PyCorrFit 0.8.3

If you work with PicoQuant .pt3 files, use version 0.8.3-alpha1 and later.

• New .pcfs (PyCorrFit Session) file format (#60)
• Additional fitting algorithms: Nelder-Mead, BFGS, Powell, Polak-Ribiere (#71)
• Improvements
  • Massive speed-up when working with large data sets (#77)
  • Plot export: legend position and displayed parameters (#54)
  • Average tool: traces may now start at timepoints != 0
  • Statistics tool: display on smaller screens
  • ALV data files: updated parser to identify curve types and segment traces
  • Zeiss ConfoCor3 data files: some files could not be opened due to dummy AC curves
  • Models: default parameters were changed to prevent unstable fits
  • Software: notification dialogs for missing modules or other software
• Bugfixes
  • User could accidently clear a session (#65)
  • wxPython plotting problen on MacOSx (#64)
  • Statistics view: some parameters were duplicated (#76)
  • Catched zero-division warnings (models with triplet component)
  • Corrected x-axis scaling of statistics view and trace view

Mac OSx

You can choose between the binary and App. The only difference is the form of distribution. In the future, PyCorrFit will be distributed as an App only.

Ubuntu/Debain

If you are using Ubuntu/Debian and you have root privileges, you can download and install the .deb package instead of the precompiled binaries. Either use the software center, or in a console type

dpkg -i ./path/to/Ubuntu_Debian_ALL_pycorrfit_0.8.3-1_all.deb

Make sure that you have at least these packages installed:

python-matplotlib
python-numpy
python-scipy
python-yaml
python-wxgtk2.8-dbg

PyCorrFit 0.8.2-alpha6

Differences to 0.8.2-alpha5:
x-axis scaling of statistics and trace view now works better

PyCorrFit 0.8.2-alpha5

Differences to 0.8.2-alpha4:
Fixed bug in the page average tool that sneaked in during recent optimizations.

PyCorrFit 0.8.2-alpha4

Differences to 0.8.2-alpha3:
Fixed a bug that came along: Hitting apply to all pages in batch control also changed the type of all other correlation functions (AC or CC).

PyCorrFit 0.8.2-alpha3

Differences to 0.8.2-alpha2:

• Massive speed-up!
• Catched zero-division warnings (models with triplet component)
• Statistics view: some parameters were duplicated (#76)
• in 0.8.2-alpha2, old sessions could not be opened due to a typie. This is fixed now.

PyCorrFit 0.8.2-alpha2

Differences to 0.8.2

PyCorrFit 0.8.2-alpha1

• Fixes issue #64 and some minor bugs of the user interface.
• I set up a few virtual machines to compile PyCorrFit for Ubuntu (x86 for better compatibility).

PyCorrFit 0.8.2

• The documentation has been thoroughly reworked
• The user is now warned if he does not have a TeX distribution installed
• Improvements:
  • Complete support for installing PyCorrFit with virtualenv and pip
    (This is documented in the wiki)
  • Statistics tool now displays average and SD (#43)
• Bugfix: TeX did not work on Ubuntu due to missing imports
