What Needs to be Changed, sometimes, in Real
Situations
Instead of a single Zenith, more Zeniths may be needed, say, for flare reasons,
in which case Z can be replaced with Zx2, for example, which will produce 2
Zeniths 180° apart (360°/2):
SL,0x12,45x12,-45x12,N,Zx2
For 2 Zeniths 90° apart, the ZZ convention can be used, or ^90, which tells to use
90° interval between Zeniths instead of the computed 360°/2.
SL,0x12,45x12,-45x12,N,ZZ
SL,0x12,45x12,-45x12,N,Zx2^90
The same way, for 2 Zeniths 120° apart:
SL,0x12,45x12,-45x12,N,Zx2^120
Now, for Zeniths at a tilt of 80° instead of 90°, which might help in automatic
control points, because the Zenith is just like any row, but at a tilt of 90°, 90x1 will
do the same as Z, thus 80x1 is what you need for a Zenith at a tilt of 80° instead.
For 2 Zeniths at a tilt of 80° and 180° apart, 80x2, and for 2 Zeniths 90° apart, we
can use 80x2^90, thus we will end with this script:
SL,0x12,45x12,-45x12,N,80x2^90
Suppose that the rows at a tilt of +45° and -45° must have 10 positions instead of
12, then the script can be changed as follows:
SL,0x12,45x10,-45x10,N,80x2^90
The above apply for Nadirs as well, in which case the N, NN, -90x1, -80x1,
-80x2^90 can be used.
The Nadir is like a row at a tilt of -90°.
