Welcome to the SimTracker Forum! This forum area is your place to receive support about the SimTracker tool (http://mariannebezaire.com/simtracker/) as well as the associated NEURON code template (https://senselab.med.yale.edu/ModelDB/s ... del=187604). Feel free to ask questions, report bugs, or offer suggestions and show how you use SimTracker in this forum. You may also log any bugs or enhancement requests at the BitBucket SimTracker repository: https://bitbucket.org/mbezaire/simtrackercode.

**Note: As of June 6, 2016 SimTracker is in the process of being rolled out now, so not all of the documentation and code is available yet.**

Longer Description of SimTracker:
SimTracker is a MATLAB-based simulation management tool, in a user-friendly GUI format. It was developed over the course of my graduate studies and grew along with my research and modeling work. SimTracker is meant to address common problems faced by modelers, especially new modelers, and to support the entire model development process for large scale, parallel NEURON models. That includes configuring new simulations, storing their parameters and code version used (to ensure reproducibility and complete documentation of each simulation), executing the simulations locally or on various supercomputers and then uploading the results in a standard format back to SimTracker. Additionally, SimTracker allows for easy organization of results and model configurations, standard and customized analyses of results, and publication or display of model results and analyses.

In addition to the tool, there is an associated NEURON model code template. You can plug in your own cell and ion channel types, customize the stimulation and connectivity, or just consult the template for ideas as to how to implement your own parallel NEURON model. The template can be used independently of SimTracker if you prefer to use another simulation management tool or process (see Subtopic Other tools for help with other simulation tools).

Hello!
After installing Sim Tracker I encounter the following issue when trying to run NetClamp.
As per the installation instructions I run Netclamp from the CA1 repository while importing the ca1_centerlfp_long_exc_065_01 from Open Science Framework.
Any help with this matlab error would be greatly appreciated!


Error using handleME (line 8)
Unable to open file.

Error in NewNetClamp>btn_execute_Callback (line 1132)
handleME(ME)

Error in gui_mainfcn (line 95)
feval(varargin{:});

Error in NewNetClamp (line 42)
gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});

Error in matlab.graphics.internal.figfile.FigFile/read>@(hObject,eventdata)NewNetClamp('btn_execute_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject))

Error while evaluating UIControl Callback
