General changes in this release

Version 2.1 (03/06/2009) - Current Release

We have revised two spectra in the PhotochemCAD database. The spectra pertain to:

(i) The emission spectrum of benzene. A new emission spectrum for benzene has been installed.

(ii) The molar absorption coefficient of chlorophyll b. The molar absorption coefficient for chlorophyll b was previously offset by ~20 nm.

Version 2.1 (11/01/2007)

A PDF file called Getting Started is available as a brief guide for new users on how to use PhotochemCAD. You can view the Getting Started PDF file as a Web page.
The data for newly created spectra (for example, the result of an energy-transfer simulation, the result of spectra manipulation) can be exported as a tab-delimited text file for further use in other graphing software programs.
Spelling and grammatical errors in a number of the windows have been fixed.
Video instructions (AVI files) have been removed from the installer, which makes the size of the software much smaller. You can download the video instruction files separately on our Downloads page.
A number of calculations (oscillator strength, fluorescence lifetimes, etc.) now can be calculated sequentially for a compound using different parameters. (In version 2.0, spectra needed to be closed to use different parameters in subsequent calculations.)
