Filter Design and Analysis Tool

Note    The Filter Design and Analysis Tool (FDATool) requires resolution greater than 640 x 480.

The Filter Design and Analysis Tool (FDATool) is a powerful user interface for designing and analyzing filters. FDATool enables you to quickly design digital FIR or IIR filters by setting filter performance specifications, by importing filters from your MATLAB workspace, or by directly specifying filter coefficients. FDATool also provides tools for analyzing filters, such as magnitude and phase response plots and pole-zero plots. FVTool, which can be launched from FDATool, provides a separate window for analyzing filters. You can use FDATool as a convenient alternative to the command line filter design functions. This chapter contains the following sections, which walk you through a typical filter design session using the FDATool:

• Overview
• Opening the Filter Design and Analysis Tool
• Choosing a Filter Type
• Choosing a Filter Design Method
• Setting the Filter Design Specifications
• Computing the Filter Coefficients
• Analyzing the Filter
• Converting the Filter Structure
• Importing a Filter Design
• Exporting a Filter Design
• Saving and Opening Filter Design Sessions

Below is a brief introduction to the FDATool that will give you a better understanding of how it can be used.

Note    If you have installed external hardware or targets that interact with FDATool, you may see additional options in FDATool. Refer to the specific hardware or target manual for information on these options. These toolboxes/targets are integrated with FDATool: Filter Design Toolbox                  Embedded Target for Texas Instruments C6000 DSP
