[AlliGator Software Support]

Installer available at: https://github.com/smXplorer/AlliGator/blob/main/installer/latest/AlliGator 0.92 Installer.zip (use the button on the left hand side of the window if the file is not automatically downloaded).

From the version history page:

 

• Bug Fixes

  • Fixed error handling in fit output calculations

  • Fixed missing “Export User-Defined Quantity Map as ASCII” in Source Image context menu

  • Fixed missing Phasor Calibration Series calibration of existing phasor plots

  • Fixed a bug where the phasor ratio references were not properly reordered according to the user request

  • Fixed show/Hide UC bug in the Phasor Plot whereby the ticks and labels were not hidden

  • Fixed bug in computation of the phasor ratio plot/average lifetime plot in a Series phasor analysis

  • Fixed behavior of “Compute Phasor Ratio at Mouse Location”

  • Changed default upper percentile of sliced Mean and SDV to 100 (was 0 but interpreted as 100-x, which was confusing)

  • Fixed missing Calibration Lifetime contextual menu in Phasor Graph panel

  • Fixed Min Decay Percentile input range (was [0, 1] instead of [0, 100])

• New Features

  • Updated fit output to add information on IRF type and offset step (when relevant)

  • Removed “Period” from Decay Simulation Parameters (using the parameter defined in Fit Options)

  • Added warning when the user asks to display simulated decays, fits & residuals in Fit Method Benchmark, if the number of simulations is > 1,000

  • Added Sequential ROIs Dataset Series Phasor and NLSF Analysis scripts

  • Added constraint on the Baseline parameter of Decay Simulation Parameters so that the # Photon Counts is >=0 and Baseline x # Bins is an integer

  • Now simulating background as a random number of counts with Baseline = average background counts/bin. The # Counts parameter in Fit Simulation Parameters is equal to the sum of these background counts and photon counts

  • Added # Bins in Fit Simulation Parameters in Fit Method Benchmark

  • Cosmetic changes to Settings>>Data Information

  • Made Convolution with IRF, Cumulative Function, Rebin Plot functions in Decay Graph multiplot compatible

  • Moved “Define Intensity Corrections” to Analysis>>FLI Dataset Series menu

  • Changed behavior of Calibration Series to use the last calibration in case the calibration series is not long enough

  • Modified function of “Set Reference n to Current Phase Lifetime” (Current Phasor context menu) to actually do what it says rather than doing the same as “Set Reference n to User-defined Lifetime” (Phasor Graph context menu)

  • Added loaded references information to Notebook

  • Now checking that loaded references have been defined with the same phasor frequency as the current one. If not, offers to load them corrected for the new phasor frequency.

•   Modified Phasor Ratio calculation (at Mouse Location) to actually perform this task (not using the last computed phasor)

Reminder:

There is not need for Administrator rights to install AlliGator, as it is installed on a per user basis in the local user application folder.
