Optical models are files that are saved in the “opmodels” folder under the LS 13 320 main folder.
These files use extensions that indicate the type of analysis that the model is to be used for. All
optical model files used with LS 13 320 benches that are equipped with the 750 nm laser use a file
extension that begins with the characters “rf” while benches equipped with the 780 nm laser will
use the file extension “rf780”. The last character of the optical model file extension uses the
following identification:
z =analyses that do not use PIDS
d = analyses using PIDS
f = analyses using the Tornado Dry Powder System
