SimplexNumerica has a setup program which configures it for the version of Windows that you are using. Some things will not work if you do not install it correctly.

To install from a Self-extracting Executable File, run the file, and follow the on-screen instructions.

To install SimplexNumerica from CD-ROM, insert it in your drive and follow the on-screen instructions. If the setup does not start automatically, open the CD-ROM drive in Explorer and run setup.exe manually.

Before you start SimplexNumerica for the first time, you must have installed the program.

Please start the program Simplex.exe from the explorer, start menu or from the desktop.

Now, before you operate directly with SimplexNumerica, first, you should setup the data arrays of the program.

Whether you have 300 or 3000 measuring data points, a difference in resource handling will overcome. You should setup the following arrays therefore meaningfully, so that you break your system not unnecessarily.

Please select from the Pulldown-menu <Settings> the menu <Preferences> and then the submenu <Memory>.

Here you can setup the memory configuration according to your request.  Afterwards the program should be restarted for better memory exploitation.

The following dialogbox will be called:

Setup the appropriated dimensions in the dialog and press the button ok and in the next alert box say yes.

The memory dimension will be stored in the file name <Simplex.PAR>. This file is loading automatically during each program start.

Again, Quit Program and restart it!

Here now a description of the individual entries:

max. Number of CurveData:

·        Sizing of the measured value array, i.e. Number of measured values, called in SimplexNumerica SampleData. 

·        Sizing of the CurveData array, i.e. Number of supporting places for the calculation of the Approximation and Interpolation algorithms, called in SimplexNumerica CurveData.

·        Sizing of the Error Array. 

·        Sizing of some important internal arrays, i.e. continuously storage space. 

If you need more supporting number of data in the course of operating, then you can increment it later on again.

Would you like to change, for instance only the CurveData up to the maximal dimension, please use the dialog under the Pulldown-menu <Algorithm> menu point <SamplePoints>. 

…use for the moment from it:

Setup the number of CurveData to use at the moment. You can imagine that a smaller degree of amount stands for more speed.

Number of Curves:

The number of measurement rows (SampleData) or the number of CurveData will be setup here.

Drawing Memory for Vector Graphics: 

Storage requirement for the integrated Vector graphic section of SimplexNumerica.  The value is indicated in bytes. 

Note: If the memory configuration is modified, the program should be restarted.
