or On; the object number must be provided; otherwise, it should be omitted. If the code is M, then the syntax for this command is as shown under "syntax" above.

Examples:

SETVAR j+3, R, 1
SETVAR 5, P6, 0
SETVAR surfk+2, E06, status
SETVAR config, M, status, operand
SETVAR 1, O32, 1, 5
