Set Up

Matlab Version

• Unpack this file into C:\mprogs or in a directory of your choice eg X:\ISIS
• Open your startup.m file (if it does not exist, then type

  >>edit startup.m 

in the matlab window immediately after matlab started or save this file in the folder where matlab starts)

• Add the following lines to the startup.m file

addpath('c:\mprogs\mslice') % where c:\mprogs\mslice is the folder you unzipped mslice into
mslice_init 

Standalone Version

Unpack the archive into the directory of your choice keeping the structure of folders you find within the archive.

Before using a MATLAB compiled product you must run MCRInstaller.exe. This .exe file installs required components of MATLAB on your computer. Admin rights are required to run this and it must be run the first time you download a standalone matlab application. If you have already run this file on your computer, you do not need to run it again.

After MATLAB components are installed, you can run mslice.exe

Examples

Some examples are included with the program. These are .msp files used by mslice to store locations of various mslice parameters and references to the required data plus the data themselves. After installation you can look through these examples choosing them from Parameters window and selecting examples from /Data directory, located below your mslice installation folder.

Start Mslice

To stat mslice in Matlab, type >> mslice. To start the standalone version, double click the mslice.exe file. An example should appear in the GUI straight away. To look at other examples, click the parameters menu item and click load parameters. Then choose one of the other example .msp files to load.
