LightPath Analysis Software Guide
If your system did not come with the LightPath Analysis software preinstalled,
contact Luna Innovations Incorporated for installation files and instructions. Make
sure there is no other software running, including the OBR software. Start the
software from the Windows
®
Start menu, or by clicking the desktop icon . A
splash screen displays the software name, version, and date until the main screen
(Figure 6-1) loads.
The LightPath Analysis software comes installed with a default parameter file
(lpa_default_params.ini)
and the three example data files (device1.obr, device2.obr,
and device3.obr) that are used in this tutorial. These files are all located in the same
directory as the LightPath program file (LPA.exe). Normally, this will be the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Luna
Technologies\LightPath Analysis v#.#.
