Setting-up MATLAB


Setting up MATLAB to work properly with the LTPDA Toolbox requires a few steps:

Add the LTPDA Toolbox to the MATLAB path

After downloading and un-compressing the LTPDA Toolbox, you should add the directory ltpda_toolbox to your MATLAB path. To do this:

Edit the LTPDA startup script

The LTPDA Toolbox comes with a default ltpda_startup.m file. This may need to be edited for your particular system (though most of the defaults should be fine). To edit this file, do >> edit ltpda_startup at the MATLAB command prompt. The following table lists the various variables that are set there:

Variable Values Description

USE_LTPDA_PRINT_SETTINGS

'Yes' or 'no'

Choose the LTPDA Print settings, or stick with your own (MATLAB) defaults.

USE_LTPDA_PLOT_SETTINGS

'Yes' or 'no''

Choose the LTPDA Plot settings, or stick with your own (MATLAB) defaults.

REPO_GUI_SERVERLIST

{'localhost', '130.75.117.67', '130.75.117.61'}

A list of default LTPDA repositories that will be presented to the user by the LTPDA Repository GUI. Each hostname is one entry in a cell-array.

REPO_GUI_FONTSIZE

10

A default font-size used on the LTPDA Repository GUI.

PASSWD_WIN_FONTSIZE

10

A default font-size used on the password dialog box for connection to LTPDA Repositories.

TIMEZONE

'UTC'

A default time-zone used when dealing with LTPDA Time objects. A list of valid time-zones can be retried with the command: >> java.util.TimeZone.getAvailableIDs

TIME_FORMAT_STR

'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS.FFF'

A default time format string.

Automatically start LTPDA Toolbox on starting MATLAB

In order to automatically load the LTPDA Toolbox settings when MATLAB starts up, add the command ltpda_startup to your own startup.m file. See >> doc startup for more details on installing and editing your own startup.m file.
