If cache is illegal (e.g., has been accumulated during optimisation on the same project but with a different number of variables), optimisation will not run.

Calculate_With_Prony tells QW-Simulator to invoke the QProny module.
<stop_processing_model_generation>, <order_selection> - define the operation mode of the module. Only the automatic mode is possible so both parameters should be set to -1,
<smoothing> - a multiplier for the length of the window used in calculating the moving average of signal energy at the circuit's ports. Its value should be proportional to the bandwidth of the source signal. The default value 1 is sufficient for the signals with source bandwidths of approximately 20%. It is recommended to double its value (using an external text editor) for every 20% increase of the source signal bandwidth.
