2 Installation and setup

This application was built in MATLAB and then converted to a standalone executable file utilizing MATLAB Runtime. A MATLAB license is not required. Install MATLAB Runtime by navigating to https://www.mathworks.com/products/compiler/mathlab-runtime.html. Once there, download the R2024a (24.1) version of MATLAB Runtime. After downloading this version of MATLAB runtime, install MATLAB Runtime by navigating to and selecting the setup.exe file from the downloaded folder.

Once this is complete, the user can open and run the application by select the "DMD Diffraction Efficiency Calculator vx.exe" file. The “photopic.txt” file needs to be in the same directory as the Diffraction Efficiency Calculator for the application to calculate the Photopic Diffraction Efficiency. The application uses the photopic.txt file to make photopic diffraction efficiency calculations.

Note: User's need to install the MATLAB Runtime R2024a (24.1) version only. Any other version of MATLAB Runtime will not work with the DMD Diffraction Efficiency Calculator.
