- Introduction:
-
- The Rlab Controls Toolbox ((CTB) is a collection of rfiles
- that assist with the design, analysis, and understanding of
- control systems. This collection can be used with any release
- of Rlab after 1.1
-
- This collection of files is authored by Jeff Layton, Professor
- in the Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering Department at
- Clarkson University, Potsdam NY. This work is being released
- "in-progress" with the understanding that the programs have
- not been fully tested, and with no guarantees.
-
- Documentation:
-
- At present the only documentation are the comments/examples in
- each file. A LaTeX document is in the works, but there is no
- scheduled release date. You can contribute by submitting
- examples. A problem statement and sparsely commented code that
- solves the problem is helpful. A more detailed discussion of
- the solution method is even better.
-
- Bugs/Feedback:
-
- Should you find a bug in any of the CTB functions please
- report it immediately. If you know how the bug can be fixed,
- or have suggestions, please include them also. Report bugs to:
-
- ians@eskimo.com
- or
- rlab-list@eskimo.com
-
- When Jeff's schedule returns to normal he will most likely
- resume development and maintenance of the CTB.
-
- Installation:
-
- Installation is easy. Simply put this directory in your Rlab
- search path, in bourne-shell:
-
- RLAB_SEARCH_PATH="$RLAB_SEARCH_PATH:/CTB-directory"
- export RLAB_SEARCH_PATH
-
- For Rlab-2
-
- RLAB2_PATH="$RLAB2_PATH:/CTB-directory"
- export RLAB2_PATH
-
- Note that `CTB-directory' should be a fully specified
- path-name.
-
-
- Note (M.Ferrari):
- The 'aremsf' function is absent and 'aremfstest' and 'test_new'
- will complain at it. 'aremsf' is missing from the original
- distribution. Ian is currently contacting Prof. Layton to sort
- this out.
