At the command prompt, type "run_LiTrack_GUI" (case insensitive, no double quotes). A color panel will appear. Click "TRACK" for a very fast demo, or double-click one of the "Save/Restore Files" and then "TRACK", to track SPPS, LCLS, or an older TESLA-XFEL, etc.

(Optional) You can also arrange to have LiTrack start up at a simple click. After you have typed "run_LiTrack_GUI" (above) open the "Desktop" pull-down menu in the Matlab command window, choose "Command History" (if not already chosen), and note the command "run_LiTrack_GUI" appears here at the bottom of the command history list. Right-click this string and drag it up to the shortcuts bar. The Shortcut Editor window will ask for a shortcut label and an icon type (choose, for example, 'LiTrack' and 'MATLAB icon', or as you like). This shortcut will be available in future Matlab sessions as a quick LiTrack startup.
- At the command prompt, type "LiTrack('spps0')" (case insensitive, no double quotes). Several plots should soon appear on the screen and the tracking should finish in <1 minute (for a reasonable CPU).
A separate text file describes how to use and interpret LiTrack, but this should at least get you started.

* To set the Matlab path:
======================
Start Matlab, then in its command window, click the "File" pull-down menu, choose
"Set Path...", and click "Add with Subfolders...", browse over to the new unzipped
"LiTrack" folder, choose it, and then click "SAVE".
- Allow path instead of number of wakefiles (eg element 11 col 4 can be a path)
- Added names instead of numbers as popupmenu entries
- Since a considerable time can be spend in file IO only matlab files are accepted to be loaded. In case of old wake or particle files use translate_ascii_matlab.m to translate them prior to running LiTrack
- If you postprocess something from LiTrack and your beamline contains cutting elements don't forget to filter the output matrixes.
