Why Using CytoSpec 64-bit?
Compared to the standard version of CytoSpec 32-bit, CytoSpec 64-bit (x64) allows to handle much larger data files. While
applications running under Windows 32-bit can use only less than 2 GB of memory, Windows 64-bit (x64) supports much larger
amounts of RAM. This enables applications like CytoSpec to work with much larger data files and allows rapid data access
by the 64-bit processor. The speed of the calculations is usually not affected.
What are the differences between 64-bit and 32-bit releases of CytoSpec (OS: Microsoft Windows)?
Except the larger address space which can be used by CytoSpec 64-bit, there are usually no functional differences between
32-bit and 64-bit editions of CytoSpec.
Exceptions: import routines for Thermo/Raman data files, and for
WITec *.mat files (Matlab formatted). Both import functions are available only for
CytoSpec 64-bit.
Specification of computer configuration
- Processor: 64-bit CPU from Intel or AMD
- Operating system: Microsoft Windows 64-bit Systems: Windows 10 or 11. Outdated Windows 64-bit versions XP,
Vista, 7, or 8 are not recommended!
- Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR) Environment R2014a 64-bit, or R2020a 64-bit (The Mathworks). MCR files are available free
of charge from
 The
Mathworks website.
- CytoSpec 64-bit will be installed as a stand-alone application. A free software demo can be downloaded
here (the license key must be ordered separately).
Registered users can send an e-mail with their request to
service@cytospec.com.
- Memory: 4096 MB (4GB)) minimum. In order to use the advantages of the 64-bit architecture, the amount of
installed memory (RAM) should be larger than 4 GB (8 GB of RAM, or more are recommended).
How to install the stand alone version of CytoSpec 64-bit (OS: Microsoft Windows)?
- Login with your Windows user account, download
and unzip the CytoSpec 64-bit installation package.
- Download the Windows version of the Matlab Compiler Runtime (MCR) Environment R2014a 64-bit from the website of
The Mathworks.
Install the MCR2014a Windows 64-bit. Do not install other versions than MCR2014a 64-bit!
- Start CytoSpec.64bit.2.00.xx.setup.exe and follow the instructions of the installation routine
- Trial version users only: the license file 'cytospec.lic' is not included in the installation package.
To register for a free, time-limited demo license please send an e-mail with your name and the name of the institution
you are working for to the address
service@cytospec.com.
The license key will be provided as an e-mail attachment. Copy the key file sent per e-mail into the DiaryDir
folder of the CytoSpec installation (this is usually C:\Users\Public\Documents\Matlab, administrator rights are
sometimes required).
- When setup is complete you can find a new program group and a CytoSpec shortcut on the desktop.
- Start the program by double clicking on the CytoSpec icon.
How to install CytoSpec pcode as a toolbox under Matlab (OS: Microsoft Windows)?
CytoSpec 64-bit can also be installed as a p-code toolbox under Matlab (OS: Microsoft Windows). For this, a full Matlab license
is required. The following instructions refer to 64-bit CytoSpec installations prior to 2.00.05. Please note that the CytoSpec
p-code version will be discontinued with the availability of the 64-bit stand-alone CytoSpec v. 2.00.05.
- Create an additional directory e.g. '\ftir' in the existing toolbox directory structure of your Matlab installation.
The complete path to the toolbox directory should be similar to
'C:\program files\Matlab\R2014a\toolbox\matlab\ftir'
(may vary!) with C:\program files\Matlab\R2014a equaling the variable 'matlabroot'. You can check this variable
by typing
>> matlabroot
at the Matlab command prompt. Note that the directory 'C:\program files\Matlab\R2014a\toolbox\matlab' should contain
additional subdirectories such as \winfun oder \timefun.
- Unpack now the zip archive 'CytoSpec.2.00.xx.pcode.zip' and copy all files into the new subdirectory ...\ftir
('2.00.xx' denotes the pcode toolbox version number).
- Start Matlab and enter at the command prompt
>> edit pathdef
- The editor will now load the file 'pathdef.m'. After the comment line
%%% BEGIN ENTRIES %%%
add a new line with the complete path to the CytoSpec toolbox
matlabroot,'\toolbox\matlab\ftir;',...
- Save pathdef.m then restart Matlab or type
>> rehash toolbox
at the Matlab command prompt.
- To run CytoSpec call the file 'ftir.p' by typing
>> ftir
at the Matlab command prompt.
- Function Synthon imaging: this function requires the
files 'AnnEval.exe' and 'Neuro.dll
' being copied to the location C:\Program files (x86)\CytoSpec\CytoSpec
- Do not forget to copy your personal license key 'cytospec.lic' into the CytoSpec p-code toolbox directory ...\ftir!
