The Benefits and Shortcomings of 64-bit Computing. You’ve read a little on the history of 64-bit computing and your system check indicates you can run 64-bit Windows. Windows 7 and Vista 64-bit by design does not allow you to load any unsigned drivers. This security feature does provide some protection against rootkits, but many.

Virtual Floppy Drive 2.1. This is a virtual floppy drive for Windows NT / 2000 / XP developed by Ken Kato (Reported to work also on 2003 Server and Vista). Igor for Windows Read. Me. This file describes the 6. Igor 6, known as IGOR6. As of this writing. May 2. 01. 6), IGOR6. ![]() Igor 6 on Windows only. We are working on a 6. Macintosh as part of our Igor 7 project, which should be available this year. ![]() IGOR6. 4 will be of interest only to users who need to load gigabytes of data into. Igor at one time. This may be in the form of several very large waves (e. GB each). or many smaller waves (e. ![]() ![]() ![]() MB each). If you are not dealing with gigabytes of data, you should stick with the standard. Igor. IGOR6. 4 will afford you no benefits and is likely to have more bugs. More is better. You should check the size of your virtual memory paging file. Details are provided. Virtual Memory Paging File. IGOR6. 4 Licensing. If you have an Igor Pro 6 license you are eligible to use IGOR6. IGOR6. 4 uses the. IGOR3. 2 6. 0 and later. Installing IGOR6. You must install IGOR3. IGOR6. 4. The updater adds the following to your IGOR3. Igor. 64. exe Application file Igor Extensions (6. Folder containing 6. XOPs and other supporting. More Extensions (6. Folder containing additional XOPs that you can. Before you run IGOR6. IGOR6. 4. Launching IGOR6. The IGOR6. 4 application is not . That is, it is not. Windows registry as being the application associated with Igor files. If you double- click an Igor file, Windows will launch and run IGOR3. Therefore. if you want to run IGOR6. Igor. 64. exe file in your Igor Pro folder, not an. Igor file. You may find it useful to create a shortcut for Igor. It is possible to run IGOR3. IGOR6. 4 at the same time. If you are running IGOR3. Igor. exe or Igor. Igor even if. another instance is already running. If you are running IGOR3. IGOR6. 4 in a separate instance: Right- click the Igor. Press and hold the control key. Choose Open from the contextual menu. When you see that IGOR6. Background Information. IGOR3. 2 works in a virtual address space of 2 GB, 3 GB or 4 GB depending on the operating. This is explained under Memory Management. A 6. 4- bit address is capable of addressing 1. GB or 1. 6E1. 8 bytes - see http: //en. However, current 6. Windows OS impose further limits. In practice, you are unlikely to hit this. The limiting factors in practice then become: How much physical RAM do you have? How much virtual memory swap space (on disk) do you have? How much patience do you have while Igor loads, processes, graphs and saves. Your actual maximum virtual memory is determined by the size of your virtual memory. If you load more data into Igor than you have physical memory, the operating system. Depending on your application, this may or may not. Your best bet is to install enough physical memory that swapping is not necessary. In this case you will need to devise a strategy for accessing your data in smaller sections. Running IGOR6. 4 on a Virtual Windows OSMacintosh users may be tempted to use VMWare Fusion or Parallels with 6. Windows. in order to run IGOR6. We did some very simple testing using Windows Vista 6. VMWare Fusion on a Mac Pro with 8 GB of memory. Here is what we found. The amount of RAM allocated to the virtual machine makes a big difference. With. just the default 2 GB allocated to the virtual machine, memory swapping made Igor run very slowly for. Allocating the 7 GB to the virtual machine made the entire machine, both Windows and. Macintosh, almost unuseable. We tested with 5 GB allocated to the virtual machine. We did three tests - a huge. We made the waves, assigned the number 1 to them. Here are the results, comparing a VMWare virtual machine against the same operating. Boot Camp (times in seconds): Virtual Machine. Boot Camp. Huge DP wave: make. Huge byte wave: make. Bottom line: It looks like the virtual machine performs acceptably for many big waves. The slow performance. K - you only have to do it once. Virtual Memory Paging File. Although IGOR6. 