MACOS Version 3.31

Version 3.31 of Modeling and Analysis for Controlled Optical Systems (MACOS) has been released. MACOS is an easy-to-use computer program for modeling and analyzing the behaviors of a variety of optical systems, including systems that have large, segmented apertures and are aligned with the technology of wavefront sensing and control. Two previous versions were described in “Improved Software for Modeling Controlled Optical Systems” (NPO-19841) NASA Tech Briefs, Vol. 21, No. 12 (December 1997), page 42 and “Optics Program Modified for Multithreaded Parallel Computing” (NPO-40572) NASA Tech Briefs, Vol. 30, No. 1 (January 2006) page 13a. The present version incorporates the following enhancements over prior versions:
