Reply To: Length units in Zemax Beam File

Thank you for these comments.

So what is labeled Units in the format specification should actully read Lens Units. This line thus defines what lens unit means for this particular file and therefore all of dx,dy,zx,Rx,wx,zy,Ry,wy and lambda are measured in this unit. The file with the warning had units=3, which now also makes sense.

From the wording I erroneously deduced that Lens Units and Units mean different things in that file.
