DATA & FILE OVERVIEW Analysis of this dataset is presented in: D. Li and D. Savransky, “Image Plane Wavefront Sensing and Kalman Filtering for Automated Alignment of Off-axis Aspherics”, 2023. This dataset contains 2 main datatypes: *.m, *.mat, both of which can be opened by Mathworks (c) MATLAB. This dataset is generated using Mathworks (c) MATLAB R2021a. Running plot_josaa.m produces Figure 3-10 and Table 2-3 in D. Li and D. Savransky, “Image Plane Wavefront Sensing and Kalman Filtering for Automated Alignment of Off-axis Aspherics”, 2023. plot_josaa.m reads through all the *.mat files and calls the other *.m files. For more information, please see the comments in plot_josaa.m.
