Background
To start EPHUS, one must invoke a startup file at the MATLAB command line. The file is a MATLAB function file (i.e., .m extension), located in the current directory or somewhere on the user's MATLAB path.
Every user/rig requires a customized startup file. The best way to create this file is to modify one of the supplied [example files], which are constantly maintained on this site.
The startup files contain both configuration and application information. The vast majority of users only need to adjust the configuration information, which resides in clearly demarcated sections of the startup file.
This guide steps through a typical startup file (gephus.m). For completeness, both the configuration and application sections are described. Only power-users, however, should modify the application sections, and limited support can be provided in this case.

The Beginning
Here's the beginning of our startup file 'specimen':
function gephus %% STARTUP BOILERPLATE %Set up a wait bar to show the progress. wb = waitbarWithCancel(0, 'Starting ephus...', 'Name', 'Loading software...'); pos = get(wb, 'Position'); pos(2) = pos(2) - pos(4); set(wb, 'Position', pos);
