This *.ini-file has to be located in the working directory of ElliCalc and should NOT be changed manually.
In emergency cases (= a corrupt file Thinfilm.ini) you may try to overwrite Thinfilm.ini with the default file
Thinfilm.ini (on your CD).
ATTENTION: All files from CD-ROMs are write-protected. Click on the file name in Windows Explorer with
your right mouse button and remove the write-protection.
Section [UserEdits]
In the file Thinfilm.ini there is a section [UserEdits] very near to the beginning of the file. You may edit the
file Thinfilm.ini with any text editor like notepad.exe or wordpad.exe (do not use Microsoft Word or similar
programs). These entries are in part only for special customers and special equipment: they are NOT
supported !!
Attention: be careful in editing this file ! Make a backup before you edit Thinfilm.ini !!
The section [UserEdits] contains some parameters which cannot be changed within the graphical user
interface of ElliCalc because only special users need these features.

WriteTmpFile:
if this flag is set to TRUE then ElliCalc will write a temporary file after each measurement. In rare cases the
PC together with its network connection may be very slow and it is advisable to set the flag to FALSE. Then
it will no longer be possible to use the feature “load last file”
WriteRefFile
if this flag is set to TRUE then ElliCalc will write a file after each reference measurement. In rare cases the
PC together with its network connection may be very slow and it is advisable to set the flag to FALSE. Then
it will no longer be possible to use the feature “load last reference”
MinimumSearch
this is reserved for a special customer (using antireflective coatings)
AllowPixels
If you disable this feature by setting the flag to FALSE it will not be possible to use the pixel mode. You
gain some speed as no recalculation for pixels is done with each measurement.
Plot_During_Online
if you set this flag to FALSE then you gain some speed during online measurements as no plots are shown
