Application Notes
Prism units
FRED inserts the prism using the units provided by the vendor. Currently, in all cases, the units are millimeters. If this is not the unit of measure for your system, the prism is scaled by the appropriate factor.
For example, if your system uses centimeters and you import a prism whose semi-aperture measures 10 mm by 10 mm, the Edit Prism dialog will show the prism as having a 1.0 cm by 1.0 cm semi-aperture.
