This document presents a parametric model to help design an Interferometric Array. One aspect of Array Design is the value vs. cost trade-off inherent to many of its parameters. This is a Multiple Objective problem. This document describes design parameters in \S~\ref{sec:var} and a set of equations for cost objectives in \S~\ref{sec:obj}.   A spreadsheet that uses these design parameters and produces a CSV file for analysis of the emerging Pareto Front is introduced in \S~\ref{sec:spreadsheet}. This code output is ready to perform Multiple Objective Visual Analytics (MOVA) as proposed in \cite{mova}.  \section{Parameters}\label{sec:var}  This section present presents  selected design parameters that influencethe  selected objectives in \S~\ref{sec:obj}. \subsection{Antenna Aspects}  We will select design parameters that apply to many antenna types, including offset Gregorian and symmetric Cassegrain.   \subsubsection{Collecting Area} 

\subsection{Engineering cost vs. Calibration cost}  Tricky because you can compensate antenna quality with software. So the equations must capture this trade off.
