LabKit Apps

LabKit apps are independent MATLAB tools for complete laboratory workflows. Choose an app by the result you need, then use its app page for supported inputs, controls, interaction behavior, calculations, outputs, recovery, and programmatic APIs.

Start An App

Open labkit_launcher, select one app, and choose Open. The launcher's Documentation and History action opens the selected app page.

Source-checkout users can also call an app command after adding LabKit to the MATLAB path:

labkit_launcher
% Or, after repository path setup:
labkit_CIC_app

See Getting Started for installation, updating, version selection, and source-checkout setup. The LabKit Launcher manual documents its complete interactive and programmatic surface.

How To Read An App Page

Concrete app pages use a common MATLAB-style order:

purpose, requirements, and launch command;
supported inputs and the shortest successful workflow;
controls and interaction behavior;
calculation or algorithm semantics, units, and assumptions;
outputs, project files, autosave, and recovery behavior;
GUI-free MATLAB examples and public app-owned APIs;
errors, limitations, troubleshooting, related topics, and history.

The app page documents stable user-visible behavior. Exact callable syntax and data shapes live on the linked API reference pages. Internal callbacks and private implementation helpers are intentionally omitted.

Shared framework contracts are documented once in the App Framework, not repeated in every App page. An App page mentions shared behavior only when that App changes it or when the behavior is necessary to complete the App's workflow.

Common App Behavior

The App Framework owns lifecycle, busy state, file selection, state snapshots, screenshot actions, plot tools, and managed interactions. Apps own scientific choices, workflow-specific defaults, result schemas, and exports. See the App Framework for behavior shared across apps.

Action and input-selection buttons provide concise hover help. The shared Tools menu contains plot, screenshot, and project-state actions when the corresponding capability is available.

Input data and exported results should remain outside the replaceable LabKit runtime folder. Apps do not overwrite source files unless an app page states an explicit in-place operation.

Programmatic Use

Important scientific and deterministic app operations can be called without opening the GUI. Each app page identifies its supported app-owned functions and links them to the generated API Reference. Reusable file parsers and generic processing functions live in the public labkit.* libraries.

MATLAB must be able to see both the repository root and the owning app root. The launcher prepares these paths automatically. In a source checkout, add them explicitly before calling an app package:

repoRoot = "/path/to/LabKit-MATLAB-Workbench";
addpath(repoRoot)
addpath(fullfile(repoRoot, "apps", "electrochem", "cic"))

help cic.analysisRun.computeCIC

For another app, replace the final app path with the directory that directly contains its +package folder. Do not add every repository subfolder with genpath; app roots are independent and may contain same-named private or development files that should not become global MATLAB commands.
