PeakMaster NG

Introduction

PeakMaster NG is a graphical user interface for LEMNG model for simulations of capillary zone electrophoresis experiments. PeakMaster NG provides convenient means to enter input data for the LEMNG model and display the results of LEMNG's calculations. PeakMaster NG binaries and a user guide can be downloaded from the ECHMET research group website.

In case the primary ECHMET group site is down you may download PeakMaster binaries from a backup site

Building

The following tools and libraries are required to build PeakMaster NG

• C++14-aware compiler
• Qt 5 toolkit (Qt 5.6 or higher is required)
• Qwt toolkit
• SQLite 3
• ECHMETCoreLibs
• LEMNG
• ECHMETUpdateCheck

Refer to official documentation of the respective projects for details how to set them up.

Linux/UNIX

The README assumes that a system-wide installation of the Qt toolkit is available. If you intend to use a custom Qt installation, adjust the building steps accordingly.

1. Set up paths to dependencies accordingly to your setup in PeakMasterNG.pri file. See the content of the file for details.
2. cd to the directory with PeakMaster NG sources.
3. Create a new directory named build and cd into the directory
4. Run qmake ../PeakMasterNG.pro CONFIG+=release
5. Run make

Prior to launching the binary, make sure that all required binary libraries are available to the OS'es dynamic linker.

Compatibility with *NIX systems other than Linux has not been tested.

Windows

Windows building procedure relies on the Qt Creator IDE to set up and build the project.

1. Launch Qt Creator and load the PeakMasterNG.pro project file
2. Set up paths to dependencies accordingly to your setup in PeakMasterNG.pri file. See the content of the file for details.
3. Configure build path and select Release build in the Qt Creator interface. Consult the Qt Creator documentation for details.
4. Click Build.

Prior to launching the binary, make sure that all required binary libraries are available to the OS'es dynamic linker.
