Dear Didier,

Currently, the lattice command requires the same number of elements for all successive focusing periods. Quite often it is practically difficult to fulfill this requirement.

Would you kindly consider adding a version of the lattice command that counts only the quad elements. It would be even better to introduce a flag option to specify the number of quads that defines one period, which enables lattice such as FOFODODO.

Best regards,
Wai-Ming

Dear Wai-Ming,

Currently you can define as many different succcessive lattice with as many LATTICE->LATTICE_END commands as you need. It may be a bit tedious but it will work. Your proposal isn't easy to implement because it won't clearly indicate to the system the start and end of each lattice depending on other elements other than quad.

Regards,

Didier
