Guisdap 8.8

This release of guisdap contains a few new features and bugfixes, but everything is made compatible with older versions (hopefully). The package should be compatible with relatively recent Matlab versions, but there may (or may not) be some problems on specific platforms.

Install

Guisdap-8.8 has been succesfully installed on linux. Other architectures may have to change the makefiles, if speed is desired, othervise it should run without the compiled routines. On Windows systems it is recommended to run under the cygwin environment for best compabilitiy. Please report any changes needed for other systems.

unpack the distribution at your favourite place
cd into the guisdap directory
if you want the speed improvements the mex utility provides:
 make "lib" and "mex7" directories
 cd models/iri2012
 "make" (should be gnu-make)
 cd ../nrlmsise00
 "make"
 cd ../irbem
 make OS=... ENV=... all
 cd ../../mexsources
 "make"
make a link of bin/guisdap to a place on your path (ex /usr/local/bin)

Provided is a searchpath to ~/gup/mygup where your personal and edited distribution files should go.

Running

At the prompt, type “guisdap –help” to see all the switches available. Normal analysis is done running “guisdap -a” which will bring up a window with some entries to fill in. (Hopefully selfexplained) This is the same as “guisdap” and then “analyse”. When finished hit “GO”. A more detailed instruction can be found at here.There is also a course presentation describing how to initialise new experiments and some useful tips on more specialised analysis. The initialisation scripts are avaiable with “guisdap -i”.

New features

This is mainly an update release without major new features.
