Getting Started

Installation

Instructions for installing the Control System Toolbox can be found in the MATLAB Installation documentation for your platform. We recommend that you store the files from this toolbox in a subdirectory named control under the main matlab directory. To determine if the Control System Toolbox is already installed on your system, check for a subdirectory named control within the main toolbox directory or folder.

Demos

The Control System Toolbox provides demonstration files that show you how to use the toolbox to perform control design tasks in various settings. To run these demos, type

• demo
  

at the MATLAB prompt. This opens the Demos pane in the Help browser. Select Toolboxes and then Control System to see a list of available demos. Alternatively, if you have the Help browser open, you can select the Demos pane directly and follow the same procedure.

In addition, Design Case Studies in the online documentation contains detailed examples of various design problems.
