SimLabel: a GUI to simulate cw EPR from spin labeling

[Emilien]

LATEST VERSION AT THE END OF THIS TOPIC (click here)

Dear EasySpin users,

SimLabel is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which uses some EasySpin functions.
SimLabel provides an easy way to visualize, simulate and fit cw EPR spectra, especially resulting from SDSL-EPR experiments (Site-Directed Spin Labeling).
Its use does not require coding and enables the user to be focused on the simulation process, on the results and their interpretation. It consists of a mixing board, with sliders, and is as intuitive as possible. Basic EasySpin knowledge is recommended but not mandatory.

In the attached zip, simlabel.m and SimLabel_documentation.pdf are present.
Getting started:
Paste these two files in a folder of the MATLAB’s path without changing the names.
Select the local folder for your SimLabel session in the MATLAB main window (Note that you must be allowed to write in this directory. The directory of your spectra is advised).
Launch SimLabel by typing

Code: Select all

simlabel

in the command window.
The documentation is accessible clicking "?" in the "SimLabel_main" window.
When the user hovers the pointer over a graphical control (like buttons, popup menus, sliders …), without clicking it, a tooltip may appear with information about the item being hovered over.

I hope this will be helpful,
Enjoy

Dear users,
More details on SimLabel are now availabale in the following publication:
Etienne at al, 2017, Magnetic Resnance in Chemistry, DOI: 10.1002/mrc.4578 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mrc.4578)
If you use results obtained with the help of SimLabel in any scientific publication, please cite this paper and Stoll et al, J. Magn. Reson. 178(1), 42-55 (2006).

Many thanks,
Emilien ETIENNE

An upgraded version (simlabel.m and documentation) is available!
Correlation times can now be anistropic!
This new version is compatible with old simulations (isotropic correlation time).
Just replace the previous files...

Hi Emilien, a nice tool.

However, I have just encountered an error like following when I try to run simlable :

??? Error: File: simlabel.m Line: 460 Column: 24
Unexpected MATLAB operator.



What should I do ? The version of Matlab I used is Matlab R2009a.

Thanks a lot,
Given

Hi Given,
thanks for your interest.
this problem is related to the version of Matlab you used.
SimLabel was developped using Matlab R2010a. Unfortunately, I did not find any information on the changes between these two releases concerning the '~' symbol.
So I am sorry to say that the R2010a is at least required... Unless anyone else has an idea?

AFAIK, the ~ was introduced in R2009b. You can change the line

Code: Select all

function closeSimLabel(~,~)

to

Code: Select all

function closeSimLabel(src,evt)

and it should work for older version as well.

Good to know... Thanks Stefan.

Given, please try this version of SimLabel (for Matlab 2009a and previous) and tell me if it works.

Sorry for the delay.

I just got a new version of matlab and it works well.

Thanks for the help.
