Readme.txt in folder MSV ======================= This software is shareware and may freely be copied. If you want to use it and if you are not student at the University of Hamburg, please cantact me. Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated and should be sent to: v.d.heide@on-line.de or to Prof. Dr. Klaus von der Heide Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik Vogt-Kölln-Str. 30 22527 Hamburg Germany Requirements to use the course material are: (1) MATLAB V5 (Student Edition is sufficient) V 5.3 has a better stability than 5.0 and there are considerable improvements in the toolboxes. If you use V 5.0 - V 5.2 you must add the functions "fileparts" and "strncmpi". In this case rename fileparts.txt and strncmpi.txt into fileparts.m and strncmpi.m. (2) MATLAB signal toolbox This toolbox is supplied with the MATLAB Student Edition (3) MATLAB symbolic toolbox This toolbox is supplied with the MATLAB Student Edition This toolbox is rarely used. The lecture can well be studied without this toolbox. But a few figures will not be generated causing an error message. All chapters are MATLAB-script-files. But do not call them from the Command Window (although that will work). Instead call the browser mscriptview(CouseName) from the command window. The CourseName must be in string quotes. Then a new Window will show the contents of the lecture. Currently the courses 't1' , 'dsp' , and 'nt' are available. You can click (mouse left) below and above the text to page down or upward. A first click on a red colored MATLAB-block will select it, a second click will execute that block. Further calls of mscriptview are colored green. Like the MATLAB-blocks you can select and open them by one or two mouse clicks. A selected block can be copied into a new editor window by the keystroke c. There you can edit and cut and paste it into the the command window which in any case remains free for arbitrary use. Hitting the letter h on the keyboard should give a specific help text for the currently selected window. Nearly all MATLAB-functions only use optional parameters. So you can type the file name and look what it is doing as an example. But learning is much more promoted by trying your own parameters. If you find some interesting details not yet contained in this lecture, please let me know. Many of the functions use fixed figure positions optimized for screen resolutions 800 X 600 and 1024 X 768. Most of these MATLAB-files are programmed on Sunday and released on Monday. If anything goes wrong, please report. I hope to get some response, if someone outside uses it.
