Optical design software
CODE V Version 8.30 is a new release of this optical design software for the Windows 95/NT and Sun Workstation platforms. According to the manufacturer, this version contains performance enhancements in areas including optimization, thin-film coatings, user-defined macros, illumination system analysis, and output plotting, as well as better integration into the Windows environment. The Global Synthesis optimization algorithm has been improved for zoom lenses, and the number of variables allowed during optimization has been nearly doubled to facilitate the design of complex systems. Thin-film coating design and optimization capabilities have been expanded to include films of up to 200 layers. This version is also the first pure 32-bit general release of the software.
