8. Troubleshooting and Frequently Asked Questions
Pro Tip: Keep a local PDF copy of the legacy
ZEMAXUserManual.pdfeven if you use the new version. The legacy manual often explains why a function works, while the new manual explains how to click the button.

Connecting ZEMAX to Excel or MATLAB in real time. The manual gives the exact DDE topic names (ZemaxServer|LDE!).
