Note also that the thermodynamic property data in _CyclePad_ was assembled from a variety of sources, generally noted in the files containing the data. _CyclePad_ was developed as noncommercial, research software. Any implementation of the data in _CyclePad_ may require authorization of the thermodynamic property data copyright owners.

This is the CyclePad Help file, compiled in February, 2002. Every effort is made to ensure that this file is current, but due to the pace of CyclePad’s development it is possible that new features are not yet documented in this file. In addition, the graphics may look somewhat different on your computer than they do in this file, either due to changes in CyclePad or differences in Windows settings. The graphics in this file are from Windows 2000, so they may appear different from those in other environments.

A note on units and terminology: CyclePad was first developed at Oxford university, and so some of the terms used in this file reflect British usage. In these cases, the equivalent American term is given in parentheses.
