I used the blank "Dault "X-data on the Multi-plot Main panel like
this:
"Slice" also works.
On the "Multi-plot Y-data" panel, you'd need "X-data" set to default
like this:
I was able to duplicate your problem on the 4.0.0.1 Mac build. I'm
not sure what's causing it right now, but I've logged the bug so
that we can take a look at a later time since you have a work around
version.

Thanks Karen,
I was using verion 4.0.0.1 on OSX. After switching to
3.4.0.25 it works.
However I was unable to plot it properly. All measures
display in the same column.
I tried to select as X-data the "slice", "default" or " "
columns, but it didn't work either.
How did you select "Sample Number" as X-data?
Thank you.

Hi Alnair,
I didn't have any problem running photometry on your AVI file
(see below) using AIJ 3.4.0.25 running under Windows 10 and
Java 64 bit. See the image and light curve below.
One issue is that the AVI file format does not provide fits
headers (of course). The fits headers contain timing
information that AIJ uses to extract timing to display on the
light curve plot. I believe in older AIJ versions, AIJ would
hang if no timing information was found. Ensure that you have
updated AIJ to the latest daily build following these
instructions:
http://astroimagej.1065399.n5.nabble.com/After-a-fresh-installation-of-AIJ-be-sure-to-update-to-the-latest-build-td142.html
If that doesn't solve the problem, click the lower portion of
the AIJ Toolbar and report the information displayed in the
lower part of the Toolbar. Also report the OS you are running.
Also include a screen grab of the Multi-plot set-up panel
before you click "Place Apertures".

Hi,
From some types of astronomical events (i.e. star
occultations by minor planets) fast photometry was
required in order to get useful results, so many
astronomers registered the phenomenon with high
sensitivity video cameras with precise time leveling
taken from a GPS device.
Here is a sample still image of a such videos:
AstroImageJ seems to understand the video format
(AVI uncompressed) it shows all the frames (just
letf-right mirrored).
However, multi aperture photometry doesn't work.
After setting up the apertures it doesn't
start processing the images.
This is how AstroImageJ looks after pressing
<Enter> to start processing:
It would be nice if it works, since AstroImageJ is
better on photometry (in my opinion) than other
alternatives other astronomers use.
Here is a sample uncompressed video (warning, 346
Mb)
Maybe it's easy to solve. It seems it nearly works.
Thanks,
