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.
