StarStatistics class and ReadPSF process module

[NKV]

Other ideas are highly welcome, as long as other interface proposals.

What about extract the X.Y from mouse position?

[Carlos Milovic]

Yes, this is one of the first features I'll include. Is quite easy to implement.

[Carlos Milovic]

Added win 32 compilation, and fixed broken links (sorry).

[RobF2]

Installed the Win32.  FWHM values seem reasonable.  Will have to compare figures with some other software.
Agree X,Y extracted from mouse click will be nicely eventually.

5- To compile the code, select the Release option (change it from Debug), and then click on "Build Solution".
6.- If successful, the new module should be created in PixInsight's bin folder.
7.- Open PI and install the module.

Carlos thank you for step-by-step instruction. Compilation successful. But I got some warning... see log:

Hi Nikolay,

Just disregard those warnings; they are completely harmless (and useless, too).

[Carlos Milovic]

And unavoidable Those warning are inherited from the PCL definition of Control. Just ignore them.

Guys thanks.

[Carlos Milovic]

I found a bug with the ReadPSF process, when creating process icons (standalone ReadPSF ones, or inside a ProcessContainer, like a ProcessHistory). The isSimmetric parameter is not stored adequately. This will be fixed next time I upgrade the code.

How to get access to *** PSF results *** from script?

[Carlos Milovic]

Right now, you can't. For the next upload I'll create a few new variables that will hold the psf results, and then they should be accessed by a script. Sorry but I have been busy at the university, so I had no time to do this before. I'll try to perform that this weekend.

[NKV]

Thank you.

Carols is there any recent update on this tool? What is the current version for Win64bit?

Are all process's for PI written in Cpp?

Edit update
Ok I tried to download your compiled Dll file and placed it in \prgoram files\pixinsight\bin\ folder. Tried to Install it from Install Module but I get errors about a possible hack etc.

Installing 1 module(s):
C:/Program Files/PixInsight/bin/ReadPSF-pxm.dll
<* failed *>
*** PixInsight API Error: Module: C:/Program Files/PixInsight/bin/ReadPSF-pxm.dll: Module initialization error: Exit code: 1
*** Warning: No modules were installed.

What am I Doing wrong here?

Hi Fahim
The latest version is in my thread collecting all the development modules I've wrote
http://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=2275.0

The ReadPSF process is inside the CMSegmentation module. There are few changes. In terms of GUI, I added a "readout mode" that allows you to select the coordinates using the mouse position and clicking over a star.
There are the Windows and Linux 64bit releases.


Yes, all the modules are done using the C++ language. I think that Juan has plans to include others, but don't expect that to be any-time soon.


Hmmm. That is strange. I'm going to download the same file and try to install it.

[Carlos Milovic]

Do you have the latest CMSegmentation release? Are you running PI Core 1.7? I checked on my Windows system, and I've got the process running without problems.
