Dont forget some tutorials you may have missed are HERE
Note if PlateAnalyzer just won't run: Sometimes odd things might happen that prevent you from running PlateAnalyzer - some error that pops up and closes the program. This is often an imcompatibility within the "ini" file that remembers all the details about your screen location, size, history etc. You can delete or rename the ini file and this solves most errors. However if you do this, you will lose your history file. The "ini" file is names Platan.ini and is located in
C:\Users\jpr\AppData\Roaming\PlatAn (replace \jpr\ directory with your personal directory of course!!!)

March 2013 - Version 2.7
Lots of mods and is fairly stable
December 2012 - Version 1.6 Multicore
This version incorporated a major new feature which can read data from a data file and deposit a plate layout back into the data directory so that the next time that plate is read, the drug names for example will be loaded when the OPEN LAYOUT button under HEATMAP is selected. Similarly, if you create a new layout, you can save that back to the data directory being analyzed with the SAVE LAYOUT button.
Concentration files can also be IMPORTed or EXPORTed.

Minor fixes and some updated features.
June 15, 2012 Major upgrade (version 1.2.3.17)
Now reads Partec files and also reads their compensation tables. Has a new feature for CyTOF debarcoding built in. New Icons to replace tired old ones. When selecting files from a list of FCS files, it can now read file names that do not end in FCS - use the "show all files" button". Many small useful features incorporated and a few errors fixed.
March 15, 2012 - Major upgrade
The Logic map has been completely rewritten and is now 10 times faster than it was. This was a big task. We have changed the drug containers and all icons than now can operated under multiple links. These can also be simultaneously links.
The pathway of active pathways is a darl solid line, of inactive pathways is a dotted line. The active path is now a bright yellow line.
1.2.2.0 reading SMILES was added
Drag&Drop added where you can drag file names or PAP files to the program rather than loading them the usual way.

Minor fixes. Incorporates CYTOF debarcoding code. Fix minor change in Concentration table opening.
Version 1.1.1 Build 9, September 22, 2011
Changed directory save allow automated installation into user/profile directory (Windows 7). This allows automated updating when you open the program and it will tell you if an update is present.

They now must copy their license file which is planan.lic into c:/program files/PUCL/Plate Analyzer or for 64 bit systems it will be in c:/program files (x86)/PUCL/Plate Analyzer. This also installs Plate Analyzer into the START menu.
