What this tutorial covers
Inspect pupil, PSF, OTF and MTF related analyses.
Before you start：You need access to the product and should ideally follow the tutorial using your own real parameters or data. The screenshots below were manually rematched to avoid the image/topic mismatches seen in the previous version.
Step-by-step workflow
1Open the module
Open the Pupil / PSF / OTF / MTF module. Confirm that the visible page really matches the tutorial topic before changing any settings.
2Configure the input
Prepare and check the optical-system state and its related analysis settings.
3Run and watch the status
Switch between result views and compare how the system behaves under different representations. Watch the visible status, plot or log area while the workflow is running.
4Inspect the result
Pay special attention to pupil, PSF, OTF and MTF related results.
5Verify and iterate
When interpreting MTF, also look back at the pupil and PSF states so the performance source stays clear. Change one meaningful parameter and rerun so you can verify whether the output changes in the expected direction.
How to read the result
- The main output of this workflow is pupil, PSF, OTF and MTF related results.
- Read the result together with the exact inputs used for the run; a screenshot alone rarely tells the whole story.
- When interpreting MTF, also look back at the pupil and PSF states so the performance source stays clear.
Troubleshooting & practical tips
- If nothing changes, first confirm that the correct module is open.
- If the output looks unrealistic, check units, field mapping and input scale first.
- For comparisons, change one key parameter at a time whenever possible.
