compilation error while try to open X scaling tutorial
daviddoji
when I try to follow this tutorial, Igor gives me that error:
Must use WAVE, NVAR, and SVAR to access global waves, variables and strings with #pragma rtGlobals=1
Error in TutorialEngine.ipf:TESetTutorialState
gTETutorialState=state
I have tried it in two different laptops with the same results. Any ideas for how to solve it?
Thanks in advance
You can fix it by adding this to the top of the Igor Pro 5 "Tutorial Engine.ipf" file:
You will have to edit this file in a new experiment, not in the X Scaling Tutorial experiment. The file is in "Igor Pro Folder\WaveMetrics Procedures\Utilities". After making the change you can then open the X Scaling Tutorial experiment.
Igor Pro 5 is very old. I recommend upgrading to Igor Pro 6.

Igor 5 is what my group use. They are a little bit reluctant to change (some of them are using windows XP, so you can imagine!) because they use some procedures and they are afraid if they have to rewrite them.
I will change when a Linux version would be launched.
