11.5 Lens Data
The ARRI Lens Data System (LDS) allows display and capture of
lens data information provided by cameras or motor controllers.
The WCU-4 displays the same lens data on its integrated lens data
display.
See "Compatibility", page 68 for devices which supports LDS.

Lens programming
An important prerequisite for lens data generation is a lens table
that converts the lens motor encoder values into something a
human can use, like T-stops and focus ring values. Through lens
programming, lens tables – and eventually lens data – can be
generated for any lens.
The WCU-4 hand unit offers a lens-programming interface, so a
lens can be quickly programmed, with no additional equipment
besides a motor controller or camera with lens motors. The
resulting lens table file is stored on an SD card, which can be taken
out and reused elsewhere.
See "Compatibility", page 68 for lens programming abilies of
your hardware.
