Q1: Is there any command of ZEMAX Programming Language that can get abbe number if I use "fictitious lens"(index and abbe number is fictitious)? "GABB(x)" is used for glass that have specific name.Q2: Is there any command of ZEMAX Programming Language that can get the surface number where the stop is at?Thank you very much.

A1:When you set a surface glass to fititous,it became a solve instead of real glass, so you gan get the ABBE Number of "Model" glasswith the command GETVARDATA, see ZEMAX User's Manual for detail of this command.A2: Slot 23 of return vector of GETSYSTEMDATA stores the stop surface number.

for example, I define glass of surface 3 to be model glass with index 1.6 and Abbe to be 40than the following code will get me the abbe of glass of all surface:GETVARDATA 1 nvar = VEC1(0) PRINT "There are ",nvar," varibles defined in system" FOR i = 1,nvar,1 type_slot = 5*i- 4 surf_slot = 5*i- 3 !See if it is Abbe Vd varible type IF VEC1(type_slot) == 5 PRINT "Abbe of Surface",VEC1(surf_slot), " = ",VEC1(5*i) ENDIF NEXT PRINT "" PRINT "All done!"HERE is the result:Executing D:\ZEMAX\MACROS\GETABBE.ZPL. There are 12.0000 variables defined in system Abbe of Surface3.0000 = 35.3400All done!but there is a constraint that you must define the abbe to be variable
