The main data flow model that addresses the simulation of the transmission layer is the Component Iteration Data Flow (CIDF). The Calculation Scheduler controls the simulation by determining the order of execution of component modules according to the selected data flow model. The script language can also manipulate and control OptiSystem, including calculations, layout creation and post-processing. You can enter arithmetical expressions for parameters and create global parameters that can be shared between components and subsystems using standard VB Script language. OptiSystem features a truly hierarchical definition of components and systems, allowing the simulation to be as detailed as the desired accuracy dictates. To make a simulation tool flexible and efficient, it is essential to provide models at different abstraction levels, including the system, subsystem, and component levels. You can attach an arbitrary number of visualizers to the monitor at the same port. This allows you to process data after the simulation without recalculating. You can select component ports to save the data and attach monitors after the simulation ends. Also included are WDM analysis tools listing signal power, gain, noise figure, and OSNR per channel. Advanced visualization toolsĪdvanced visualization tools produce OSA Spectra, signal chirp, eye diagrams, polarization state, constellation diagrams and much more. In order to predict the system performance, OptiSystem calculates parameters such as BER and Q-Factor using numerical analysis or semi-analytical techniques for systems limited by inter-symbol interference and noise. OptiSystem calculates the signals using the appropriate algorithms related to the required simulation accuracy and efficiency. OptiSystem handles mixed signal formats for optical and electrical signals in the Component Library. OptiSystem allows you to employ specific Optiwave software tools for integrated and fiber optics at the component and circuit level: OptiSPICE, OptiBPM, OptiGrating, and OptiFiber. Subsystems and user-defined libraries, or utilize co-simulation with a third party tool such as MATLAB or SPICE. Users can incorporate new components based on It integrates with test and measurement equipment from different vendors. The OptiSystem Component Library includes hundreds of components that enable you to enter parameters that can be measured from realĭevices.
