Winspot Download [Updated] 📦
Winspot is a very handy, easy to use ray-tracing program designed for tilted component telescope design. Mirror designs only.
Telescope design is a deeply personal endeavor. Few amateurs duplicate exactly the work of another. Instruments are nearly always customized to fit available space, or to use an existing mirror.
Exciting things are being done with TCT’s today, but the design task is far from trivial when three or more mirrors are involved. Fortunately for us, two prolific designers have made available to the amateur community their private caches of well-corrected, but unbuilt & unpublished designs for others to build, or to build upon.
Winspot 0.95 Crack Activation PC/Windows [2022]
You can use the Winspot program to create a tilted, aspheric mirror by:
– Entering the required parameters into Winspot.
– Choose a mirror manufacturer.
– Selecting a tilt angle.
– If desired, entering a series of parameters and choosing optional “geometric coefficients” specific to that design.
– Drawing your new mirror shape.
– Saving your design as a text file.
Winspot is written in a 64K Pascal program. It is not intended to be an office program, as there are no graph functions, and that would be too difficult to maintain. In other words, Winspot is not a general purpose drawing program.
You must know how to use the draft paper to make your own design, as well as the geometry of the telescope.
There are more than 20 components to compute for a reasonable sized mirror. It is not practical to draw all the details on a piece of paper for every mirror. For this reason, an alternative method of designing a mirror has been developed. This method uses a “visualization” method of computation.
Two or more components can be “mapped” onto a two-dimensional plane (x and y axis). Each point on the plane corresponds to a mirror axis. The MiraX ‘unit’ used in Winspot is a point on the plane. This unit represents a coordinate in the volume of the mirror. Points on the plane and the units are located in volume space.
What is remarkable is that you can select a location on the plane and have Winspot compute the parameters for you!
A table in the program quickly describes how to map the different components onto the plane.
More information on how to design a tilted mirror can be found on page 4 of the program manual.
A 2D view of the mirror side is shown. You can interactively move the view around.
The view becomes 3D when the user goes to the Edit option.
Note:
Winspot is not a drawing program. It is a 2D drafting program. It computes the coordinates in a 3D space. The coordinate system is points on the mirror x axis, y axis, and z axis of the sphere. The x axis points from horizon to zenith. The y axis points perpendicular to the x axis. The z axis points out of the drawing surface. (Think of drawing a 3D shape on a 2D piece of paper.)

Winspot 0.95
Concurrent with this site is the Winspot software. This is a standalone program that requires no installation. It will work with any Windows PC or Mac OS X platform. Although WSI manuals are found on this site, I strongly recommend using the Winspot Software. Winspot can be found in the Winspot Software Downloads section.
If Windows 10 or macOS Catalina beta is installed, Winspot will have a blue splash screen on first run.
Some versions of Internet Explorer and Chrome automatically open Winspot as a result of trying to download software.
To prevent this behavior:
1. Click on the Winspot icon, instead of downloading the file.
2. Click anywhere on the Winspot screen. The splash screen will disappear, but Winspot will remain visible. The ability to click on Winspot screen will continue to be available.
The new PC functions and interface are automatic, and no user training is required.
System requirements:
Windows XP or later:
RAM: 128 MB recommended
Processor: 1.5 GHz Processor Recommended; 1.7 GHz Processor recommended
Hard Drive: 20 GB recommended
Windows Vista or newer:
RAM: 128 MB recommended
Processor: 1.5 GHz Processor Recommended; 1.7 GHz Processor recommended
Hard Drive: 20 GB recommended
*Note: This is a 32-bit application.
Feature Summary:
Winspot has an incredibly easy to use interface, and is fairly self-explanatory once you understand what it is and how it works. All settings are accessible from the main Winspot screen, or within the 2nd (Color Editor) or 3rd (Protractor Editor) windows.
The main Winspot screen
(1) Winspot main screen. This is the place where you will design your telescope.
(2) Mirror tab. This is where you can set the actual mirror image parameters for your telescope.
(3) Set up tab. This is where you set up the hardware connections for your telescope.
(4) Control tab. This is where you can set up the controllers for your telescope.
(5) Catalog tab. This is where you can upload and download color models.
(6) Options tab. This is where you can make adjustments to the settings for Winspot.
(7) History tab. This is where you can save your setup changes.
(8) Extras tab. This is where you can register for additional remote control commands, manual control override features, and so
What’s New In?
Winspot is a program that calculates the ray path and fills in the
aberrations for one or more custom mirrors. It also generates a
triangular mirror file that you can use to build a drawing of your
telescope.
Tutorial on how to install & use Winspot:
1. Download Winspot 1.2.x zip file from winspot.sourceforge.net
2. Remove all traces of previous installation if any ( e.g. 3Dlab.org )
3. Install Winspot.
4. To use the 2 x 1′ F-theta (flat) and F-4.5 (f/4.5) configs by
double clicking winspot.exe and specifying your mirror flat and
F number, you can also use these configs by selecting File > Load
Config File > File Type F-theta or F-4.5. You can also specify your
mirror flat and F number using the commands:
winspot -f flat -F 4.5
if you plan to further modify your mirror.
5. Save the results to your file or create a new file.
6. The results can be viewed using the Program Menu
7. If you wish to place these designs in a book or make them into
a drawing you can use the Output menu to generate a triangular
mirror file or you can copy and paste it from Winspot to a text
editor and save it as a text file.
Mirror designs are stored as triangular files with the following basic format:
-For an F-theta design:
FOSdiag.Tri – The triangle file for each component – not including
the rear of the mask.
-For an F-4.5 design:
FOSdiag_t- Each of the following files can be used to generate a triangle
for each component of the design.
FOSdiag.Tri
FOSdiag_t
FOSdiag_t_rear
FOSdiag_t_flip
*SOURCEDIAG.Tri for circular mirrors with spherical focal plane
are also available in both F-theta and F-4.5 design formats
