Abstract
ACCOS V is an optical design and analysis program copyrighted by SC, Inc. of Fishers, NY. MCI is a wavefront and interferogram analysis program developed by UNM personnel. These programs have been linked on the Cray and CDC computers at Kirtland AFB. We present information on the use and capabilities of this arrangement, showing examples of ACCOS input and optical path difference (OPD) calculations, and what features MCI adds to ACCOS analysis. Included are Zernike wavefront coefficients [1,2], contour plots, OPD maps, and some new developments in the capabilities of MCI.
