k-Wave Toolbox Previous   Next

Troubleshooting

If you are unable to run the examples or see the help files included within the k-Wave Toolbox, first check that the k-Wave Toolbox has been added to the MATLAB path. To add a directory to the MATLAB path, either use the addpath command or go to File/Set Path/Add Folder on the dropdown menus in the main MATLAB window and select the root k-Wave Toolbox folder. You will need to restart MATLAB before the help files will appear in the help browser.

If you are encountering problems using specific combinations of inputs using Octave or older versions of MATLAB, try turning the display off by setting the optional input parameter 'PlotSim' to false, using a binary sensor mask or setting 'CartInterp' to 'nearest', and using the default settings for 'DataCast' (optional inputs are given as 'string', value pairs following the kgrid, medium, source, and sensor inputs).

If you are still having problems go to the online k-Wave User Forum and search for an answer or post a question.

Compatability with earlier MATLAB versions

To use k-Wave with MATLAB versions prior to 2008a, type open kspaceFirstOrder2D at the MATLAB command line and replace lines 675 to 704 with:

try
    disp('  calculating Delaunay triangulation (tsearch)...')
    [zi, del_tri] = gridDataFast(kgrid.x, kgrid.y, p, sensor_x, sensor_y);
    use_TriScatteredInterp = false;
catch
    error('The inbuilt function tsearch is not supported in this version of MATLAB. Try running the simulation with ''CartInterp'' set to ''nearest'' or using a different data type.');
end

Similarly, type open kspaceFirstOrder3D and replace lines 763 to 773 with:

error('Linear interpolation is not supported in this version of MATLAB. Try running the simulation with ''CartInterp'' set to ''nearest''');
