autoQY INSTRUCTIONS
=======================================================
===========================
Experimental Parameters
===========================
- Add volume (ml)
- Add rate constant for thermal back-reaction (s-1)

===========================
Power
===========================
Manual Input
============
- add value for Power (mW)
- add value for error in power (mW)

============
PowerProcessing Module
============
- Press Load button to load data obtained from the Optical Power Monitor (OPM) software by Thorlabs
	-- Other data formats to be added later
- Select areas to be used for Baseline Correction:
	-- Red: light off (baseline)
	-- Blue: light on
- Press button Baseline Correction: two new tabs will appear
- Check correctness of baseline correction
- Press button Calculate Power at Cuvette: value+error will appear in main window
- Repeat for dataset 2 and 3, if available

- Press button Calculate: the averaged power+error will appear in the corresponding text fields

===========================
Load Data
===========================
- Press button Epsilons Reactant to load data
- Press button Epsilons Product to load data
- Press button Plot to plot the spectra of the molar absorptivities

- Press button Measurement Data to load UV-Vis absorption spectra recorded during irradiation
- Press button Plot to plot the UV-Vis absorption spectra

- Press button Timestamps to load log/timestamps data
	-- Choose Default when loading simple comma-separated two-column dataset
	-- Choose AHK when loading log data recorded with AutoHotkey script used by Crespi group

===========================
Wavelength of Irradiation
===========================
Single Wavelength (to do)
============
This mode is not ready yet

============
Integration
============
- Input nominal wavelength (nm) (value is not used in the calculation -- for display purposes only)
- Press button Load to load LED emission spectrum
	-- The intensity data does not need to be normalised
- Press button Plot to plot the LED emission spectrum (before processing)

===========================
Process Data
===========================
- Set Threshold to desired value: the aim is to exclude the parts of the LED emission spectra that contain only noise
- Press button Process: a new tab appears showing the processed data
- Check correctness of processed spectral data


===========================
autoQY
===========================
- Press button Calculate QY:
	-- A new tab appears displaying the fit of the model vs. experimental
	-- Results are displayed in: QY results and % at PSS
- If satisfied with results: press button Save Results
	-- Choose name for file
	-- The figure will be saved (as .png and .svg) and a Results.txt will be generated
