General information about the computer labs

The purpose of the computer labs is for you to play around with the methods and theory discussed in the lectures. Playing around in Matlab can be very useful to get a better understanding of the course content!

The computer labs are not mandatory, but you will be much better prepared for quizzes, projects and even the final exam if you do them!

Matlab and toolboxes

We will use Matlab during the computer labs, and you will need to have The System Identification Toolbox installed. It may also be useful to have The Control System Toolbox installed.

To test if The System Identification Toolbox is installed, you can try the command 

systemIdentification

in Matlab. This should open a GUI, that you may also use when you work with the project (and in Computer lab 3).
