INDEXES of IGOR Pro FilesUpdate FTP Archive

The FilesUpdate directory contains WaveMetrics updaters to the Igor application and updated installed files for Igor 4, 5, and 6.

The updated installed files were typically uploaded between releases of Igor, and the later versions of Igor incorporated the changes, even improving on them. Nonetheless, the updated files can be of use to older versions of Igor that entirely lack these files.

However, some of the files are not included with Igor: they were developed to address customer questions and uploaded to the FTP site for sharing with other customers.

  • MLLoadWave_OSX_551.zip

    MLLoadWave_OSX.xop and MLLoadWave Help.ihf

    Version 5.51, May 24 2004, Mac OS X only, requires Igor Pro 5.00 or later.

    MLLoadWave is an Igor extension that loads Matlab MAT-files into Igor Pro. We have not tested Matlab file formats after version 5 but in theory MLLoadWave should be able to load them.

    MLLoadWave adds a menu item to Igor's Load Waves submenu (in the Data menu). It also adds the MLLoadWave command line operation.

    Under Mac OS X, MLLoadWave_OSX.xop does not run unless you have installed and configured the necessary Mathworks-supplied shared libraries. The libraries are shipped with Matlab and installed in your Matlab directory when you install Matlab. The configuration is explained in the included help file.

  • NIGPIB2 XOPs for Igor 5.05A

    Sep 9, 2004

    NIGPIB2 is an Igor external operation (XOP) that permits you to control a National Instruments GPIB board from Igor's command line or from an Igor procedure. It works on both Macintosh and Windows.

    For Mac OS X, use the NIGPIB2_OSX XOP instead of the NIGPIB2 XOP. As of this writing, National Instruments supports only the GPIB-ENET/100 hardware on Mac OS X.

    This version of NIGPIB2 requires Igor Pro 5.0 or later.

    NIGPIB2 sprang from NIGPIB, an earlier XOP. The main difference is that the operations added by NIGPIB2 can be used from user functions. For new programs, you should use NIGPIB2. Old Igor programs can continue to use the old NIGPIB XOP until the opportunity arises to convert them to use NIGPIB2.

    NIGPIB2 (Use for all new programming)

  • GISLoadWave XOP

    Sep 9, 2004, version 1.0

    GISLoadWave.zip (Mac)

    GISLoadWave.xop and GISLoadWave Help.ihf.

    GISLoadWave is an external operation that loads data from USGS Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Digital Line Graph (DLG) files into Igor waves. GISLoadWave handles both traditional and SDTS-formatted versions of these files. This version of GISLoadWave requires Igor Pro 4.0 or later.

    The GISLoadWave XOP adds four command line operations to Igor: DEMLoadWave, DEMSDTSLoadWave, DLGOLoadWave and DLGSDTSLoadWave.

    In addition, the package includes a help file and a procedure file, GISLoadWaveProcs.ipf.

    The procedure file includes a few procedures to handle graphing and coloring DLG data sets. The procedure file includes comments to help you use the functions defined in the file.
