DatLab

MitoPedia O2k and high-resolution respirometry: O2k-Open Support

Description

DatLab is the O2k-Software for Data Acquisition & Analysis, specifically developed for high-resolution respirometry with the O2k.

The newest DatLab version is DatLab 8, included in the O2k-Packages. NextGen-O2k and O2k-Series J* and higher come with DatLab 8 installed on the integrated PC (Linux). DatLab 8 is required for the NextGen-O2k. DatLab 8.1 is compatible with O2k-Series (E and higher).

The DatLab software is designed for 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems and does not run on MAC devices.

The minimum computer requirements are Intel-Core-2 or equivalent CPU, 2GB RAM and Windows XP (64-bit version). However, we recommend Intel i5 or equivalent CPU, 4GB RAM, Windows 10 (64-bit version) and SSD. For the proper display of DatLab on your computer, please make sure the “Language settings” are set to English.

*Optionally available without integrated PC.

-=== Install DatLab 6 for a single O2k ===
-# Open the directory "OROBOROS O2k-Course on HRR" on the OROBOROS USB-Stick and open the filefinder and click on "DatLab Install" to start the installation.
-# You may be asked to permit the installation by the Windows operating system.
-# C:\DatLab will be suggested as installation directory. Usually this will be also be the directory used by DatLab5 and you can accept the suggestion.
-# Select "type of installation" = "typical" this will keep your instrument specific setting (chamber labels, calibration parameters) but may overwrite some layouts.
-# If desired, select the additional tasks that should be done during setup, i.e. crating a desktop icon,  start menu entires or a file association (which allows to open DatLab files by double clicking them).
-=== Install DatLab 6 for two or more O2ks on one computer ===
-# Install two (or more) copies of DatLab in two (or more) different directories, e.g. DatLab_O2k1 and DatLab_O2k2.
+{{MitoPedia O2k and high-resolution respirometry
-# Create two or more shortcuts to the different .exe files. (the .exe files do not have to be renamed because they are in different directories). With this method you also have cleanly separated .ini files in the different directories.

-# Assign different Power O2k numbers (see [[MiPNet19.18A_O2k-Start]]) and activate Graph/Display Power-O2k (see [[MiPNet19.18C_DatLab_Guide]] to easily distinguish  the two DatLab windows on-screen, see
+}}
-== Upgrade DatLab ==
-# DatLab 6 can be installed within the directory of a previous DatLab version (recommended option). In this case all DatLab files will be kept, but some layouts are overwritten.
-# During the first start of DatLab 6 the information in any Datlab5.ini file in the same directory will be copied to Datlab6.ini, then Datlab5.ini will be deleted together with DatLab5.exe. The new executable file will be Datlab6.exe.
-If for some reason you want to use DatLab 5 and DatLab 6 on the same computer they have to be installed in two different directories.
-# The nomenclature of some default graph layouts has changed. We  recommend users upgrading from DatLab 5 to DatLab 6 to clean up their  Graph layouts after installing DatLab 6.
-== Compatibility ==
-* Compatibility with DatLab 5: DatLab 6 is downwards compatible with DatLab 5: DatLab 6 can read all files generated by DatLab 5.
-DatLab 5 is upwards compatible with 6 in regards to basic data storage. However, new features in DatLab 6 may cause problems e.g. in Marks Statistics. We therefore do not recommend to open files created with DatLab 6 in DatLab 5.
-* Compatibility with DatLab 4: DatLab 6 is downwards compatible with DatLab 4: DatLab 6 can read all files  generated by DatLab 4. However, DatLab 6 will save these files always in  the DatLab 5/6 format. Afterwards, these files will no longer be readable  by DatLab 4. Therefore, we recommend doing a complete transition from  DatLab 4 to DatLab 6, upgrading all computers. However, there is no need to mass convert the old DatLab 4 files. They can stay in the DatLab 4 format and will be converted by DatLab 6 when necessary.
-== Q&A ==
-'''Question:''' [[DatLab]] was installed successfully but when trying to run it I get errors complaining about access to some strange looking files.
-'''Alternative question:'''  When installing DatLab [in this users specific university], it is obligatory to install, and use the O2k, as a  PC administrator. Doing this precludes possibility of authorized O2k  users operating O2k logged in as guest user (non-administrative  account).  Is there a workaround to this? Thanks,
-'''Answer:'''
-There are two possible reasons for the described problems:
-# The default directory to install DatLab is the "root" directory C:/. Depending on your institutions polices ordinary users may (standard  procedure) or may not have write access to this high level directory.  So the first fix is to try to install DatLab in a directory in which all  users have write access. You can test this by generating and editing a simple text file in this directory.
-# It may be that the installation of ALL programs is restricted to  administrators by the settings in your institution. Obviously the  program has to be installed by an administrator in this case. However,  if the administrator installs the program into a directory in which  ordinary / guest users have write access, these users will be able to  use DatLab without any problems.
-'''Note:''' The following set up does NOT work: The user has READ but not  WRITE access to the directory DatLab is installed and wants to save the  resulting files in directory he has WRITE access to. Reason: DatLab  needs write access in the directory it is installed to to save  configurations and temporary files. '''Solution:''' Install DatLab to a  directory the user has full write access to.
-== Information for IT-administrators ==
-DatLab does not write to any part of the registry nor to any directory besides the program directory and its subdirectories, the data-directory and the users temporary files folder.
