HELP BASIC 7.0 command

MATLAB is a formidable mathematics analysis package. We provide an introduction to the most basic commands that are needed for our use. We make no attempts to be comprehensive. We do not want a big, intimidating manual. The beauty of MATLAB is that we only need to know a tiny bit to get going and be productive. Once we get started, we can pick up new skills quickly with MATLAB s excellent on-line help features. We can only learn with hands-on work these notes are written as a "walk-through" tutorial—you are expected to enter the commands into MATLAB as you read along. 

For each session, we put the most important functions in a table for easy reference or review. The first one is on the basic commands and plotting. Try the commands as you read. You do not have to enter any text after the "%" sign. Any text behind a "%" is considered a comment and is ignored. We will save some paper and omit the results generated by MATLAB. If you need to see that for help, they are provided on our Web Support. There is also where we post any new MATLAB changes and upgrades. Features in our tutorial sessions are based on MATLAB Version 6.1, and Control System Toolbox 5.1. 

The help features and the Command Window interface tend to evolve quickly. For that reason, we use our Web Support to provide additional hints and tidbits so we can keep you update of the latest MATLAB changes. For now, we will introduce a few more basic commands ... 

The information written out by the Floorplanner is read into DC. Then, one must perform static timing analysis and if necessary to re-optimize the design. Listed below are the basic commands that help transfer of information to and from DC. 

Duke University, located at Durham, Notch Carolina was the headquarters for the Army Research Office which prepd the Engineering Design Handbook Series of the Armv Materiel Command. This coordinated series of handbooks contains basic information fundamental data useful in the design development of Army materiel systems. They are authoritative reference books of practical information quantitative facts helpful in meeting the tactical technical needs of the Armed forces. Information and/or copies of the handbooks may be obtd from Headquarters, US Army Materiel Command, Washington, DC 20315... 

There are many versions of Matlab and of Windows and for the more elaborate interfaces between die two packages it is necessary to refer to technical manuals. We will illustrate diis section with Matlab version 5.3, although many readers may have access to more up-to-date editions. All are forward compatible. There is a good on-line help facility in Matlab type help followed by die command, or follow the appropriate menu item. However, it is useful first to have a grasp of the basics which will be described below. 

The help switch. It gives basic information on the syntax of the MEM command and its usage. It shows all the switches listed in this table and their usage. 

In looking back over the past four decades, one cannot help but be impressed by the remarkable growth of the chemical industry. From the very start, with the introduction of synthetic dyes and blasting powder, this industry has accomplished its growth by assiduously following three basic rules or commandments ... 

HyperCard provides basic built-in navigation facilities menu choices and command keypress combinations which allow travel to adjacent cards in the current sorted order, and to first and last cards and backward stepping through the sequence of recently visited cards. Hypermedia authors may choose to disable the direct use of some of these, in order to constrain semantically irrelevant jumps. Where these are not disabled, a record of the occurrences and context of people resorting to the use of these facilities can be captured, and may help in identifying shortcomings in the intended navigation facilities provided by the hypermedia author. 

Needless to say that within MATLAB we have all the algebraic, statistical functions predefined along with plotting capabilities. Before briefly commenting on the basics, it is interesting to point out the use of help within the command window. We use the help function followed by any built-in function and MATLAB returns a small tutorial on the use of that function, the arguments, and the options (i.e., try help ode45 ). 

The definitions of the basic TC commands provided in this section, should help the reader understand the TC flow with regard to actual dc shell commands.
