PCMass Version |
2. Installation
The current version is PCMass29. Please note that this program is evolving rapidly. Certain combinations of operations can hang the program. If this happens, the best choice is to hold down ctrl and alt while striking del, terminate the job and restart the program. PCMass also contains features under development and not documented here which can give unexpected displays if activated by accident. If you have questions, please note the sequence of keystrokes leading to the problem and call Joe Wall at 631-344-2912. If you can call from a telephone next your computer and have the program running, this will expedite communication and troubleshooting. |

Installation Procedure |
To install the program:
(1) Create one main folder and three sub-folders (any drive letter can be used):
C:\PCMass29
C:\PCMass29\MassMeas\
C:\PCMass29\SpecAves\
C:\PCMass29\nk7375\
(2) Copy the following files into your C:\PCMass29\ folder:
PCMass29.exe
PCMmods.dat
PCMass29.doc
(3) Copy the supplied practice images of TMV and earthworm hemoglobin from the nk7375 folder into your C:\PCMass29\nk7375\ folder. Output from the analysis of single images will be saved in the C:\PCMass29\MassMeas\ folder as nk*.smm (STEM Mass Measurements, * being the nk number of the current image). These are actually text files which can be read by any editor program or imported into plotting programs. Averages and histograms for multiple files will be saved in files named for the first specimen in the series and placed in the C:\PCMass29\SpecAves\ folder as text files. |
