load
The parameters entered in the Quick set-up interface are not considered for simulation until the load button has been clicked. Note that the load button is active only if all the entered components are in the “READY FOR LOADING” state.

After clicking on the load button, the system that could so far be used for calculations is automatically replaced by the one specified in the Quick set-up interface. More precisely, the fields, wavelengths and parameters of the components selected in the Quick set-up interface are automatically loaded and can be viewed/modified in the standard interface using the different buttons (fields, wavelengths and surfaces parameters) of the System input menu.

By default the aperture of the system is defined by the diameter of the the first surface of the new system except if a stop surface is specified after a component. In this case, “yes” is selected in the aperture before next comp. cell of its interspace table. The aperture is then an extra surface located after the component and before the next one if any or before the observation surface if the component is the the last one. The distance from the component to the stop surface and the stop surface diameter are specified in the following stop surface table.

Some parameters of the options table (which is part of the standard interface) are also automatically loaded. Indeed, “All” active fields and wavelengths are considered for the calculations. The display plane for 2D ray tracing is the “YZ” plane and the analysis surface is considered “at finite distance” from the system.

Obviously, all the parameters can then be modified in the standard interface if necessary.

reset
The reset button enables to download in the Quick set-up interface the last loaded system. The reset button is active if a system has already been loaded using the load button. Once the reset button is clicked, it is necessary to click on the load button for loading again the previous system and use it for simulation.
