ENVI-met Knowledge Base
The Knowledge Base aims to explain some of the ENVI-met features and aspects in more detail.
You can start browsing here, but you will also find cross-links to the connected Knowledge Base items in the different topics concerned. Also, occasionally ENVI-met will suggest you to have a look at some of the items.
If you are frustrated from “Floating Point Errors” or similar, please read this first!
