| 1. A software product comprising instructions stored on computer-readable media, wherein the instructions, when executed by
a computer, perform steps for optimizing an optical system design and a digital system design, the instructions comprising:
instructions for simulating an optical model of the optical system design;
instructions for simulating a digital model of the digital system design;
instructions for analyzing simulated output of the optical model and simulated output of the digital model, to produce a score;
instructions for modifying the optical model and digital model based upon the score;
instructions for implementing a plurality of components within a graphical user interface, wherein the components control
execution of (a) the instructions for simulating an optical model, (b) the instructions for simulating a digital model, (c)
the instructions for analyzing and (d) the instructions for modifying, and further comprising instructions for sharing data
between components selectively; and
instructions for forming a plurality of template components in a toolbox and instructions for generating the components from
the template components.
