You are absolutely right. M2OIBH4!

1, Modelling optical system in codev and getting system response functions, using these functions in matlab to build input/output spectrum relationship( such as: if input spectrum distribution is known, matlab does convolution to predict the output,... ); 7%Gwc?[x
By the way, right now 9.7/9.8 provides diffraction imaging function, probably it can perform the same. 9K{%vK

2, Further more, OE detector and electronics being modeled in matlab to simulate whole system, like saturation, dynamic, SNR, frequency response, even thermal & mechanical variation. o<BOYrS

3, At that time(back to 2001), non-sequencial optics softwares were not available for me --- had to use codev+matlab to do straylight and illumination efficiency design. #`CA8!j!!