4 can, in theory, address 8 terabytes of virtual memory on Windows. This is a file (or multiple. Your virtual memory paging file must be set to at least about 9 GB. If you plan to run a. Igor then you will need a larger virtual memory paging file. You must be running as Administrator to change the virtual memory paging file size. On Windows XP- 6. Click Start. Right- click My Computer. Choose Properties. The System control panel appears. Click the Advanced tab. Click the Settings button in the Performance section. Click the Advanced tab. Click the Change button in the Virtual Memory section. Set the Maximum Size for the paging file to the desired size (at least 9 GB in. On Windows Vista/7/8/1. Click Start. Right- click Computer. Choose Properties. The System control panel appears. Click Advanced System Settings. The System Properties window appears. Click the Advanced tab. Click the Settings button in the Performance section. Click the Advanced tab. Click the Change button in the Virtual Memory section. Uncheck Automatically Manage Paging File Size if it is checked. Select the Custom size radio button. Set the Maximum Size for the paging file to the desired size (9 GB in our example)IGOR6. Limits. Although IGOR6. Windows. Igor checks for reasonable values for the size of waves. This is to catch programming goofs that could. The limits are ten times as large. IGOR3. 2 and it is very unlikely that they will be a practical restriction for your work. But if you. do run into the limits and feel they should be raised, let us know. IGOR6. 4 Experiment Files. IGOR6. 4 can store waves larger than the 3. Huge wave storage uses a new 6. Such experiment files will be at least partly readable by IGOR3. Igor. 6. 1 does not know about the new records used for huge waves and will simply skip over them. Unless the. waves are used in graphs or other windows, there will be no indication the data was skipped. IGOR3. 2 6. 2 (including beta versions released after IGOR6. By default, it will attempt to read new the records but a lack of memory. It can also be configured to silently skip the new records. The later mode is especially useful when a huge wave is. Note that even if you don't use huge waves, you can still create experiments containing. IGOR3. 2 can not load it all. Beta testers: Here are some controls you have over the above. Let us know if you. Remember that Set. Igor. Option settings last only until you. Igor. Also note that only versions of 3. March 2. 5th contain this code. Set. Igor. Option Use. New. Disk. Header.

If you want the new record type to be used only when it absolutely has to be, use 2. E9 (2. GB.). Set. Igor. Option Use. New. Disk. Header. Compress= bytes. When non- zero, if the size of the wave data exceeds this value and when the new. The default value is 0 (off) because. Igor will attempt to read all the records. If mode. is 1, then any waves with data size exceeding the Max. Bytes. Reading. Wave value will be silently skipped. Such partial waves will be marked. In addition, the wave note will contain the text. As of this writing, the following Wave. Metrics XOPs have not yet been ported to 6. Snd. Load. Save. Wave. NIGPIB2. VISA XOPMLLoad. Wave. TDMIf you have written your own XOP and you want to port it to 6. Igor XOP Toolkit 6 which is currently under development. Send a note to support@wavemetrics. XOP Toolkit 6. Let us know what you are up to just for our edification. If you depend on a third- party XOP and you want to run IGOR6. XOP and direct him or her to this help file. Features Not Supported by IGOR6. As mentioned above, some XOPs have not yet been ported to 6. Since there is no 6. Quick. Time for Windows, IGOR6. Quick. Time. This means that you can not create a Quick. Time movie using IGOR6. AVI movies. The Image. Load operation no longer uses Quick. Time to open various bitmap graphics file formats. Thus IGOR6. 4 can not load the following formats: PICT, GIF, Photoshop, Silicon Graphics, BMP and Targa. IGOR6. 4 can load these formats: TIFF, JPEG, PNG, raw PNG, and Sun Raster. Because IGOR6. 4 does not work with Quick. Time, the Snd. Load. Save. Wave XOP that loads sound files cannot be ported to IGOR6. Windows Automation does not work with IGOR6. We may provide this in the future. Gizmo. IGOR6. 4 includes a 6. Igor's 3. D graphics plotter called Gizmo. Gizmo. is usually limited not by main memory but by the amount of memory on your graphics card. If your Gizmo. application is limited by graphics memory, running IGOR6. You need to get. a fast graphics card with as much graphics memory as possible. How IGOR6. 4 Was Developed. Porting to 6. 4 bits required thousands of changes to Igor's source code. We did not. want to make thousands of changes to the source code used to create IGOR3. Igor source code for IGOR6. The new branch also. IGOR6. 4 is very close. IGOR3. 2 in terms of features. It is likely that, with all of these changes, we have introduced new bugs into IGOR6.
