Below you will find links to tutorials about the IMAGEGUI, the main program for MVA of images in the NB toolbox.

I have taken a lot of time creating step by step tutorials on how to use each function within the IMAGEGUI.

You must go through ALL tutorials in order to use the IMAGEGUI properly.

The tutorials are available as pdf downloads. In each case
the tutorials will take you step by step through how to use the functions of the gui.

For best performance the IMAGEGUI should be used on a high end PC. The more memory and faster CPU the better. The IMAGEGUI will cause Matlab to run out of memory if you import image data sets with a large number of peak images (>100 to 150 peaks). I am working on improving the performance, but this is not easy with Matlab.
If you run into 'Out of Memory' errors, try reducing the size of the data set by down binning the image, or reducing the number of peak images in the data set.
You must include the total counts image and sum of rest image when exporting .bif/.bif6/.bif3d files from the Iontof software.
