Multiple lightsources and collectors

[jhi69]

Hi there,

I am very new to MCMatlab so sorry if this is a stupid question. I am following the Example4_BloodVessel, looking at the jugular vein and carotid artery in the neck. I have a sensor with 4 LED emitters and 4 photodiode detectors. Is there any way to add 4 light sources and 4 detectors? Every way I have tried gives me this error:
Error setting property 'lightSource' of class 'MCmatlab.monteCarloSimulation'. Error: Value must be scalar or empty.

Any help is hugely appreciated on how I can add it in or just that its not possible.

Thanks heaps!

This is a part of MCmatlab that's not completely ideal, sorry. Each simulation can only have 1 light source and one detector. However, you can combine simulations that have the same detector using the method shown in example 22.

So you'd have to run 16 simulations, but you can then combine them to 4 combined model objects, one for each detector.
