Introduction
CharAnalysis updated to work with .csv file format in addition to .xls file format. This update is necessary for Mac OS users, as the "xlsread" function in Mac OS does not work properly (Matlab is aware of this but has not fixed it to date).
Details
Modified files:
- CharPeakAnalysisResults.m
- bkgCharSensitivity.m
- CharParameters.m
- CharAnalysis.m
New Files: Matlab Users
- outputResults.m -- Handles formatting of header row in .csv output file, XX_charResults.csv
- template_charParams.csv -- Template for input parameters in .csv format; replaces CharParams worksheet in template.xls file.
- template_charData.csv -- Template for input data in .csv format; replaces charData worksheet in template.xls file.
Windows stand-alone Users
- CharAnalysis_1.0.exe -- New executable file for running CharAnalysis as a stand-alone application in Windows (XP of Vista).
Directions for using .csv format:
Matlab Users
- You must have two files prepared for each records, the "charParams.csv" and "charData.csv" files, and these should be save in .csv format.
- When running CharAnalysis, the input file is the file ending with "charParams.csv". The program will look for the "charData.csv" file in the working directory.
- If results are saved, a new file ending with "charResults.csv" will be created. This file, along with figure files, will be saved in the working directory (on Windows OS) or in the directory /home/Documents/MATLAB (on Mac OS ).
Windows stand-alone Users
- To use .csv files in this version, you must enter the file name (XX_charParams.csv) into the command line. If you drag-and-drop this file onto the CharAnalysis_1.0_exe icon, the program will run but files will not be saved (and the program will quit).
