XDIFFIA
Computes the Extended Diffraction Image Analysis feature and saves the result to a ZBF file. For a description of the ZBF (Zemax Beam File) format see "Zemax Beam File (ZBF) binary format". For a description of the Extended Diffraction Image Analysis feature see "Extended Diffraction Image Analysis".
Syntax:
XDIFFIA outfilename, infilename
Discussion:
This keyword requires the name of the output ZBF file, and optionally, the name of the input IMA or BIM file. If the extension to the outfilename is not provided, the extension ZBF will be appended. The extension must be provided on the infilename. The filenames must be enclosed in quotes if any blank or other special characters are used. The outfilename will be placed in the <pop> folder. The infilename must be placed in the <data>\<im- ages> folder. No paths should be provided with the file names.
The settings for the Extended Diffraction Image Analysis feature will be those settings previously saved for the current lens. To make adjustments to the settings, open an Extended Diffraction Image Analysis window, choose the appropriate settings, then press "Save". All subsequent calls to XDIFFIA will use the saved settings. The exceptions are the output file name, which is specified as the first argument after the XDIFFIA keyword, and the input source file, which is optionally specified as the second argument after the XDIFFIA keyword.
Example:
XDIFFIA "output will be in this file.ZBF", "SOMEIMAFILE.IMA"
