The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) optics model is used to generate a synthetic data stream in the absence of gravitational waves. The simulation has the spacecraft in moving in their respective Keplerian orbits. The pointing of the spacecraft and station keeping about the proof masses is accomplished using a control scheme, which minimizes the disturbance on the proof masses in the sensitive direction. The resulting data stream gives an indication of the magnitude of instrumental noise due to pointing jitter and motions of the spacecraft with respect to the proof masses. Computational details are presented and the results discussed.
