How to install this version of Wintrack...

1. Remove any previous versions of Wintrack from your system - or make sure that you do not install the new version to a program folder that already contains an older version.
2. Run Install2430323.exe. The WinZip Self-Extractor dialog box appears. Specify a destination folder for unzipping the files. This folder will be the Wintrack program folder. The suggested default is C:\Wintrack. Click the Unzip button to start the unzipping process.
3. WinZip Self-Extractor extracts the Wintrack files and folders to the specified program folder and displays a message when done. Click OK to close the message window. Back to the WinZip Self-Extractor dialog, click the Close button.
4. Next, you can create a desktop shortcut to the program. Open the folder into which you have installed Wintrack. Select the application file Wtr32.exe and drag it to the desktop. If you want to edit the name of the shortcut or want to specify a working directory for Wintrack, right-click the shortcut and select rename from the menu which appears.
5. Double click the shortcut to run Wintrack. It looks for an initialization file WTR2430227.INI in the Windows directory of your system. The file may already exist if you have previously used Wintrack 2.4.20630 or later. If the initialization file is not found, the following happens:
   • The program issues a message telling you that an initialization file WTR2430227.INI is being created in the Windows directory of your system.
   • Then Wintrack runs the Locate Help Home Page dialog asking you to specify the path to the help home page file Index.htm. During installation, this file was unzipped to the subfolder Hlp of the Wintrack program folder.
   • Finally it automatically starts the on-line tutorial which is part of its on-line help system and provides a step by step introduction to working with Wintrack.

How to remove Wintrack...

1. Delete the Wintrack program folder and all files and subfolders it may contain.
2. From the Windows folder of your system delete the configuration settings file WTR2430227.INI.
3. Remove the program shortcut from the desktop.

What has changed since version 2.4.21214...

• The Acquire Noldus Experiment command allows to correct object area for different resolutions by specifying an area scaling factor.
• The Import GPSMS1 command handles trial durations and release delays > 24h. Its flexibitiy in accepting GPS data from different sources and in different formats has been improved. Also, up to 16 extended fields can be added to GPS logs in order to transfer additional synchronously recorded data into Wintrack supplemental data streams.
• The Open Scrollsheet command has a new option called add time series permitting to merge data from two scrollsheets based on time stamps. Also, scrollsheets can now have up to 61439 lines.
• The Cmnt parameter of the variable definition statement Tabulate recognizes the tag "hours" to activate the hhh:mm:ss time format which allows hours to grow larger than 24h.
• The variable definition statement Matrix calculates path linearity when Data=Linearity.
• New Modes have been added to the variable definition statement Memory, permiting to add, subtrac, multiply or divide matrices upon recall.
• New Modes have been added to the variable definition statement Transform. The mode Frame permits to specify explicit values for matrix cells. The mode Step performs the same action as Diff, but in downstream direction.
• The Tgt parameter can be omitted in the variable definition statement Compare in order to compare all trials against a given reference trial. Mode Plead was revised to take into account the flight direction of reference bird as well. Comparison of two birds is now strictly reciprocal.
