Aims of the New Version of the Toolbox
The first design of the toolbox made use of the possibilities offered by
MATLAB V3. This caused the following difficulties.
-
Input arguments needed to be coded in a complicated way, because there was
no simple procedure to combine parameters of different type (e.g. to
combine strings with numbers).
- Data structures were missing -- therefore both input data and output
models were stored in an internal ``structure'', and read/written using
special functions.
-
There was no easy-to-use means in excess to the command help to assist
the user in his/her activity.
The main purpose of the new development was to make the user's life as easy
as possible. The primary tool for this is the GUI.
