The software starts with a "missing .dll" message and then does not function as could be expected. What is wrong?

The Matlab runtime libraries have not been installed properly or they conflict with the full version of Matlab on your computer. Do not try to use Diatrack until this has been resolved. Best is to install Diatrack on a different PC. Otherwise, look in your system path, and move the variables "C:\Program Files\Semasopht\diatrack3d_mcr\bin\win32" and "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Component Runtime\v74\runtime\win32" to the very beginning of the path. This advice assumes that you have set up Diatrack and the runtime libraries in the directories proposed by default, which we strongly recommend. If you still experience problems, try to reinstall the software after ensuring that the install directory ("semasopht" by default) has been deleted altogether.

I can't seem to save/print my figure as I would like to.

In some instances, the saved or printed figure does not look exactly identical to the display. In this case, activate the Option - Plotting - Plot each result in new window, and use the figure's menus to finetune export or printout.

What types of files can Diatrack open?

As it is programmed using the Matlab programming language, Diatrack can open most file types, including sequences of images of type .tif, .gif, .png, .jpeg, .bmp, dumped in a single directory. The order of files as listed in the directory controls the ordering of files in Diatrack. Diatrack also opens .avi movies provided the corresponding codec is available on your computer. Tiff multi-image sequences are most convenient and are recommended for both 2D and 3D work in DT. Some proprietary formats, such as .lsm files produced by Zeiss microscopes are also of this type and can be opened by DT. Diatrack opens data named using the pattern myimageZ0T0.tif, myimageZ1T0.tif etc as 3D data.

I can't open my file in Diatrack!

Please, let us know by sending us a short sample and we will try to help. There is a global effort towards standardisation. It is likely that your image sequence can be opened using the open source ImageJ software and then saved as a multi-image tiff sequence (File - Save As - Tiff...). Multi-image tiffs can then be loaded by Diatrack

I can't change the color of the red markers in DT. Can you provide us with the Matlab source code? We will sign a confidentiality agreement.

We have introduced scripting functionalities from version 3.03 to enable virtually unlimited level of user control. Do contribute your script and we will test it and add it to our community page. The "Developer" version of Diatrack only makes sense from an economical point if your organisation is undertaking a major effort in the area of quantitative imaging. Please, do contact us if this is the case.

Can I try the full version for a few days? I want to test all features and I can't do it with the demo version.

The reason a few features are not enabled in the demo version is because ...it is a demo version. These features work as expected in the professional version, money back guarantee.

What is the difference between the Student version and the Academic version of Diatrack?

The student version has been introduced from version 3.03. The software can only be installed on the student's own computer, which clearly will not bear a name, such as "laboratory for ..."

What is the pricing for a non-academic license?

The value of Diatrack for applications such as diagnostics, drug discovery, fertility, or quality control depends on the exact circumstances. We seek to provide our technology at a fair price.
