PIVMat Installation |
The PIVMat Toolbox works with MATLAB 7 or higher (tested up to R2014b, Matlab 8.4), on every operating system (Windows, UNIX, Mac). Note that the import of DaVis files requires to install also the ReadIMX package provided by LaVision (not all platforms supported).
PIVMat supports files from:
1. Download the PIVMat Toolbox and extract the ZIP file in a folder, for example /My documents/Matlab/toolbox/pivmat (make sure the subdirectories html, sample and private are correctly unzipped as well). Do NOT install in the Matlab application folder (typically /Program Files/Matlab/...). If you upgrade from an older version, first empty the previous directory.
2. If you wish to import DaVis files, download also the ReadIMX package v1.5 from this page, and extract the ZIP file in another folder, for example /My documents/Matlab/toolbox/readimx. Note that PIVMat is not compatible with the new version ReadIMX v2.
3. From the menu 'File > Set Path', click on 'Add Folder' (NOT 'Add with Subfolders') and select the directories pivmat and readimx. Click on 'Save' and 'Close'.
4. Restart MATLAB. To get started, type docpivmat in the command window.
If you upgrade Matlab, you don't need to reinstall pivmat and readimx. Just follow steps 3 and 4.
Quit Matlab, replace your old pivmat folder with the new one, and re-launch Matlab. Type docpivmat in the command window to check if the new version is correctly recognized.
