Click here, if you want the latest version of Field II for Matlab 7.
The download directory contains a number of compressed tar files. One for each computer type the program is running under (see below). In each are located all the files for the release. The tar file can be downloaded and then expanded to yield all files by using the gzip and tar programs on UNIX workstations or WinZip on PCs.
Note that this version of Field II is generated for working with the Matlab version 5.3 Windows code. For Matlab 6 under Windows and Linux you should click here for Matlab 6 and here for Matlab 7

The tar-file should be downloaded to the directory, that must hold the files. The file is then extracted by writing:
gzip -d "name_of_tar_file".tar.Z
tar -xvf "name_of_tar_file".tar
to uncompress and extract the files. The tar-file can then be deleted. The program can now be run from this directory or from an other directory by writing:
path(path,'/home/user/field_II/m_files');
field_init
where /home/user/field_II/m_files contains the Field II m-files. This ensures that the directory is included in the Matlab search path, and the user-written m-files can then be placed in a separate directory.
The individual files in the installation can be found here. From this you can view and download the individual m-files or the executable mex file for Field II.
A number of utility files can be found here. The can be used for displaying the transducer geometry, etc.
