To work with 13C-Flux sucessfully, a few software-specific things should exist.
x86 computer with operating system Linux
StarOffice for reading a more elaborated documentation and editing FTBL (Flux-TaBLe) input files for convenience of the user.
octave (Matlab-like tool, often part of the LINUX distribution)
Unpack the file 13_FLUX.tar.gz (might be something like 20010115.tar.gz) in a new directory first (e.g. YOUR_FLUX_DIRECTORY).
mkdir ~/YOUR_FLUX_DIRECTORY
cd ~/YOUR_FLUX_DIRECTORY
tar -xzvf 13_FLUX.tar.gz
Change directory
cd 13CFlux
The following structure should be present now:
Documentation FTBL syntax (engl.) and FLUX tutorial (german only)
Example sandpit example: PPP
FBINS executable files
OctaveTools auxiliary tools
StandardNetwork more elaborated example
StarBasic some macros for StarOffice
Add to your .bashrc-file (bash-shell presupposed) the following lines
export LANG=us
export PATH=$PATH:/home/YOUR_USER_NAME/YOUR_FLUX_DIRECTORY/13CFlux/FBINS.SOFTWARE_DATE
These lines are necessary for StarOffice macros.
The PATH extension can be specified as mentioned above either in .bashrc or in the terminal where the executables should be launched.
This will preserve you from allot typing work.
Then configurate the english version of StarOffice in the following way (the notations may vary a little bit):
FTBL-sheets should be read in
directly, so
Tools -> Options -> Browser ->
FileTypes
Search type "*.csv" and replace by "*.ftbl",
press "Add" followed by the "OK"-Button.
A FTBL-sheet can be displayed on
the whole or can be splitted off in several sheets that are more
clearly to read.
Tools -> Macro -> Organizer ->
Libraries -> Append ->
YOUR_FLUX_DIRECTORY/13CFlux/StarBasic/FTBL_Bib.sbl.
Press "Open"
and choose the option "Save as separate file. "Close"
MacroOrganizer and "Cancel" Macro.
Create a new toolbar for
FTBL-sheets
Tools -> Configure -> Toolbars -> New ->
FTBL as a name, Contents: Text, Visibility: StarOffice ->
Customize.
Search StarOffice BASIC Macros |-> FTBL_Bib |->
Module1
Allocate relevant macros ("FTBL open", "FTBL
save", "FTBL save as", "FTBL Syntax Test") with
drag-and-drop.
For the german version of StarOffice look here:
FTBLTabellen können direkt
eingelesen werden
Extras -> Optionen -> Browser ->
Dateitypen
Suche den Typ "*.csv" (wird leicht
übersehen) und ersetze ihn durch "*.ftbl".
"Hinzufügen"- dann "OK"-Button drücken.
Eine FTBL Tabelle kann im Ganzen
dargestellt werden, oder in kleinere Tabellen aufgeteilt werden, die
übersichtlicher zu lesen sind.
Extras -> Makro ->
Verwalten -> Bibliotheken -> Hinzufügen ->
YOUR_FLUX_DIRECTORY/13CFlux/StarBasic/FTBL_Bib.sbl.
"Öffnen"
Knopf drücken und die Option "In eigener Datei speichern
" wählen. MacroOrganizer schließen und
Macro-Dialog verlassen
Eine neue Symbolleiste für
FTBL-Tabellen anlegen:
Extras -> Anpassen -> Symbolleisten
-> Neu -> FTBL als Namen, Inhalt: Text, Sichtbarkeit:
StarOffice -> Bearbeiten...
Suche StarOffice BASIC Macros |->
FTBL_Bib |-> Module1
Relevante Macros zuweisen ("FTBL
open", "FTBL save", "FTBL save as", "FTBL
