dV-DOSC Downfill / Upfill Simulation

dV-DOSC downfill or upfill enclosures can be conveniently simulated in V-ARRAY1 or V-ARRAY2
sheets using the available cells.

Note: For dV-DOSC downfill simulation, autofocus adjust angle = 0 degrees corresponds to the first dV-
DOSC enclosure as tightly wrapped to the bottom V-DOSC (i.e., a relative site angle of 3.75 degrees).

Note: When simulating dV-DOSC downfill or upfill using ARRAY2004 there will appear to be a physical
alignment offset with respect to V-DOSC. This is normal and is due to the different coordinate system
references used for V-DOSC versus dV-DOSC since the rigging systems are rear-pivoting versus front-
pivoting. Even though the display in ARRAY2004 may appear incorrect, DOSC waveguides are physically
aligned by the dV-DOWN rigging adapter accessory and the simulated coverage is correct.
