FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Issue:
-
Why is the PLS_Toolbox help information not available in my Matlab help window?
Possible Solutions:
-
There are several possible reasons you may not be able to access PLS_Toolbox help information from Matlab's Help window:
A) Matlab version earlier than 7.0
- PLS_Toolbox's help is only available in the Matlab help browser in Matlab 7.0 and later. To access PLS_Toolbox help in earlier versions, use the command helppls.
B) Help Window Not Refreshed
- If you have just installed PLS_Toolbox and cannot access the help information in Matlab's Help window, you may need to restart Matlab. In some cases, you must restart Matlab after installing PLS_Toolbox for the help to be available.
C) PLS_Toolbox not installed in default folder
- If you renamed the folder containing the PLS_Toolbox m-files from "PLS_Toolbox" to a something else, Matlab will be unable to locate the help files. Later versions of PLS_Toolbox will automatically correct for this change but, for now, you must manually change the info.xml file in PLS_Toolbox's main folder:
1) Change the Matlab working directory to your PLS_Toolbox directory.
2) Type "edit info.xml" to open the file as a text file.
2) Change line 12 from:
<help_location>$toolbox/PLS_Toolbox/help</help_location>to:
<help_location>.\help</help_location>
