function NSCData = zGetNSCData(SurfaceNumber, Code)
% zGetNSCData - Requests data for NSC groups present in ZEMAX.
%
% Usage : zGetNSCData(SurfaceNumber, Code)
% SurfaceNumber refers to the surface number of the NSC group, use 1 if the program mode is Non-Sequential. Currently
% only Code = 0 is supported, in which case the returned data is the number of objects in the NSC group.
