Script m file

In our script m file poly9.m below, we evaluate both p and p from their extended polynomial form, rather than use the more stable and slightly more accurate Horner scheme, which would have us rewrite p as... 

A script m file in MATLAB does not start with a function. . . declaration as the function m file fzerotryl. m does. A script m file rather consists only of MATLAB commands. See Section 1.2.5 for more details on these two types of m files in MATLAB. 

MATLAB m files can contain any number of MATLAB commands. They are handy for long sets of MATLAB instructions or data and afford easy repeated use and easy modification. There are two kinds of MATLAB m files function and script m files. Script m files such as poly9. m on p. 28 use the data that is defined inside of them and any undefined data is taken from the data (with the proper name) that is currently active on the workspace look at the top left window commonly displayed on the MATLAB desktop for a list of defined variables and their type. Script files overwrite the workspace data as instructed in their code. 

The reader should study our earlier MATLAB m files now, such as the script m file poly9. m on p. 28 and the function m file fzerotryl. m on p. 27 and look for their differences. 

To execute the script M-file, simply type the name of the script file, qroots, at the MATLAB prompt ... 

Write a script M-file that takes the radius r and returns the area of a circle (nr ). Make sure that your code works for variables that are scalars, vectors, and matrices. Use the proper input statement to enter the radius and output statement to print out the area of a circle. 

Second, create callmultiode.m (a script M-file) that contains the initial value for eachy the lower and upper limit for integration the options attributes, which is a structure of optional parameters that change the default integration properties a call to the MATLAB ode45 solver and a plot command fory as a function of t. Figure 7.7 embodies such a list of commands. 

Figure 7.7 callmultiode.m (script M-file) that defines integration-related parameters and calls the MATLAB ode45 solver using a function handle (i.e., multiode) to multiode function. 

Execute repeated commands in a script, the so-called M-file... 

For our needs, a simple script suffices in most circumstances. To use an M-file 4... 

Step 3 Next create an m-file that provides the script to run the problem. These commands can also be typed in the command window, but when you have several commands that you will use over and over, it is more convenient to create a script that can run all the commands with one message from you. 

Execution of the scripts shown in Fig. 11.5 and in Fig. 11.6 in the form of. m files leads to a solution that will produce the same graphical results as using the SIMULINK approach. The main difference here obviously is the amount of programming in logical order which needs to take place in order to obtain the simulation in MATLAB. Using this procedure one can plot the same results as in Fig. 11.4. 

Apart from performing operations, MATLAB is a programming language. Its operation is based on the use of. m files that can be divided in two classes, scripts and functions. A script is basically a number of operations that we want to perform in a certain sequence. It is required that they are in order so that the variables and parameters are already defined. We can use them as executables and within them, we can also call other subrogate scripts that contain other operations... 

MATLAB search path is an ordered list of directories that MATLAB searches to find script and function M-files stored on disk. The MATLAB s path is defined from the File menu via clicking on the Set Path sub-menu, as shown in Figs. 3.1 and 3.2a. 

To create an M-file (script type) using the built-in MATLAB m-editor/debugger, go to File menu as shown in Fig. 3.3. click on New (sub-menu), and choose the Script sub-submenu. Alternatively, while activating the MATLAB main window, you may click CTRL+N to open up the m-editor. 

The following suggestions are either necessary or highly recommended for the effective use of MATLAB script and function M-files ... 

The roots (zeros) of this function appear to be in the neighborhood of x = 0.65 and = 1.25. The maximum occurs at approximately x = 1.0, where approximately = 4.5, and the minimum occurs at approximately x = 1.75, where approximately y , = -4.7. Next, we define and save f(x) as funczero.m (function M-file) with the following script ... 

The following are suggestions to help with the debugging of MATLAB scripts or M-files ... 

A MATLAB code, or m-file, is a collection of commands that are executed sequentially. Commands can be mathematical operations, function calls, flow control statements, and calls to the functions and scripts described in Section C.1.4. m-files are written using the MATLAB editor and have names such as my file. m. They are executed from the MATLAB command window by typing the name of the m-file (without the. m). Saving an m-file will avoid many hours of retyping the same commands. 

There are two types of m-files, functions and scripts. A MATLAB function has variables that can be passed into and out of the function. Any other variables used inside the function are not saved in memory when the function is finished. Scripts, on the other hand, save all their variables in the MATLAB workspace. Functions and scripts have names like myfunction.m. The first line of a function must contain a function declaration, using the following format ... 

Once the differential equation function is written and saved, a script (i.e., an m-file) containing the call to the integrator must be written. Here, parameter values, initial conditions, and options are specified, and the integration routine is called with the following command ... 

The programs written in the language of MATLAB should be saved with the extension of m , from where the name of m-file comes. If you use the editor of MATLAB, it automatically saves your files with the w extension. Otherwise, be sure to save them with the m extension. M-files can be in the form of scripts ondi functions and could be executed in the MATLAB workspace. 

Now you can develop a script by editing the file mydiary (no extension is added by MATLAB), deleting the unnecessary lines, and saving it as a m-file. 

The script file exampSSa.m shows how this is achieved... 

Case study Example 5.11 uses root locus to design a ship roll stabilization system. The script file exampSll.m considers a combined PD and PID (PIDD) controller of the form... 

The script file examp61h.m shows how it is possible to customize a Bode diagram... 

Note that to obtain a reasonable diagram, it is usually necessary for the user to define the scales of the x and y axes using the axis command. The script file examp64a.m produces the Bode gain diagrams for the same system when K = A and 8, see Figure 6.23(a). 

Script file fig627.m produces the Nichols chart for Example 6.4 when K = 4, as illustrated in Figure 6.27. The command ngrid produces the closed-loop magnitude and phase contours and axis provides user-defined axes. Some versions of MATLAB appear to have problems with the nichols command. 

Running script file fig629.m will produce the closed-loop frequency response gain diagrams shown in Figure 6.29 for Example 6.4 when K = 3.8 and 3.2 (value of K for best flatband response). 

Script file examp77.m plots the closed-loop step responses of both the continuous system and discrete system (see Figure 7.21). In the latter case the plant pulse transfer function uses zoh, and the compensator is converted into discrete form using... 

The continuous and discrete closed-loop systems are shown in Figures 7.22(a) and (b). The digital compensator is given in equation (7.128). Script file examp78.m produces the step response of both systems (Figure 7.25) and prints the open and closed-loop continuous and pulse transfer functions in the command window... 

The script file kalfild.m solves, in forward-time, the discrete solution of the Kalman filter equations, using equations (9.74), (9.75) and (9.76) in a recursive process. The MATLAB command Iqed gives the same result. 

Make a subdirectory and create a file with a definition of the model parameters called ExtractDim.m. Any Simulink models and Matlab scripts you make should be saved in this subdirectoiy. 

Do not give a script file the same name as a variable it computes, because MATLAB will not be able to execute that script file more than once unless the variable is cleared. Recall that typing a variable name at the command prompt causes MATLAB to display the value of that variable. If there is no variable by that name, then MATLAB searches for a script file having that name. For example, if the variable qroots is created in a script file having the name qroots.m, then after the script is executed the first time, the variable qroots will exist in the MATLAB workspace. If the script file is modified and an attempt is made to run it a second time, MATLAB will display the value of qroots and will not execute the script file.
