Properties

int FirstSurface [get, set]
 Gets or sets the first surface to consider adding an asphere to (0 to Editors.LDE.ILensDataEditor.NumberOfSurfaces-2).
 
int LastSurface [get, set]
 Gets or sets the last surface to consider adding an asphere to (1 to Editors.LDE.ILensDataEditor.NumberOfSurfaces-1).
 
FindBestAsphereTypes AsphereType [get, set]
 Gets or sets the asphere type (Conic, 4thOrder, 8thOrder, 10thOrder, 12thOrder) from FindBestAsphereTypes.
 
double StartMeritFunction [get]
 
double BestMeritFunction [get]
 
int BestSurface [get]
 
- Properties inherited from ZOSAPI.Tools.ISystemTool
int Progress [get]
 Gets the progress of the current tool, if supported.
 
string Status [get]
 Gets the status of the current tool, if supporoted.
 
bool IsRunning [get]
 Gets a value indicating whether the tool is currently running asynchronously.
 
bool CanCancel [get]
 Gets a value indicating whether the tool can be cancelled.
 
bool IsAsynchronous [get]
 Gets a value indicating whether the tool runs asynchronously (i.e. on a thread).
 
bool IsFiniteDuration [get]
 Gets a value indicating whether this tool will complete on its own.
 
bool IsValid [get]
 Gets a value indicating whether the input settings are valid.
 
bool Succeeded [get]
 Gets a value indicating whether the tool execution succeeded.
 
string ErrorMessage [get]
 If Succeeded is false, get the error messages; otherwise, null.
 

Additional Inherited Members

- Public Member Functions inherited from ZOSAPI.Tools.ISystemTool
bool Run ()
 Start the tool. Note that for synchronous tools (see IsAsynchronous), this call will block until completion. If it is asynchronous it will start running but return immediately.
 
bool RunAndWaitForCompletion ()
 Sames as calling Run followed by WaitForCompletion.
 
bool WaitForCompletion ()
 Waits for the asynchronous tool to complete.
 
bool Cancel ()
 Cancels the currently running asynchronous tool.
 
bool Close ()
 Closes this tool and frees up and associated resources.
 
RunStatus WaitWithTimeout (double timeOutSeconds)
 Waits for the currently running tool to complete, with a specified time out value. Note that if the timeout is exceeded this method will return, however the tool will continue to run. Also note that this method will not start the tool running if it is not already.
 
RunStatus RunAndWaitWithTimeout (double timeOutSeconds)
 Starts the tool running, and waits for it to complete with the specified timeout value. Note that if the timeout is exceeded this method will return, however the tool will continue to run.
