1.Introduction

TracePro®Interactive Optimizerhelps users generate and also accomplish the optimization process of the Optical Elements and whole system-quickly and accurately.It provides a convenient and intuitional user interface to create radial free-form optical element(s).While useful for luminaire design,this tool can also be used to optimize LED second optics,reflective optics,projector system,solar concentrator and any other optical system needed optimization.The utility is for use with all TracePro editions and requires the most recent release of TracePro7.0and Microsoft Windows XP or later version.

2.Getting Started

2.Getting Started

Interactive optimizer offers an intuitive graphical user interface.Its multi-window design makes it easy to initiate a prototype design and monitor the optimization process with the instant simulation data returned from TracePro.This manual generally assumes a working knowledge of Windows.When Interactive Optimizer launched,a MDI window is initiated for starting a new optimization plan.

The Interactive Optimizer user interface consists of:

•Profile editor window

•Toolbox panel

•Property window

•Export panel

•Optimization control panel

•Optimization log

•Options panel

Below you can find instructions for some of the most basic Surface Source Property Generator operation More:

•Optimization control panel

•Optimization log

•Options panel

2.1Interactive Optimizer Interface

Interactive Optimizer is a pure graphical user interface application.It helps users generate many kinds of freeform geometry and simulate its optical system performance in TracePro®.Furthermore it manipulates TracePro®to accomplish the optimization through DDE channel.

To understand the interfaces of Interactive Optimizer,a simple description about each child windows are necessary,they are:
