Installation Notes

To install the release version of this package, first download and unzip the ZIP archive. Then, follow one of three paths:


  1. Move the XMLNoteTools folder into the User Procedures folder of Igor Pro. Include the command
    #include "XMLNoteTools"

    or
    #include "XMLNoteToolsPanel"

    in your package or insert it in the command window. The former installs only the command functions, and the latter installs the control panel.



  2. Follow the method above. Create a shortcut/alias to the file XMLNoteTools.ipf or a shortcut to XMLNoteToolsPanel.ipf. Move the shortcut/alias into the Igor Procedures folder of Igor Pro. The functions or panel will then always be accessible to all experiments.



  3. Move the XMLNoteTools folder into the Igor Procedures folder of Igor Pro. The module will then always be accessible to all experiments. (This method is the least preferred one!)

After installing the folder, make an alias/shortcut of the file XMLNoteToolsHelp.ihf. Put this alias/shortcut in the Igor Help Files folder.
