A User Contributed Routine is not a product of The MathWorks, Inc. and The MathWorks assumes no responsibility for any errors that may exist in these routines. Description of Files: The MATLAB tutorial is geared toward the commands used in this textbook; two different word processing versions are available as Tutorial.doc (Word for Windows vers. 6.0) and Tutorial.wp (Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS). The rest of the files included at this site are M-files that are used in the text for examples and for creating figures. The M-files were written using the professional version of MATLAB (ver. 4.0) with the Control Systems Toolbox (ver. 3.0) and the Signal Processing Toolbox (ver. 2.0) and are compatible with the Student Edition of MATLAB (ver. 4.0). Some of the M-files are generic so that the filenames indicate their function. These files are dft.m Discrete Fourier Transform idft.m Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform contfft.m Use of FFT to compute Continuous-Time Fourier Transform hybrid.m Simulation of continuous-time system and digital controller recur.m Computes solution of difference equations xlabelg.m Prints greek characters on the x-axis label The rest of the M-files correspond to specific examples or figures in the text. For example, ex2_3.m is an M-file of commands that are used in Example 2.3 of the textbook, and fig1_13.m is an M-file that was used to generate Figure 1.13.
