41 <p>Setting up MATLAB to work properly with the LTPDA Toolbox requires a few steps:</p>
42

44 <li>

46 </li>

54
55 <a name="path" id= "path"></a>
56 <h3 class="title">Add the LTPDA Toolbox to the MATLAB path</h3>
57
58 <p>
59 After downloading and un-compressing the LTPDA Toolbox, you should add the
60 directory <tt>ltpda_toolbox</tt> to your MATLAB path. To do this:
61 <ul>
62 <li> File -> Set Path... </li>
63 <li> Choose "Add with Subfolders" and browse to the location of <tt>ltpda_toolbox</tt> </li>
64 <li> "Save" your new path. MATLAB may require you to save your new <tt>pathdef.m</tt> to a
65 new location in the case that you don't have write access to the default location. For more
66 details read the documentation on "pathdef" (<tt>>> doc pathdef</tt>). </li>
67 </ul>

73 <h3 class="title">Starting LTPDA Toolbox</h3>
74
75 <p>
76 To start using the LTPDA Toolbox, execute the following command on the MATLAB terminal:
77 <div class="fragment">
78 <pre>
79 ltpda_startup </pre>
80 </div>
81 This should launch the LTPDA Launchbay, and you should see the LTPDA logo on the MATLAB terminal.
82 When you run this for the first time, you will also be presented with the LTPDA Preferences GUI from
83 where you can edit the preferences for the toolbox (see below).
84 </p>
85 <p>
86 If everything has gone well, you should be able to run a set of built-in tests by doing:
87 <div class="fragment">
88 <pre>
89 run_tests
90 </pre>
91 </div>
92 This will run about 100 test scripts. These test scripts can be found in <tt>$ltpda_toolbox/examples</tt>
93 and serve as useful example scripts.
94 </p>
95 <p>
96 In order to automatically start the LTPDA Toolbox
97 when MATLAB starts up, add the command <tt>ltpda_startup</tt> to your own <tt>startup.m</tt>
98 file. See <tt>>> doc startup</tt> for more details on installing and editing your own <tt>startup.m</tt> file.
99 </p>

102 <h3 class="title">Edit the LTPDA Preferences</h3>
103
104 <p>
105 The LTPDA Toolbox comes with a default set of starting preferences. These may need
106 to be edited for your particular system (though most of the defaults should be fine).
107 To edit the preferences, you first need to have the LTPDA toolbox installed as described
108 above, then run the command
109 <div class="fragment"><pre>
110 LTPDAprefs
111 </pre></div>
112 or click on the "LTPDA Preferences" button on the launchbay. You should see the following GUI:
113 </p>
114 <p>
115 <img src="images/LTPDAprefs.png" alt="LTPDA Preferences GUI" border="0"> </p>
116 <p>
117 Edit all the preferences you want and then click apply to save the preferences. These new preferences
118 will be used each time you start LTPDA.
