Lightsolve

Welcome to the Lightsolve Online User Manual

 

This is a support page for the Lightsolve application, an academic purpose software made at LIPID - ENAC - EPFL. The software is meant to run on EPFL computers only. The usage for other purposes is not forbidden, but the lab and the school decline any responsibility in case of non-respect of this clause. The application is stable but will put your hardware under stress, no matter how good it is. Keep that in mind and do not ignore eventual heat warnings.
