Glass Catalog Updates for CODE V and LightTools

CODE V and LightTools come with installed glass catalog files that contain manufacturer-published data for optical glasses and plastics that are current as of the product release date. The glass catalog files are updated periodically with manufacturer-supplied data.

Important notes:

  • Updated files are tested with the product releases specified in the Glass Catalog History. While the glass catalogs may be used in older product versions, they will not have been tested in the older versions. The user should confirm that the downloaded glass catalogs function correctly in any older product version used. Keysight highly recommends that users update to the most recent versions of CODE V and LightTools. See the Glass Catalog History for detailed changes to the catalogs.
  • The products should not be running when you copy the new glass catalog files to their respective installation folders.
