| 2 <p>Setting up MATLAB to work properly with the LTPDA Toolbox requires a few steps:</p> | |

| 4 <ul> | |
| 5 <li> | |
| 6 <p><a href="setup.html#path">Add the LTPDA Toolbox to the MATLAB path</a></p> | |

| 10 </li> | |
| 11 <li> | |
| 12 <p><a href="setup.html#prefs">Edit the LTPDA Preferences</a></p> | |
| 13 </li> | |
| 14 </ul> | |
| 15 | |
| 16 <a name="path" id= "path"></a> | |
| 17 <h3 class="title">Add the LTPDA Toolbox to the MATLAB path</h3> | |
| 18 | |
| 19 <p> | |
| 20 After downloading and un-compressing the LTPDA Toolbox, you should add the | |
| 21 directory <tt>ltpda_toolbox</tt> to your MATLAB path. To do this: | |
| 22 <ul> | |
| 23 <li> File -> Set Path... </li> | |
| 24 <li> Choose "Add with Subfolders" and browse to the location of <tt>ltpda_toolbox</tt> </li> | |
| 25 <li> "Save" your new path. MATLAB may require you to save your new <tt>pathdef.m</tt> to a | |
| 26 new location in the case that you don't have write access to the default location. For more | |
| 27 details read the documentation on "pathdef" (<tt>>> doc pathdef</tt>). </li> | |
| 28 </ul> | |
| 29 </p> | |

| 31 <a name="ltpdastartup" id= "ltpdastartup"></a> | |
| 32 | |
| 33 <a name="startup" id= "startup"></a> | |
| 34 <h3 class="title">Starting LTPDA Toolbox</h3> | |
| 35 | |
| 36 <p> | |
| 37 To start using the LTPDA Toolbox, execute the following command on the MATLAB terminal: | |
| 38 <div class="fragment"> | |
| 39 <pre> | |
| 40 ltpda_startup </pre> | |
| 41 </div> | |
| 42 This should launch the LTPDA Launchbay, and you should see the LTPDA logo on the MATLAB terminal. | |
| 43 When you run this for the first time, you will also be presented with the LTPDA Preferences GUI from | |
| 44 where you can edit the preferences for the toolbox (see below). | |
| 45 </p> | |
| 46 <p> | |
| 47 If everything has gone well, you should be able to run a set of built-in tests by doing: | |
| 48 <div class="fragment"> | |
| 49 <pre> | |
| 50 run_tests | |
| 51 </pre> | |
| 52 </div> | |
| 53 This will run about 100 test scripts. These test scripts can be found in <tt>$ltpda_toolbox/examples</tt> | |
| 54 and serve as useful example scripts. | |
| 55 </p> | |
| 56 <p> | |
| 57 In order to automatically start the LTPDA Toolbox | |
| 58 when MATLAB starts up, add the command <tt>ltpda_startup</tt> to your own <tt>startup.m</tt> | |
| 59 file. See <tt>>> doc startup</tt> for more details on installing and editing your own <tt>startup.m</tt> file. | |
| 60 </p> | |

| 62 <a name="prefs" id= "prefs"></a> | |
| 63 <h3 class="title">Edit the LTPDA Preferences</h3> | |
| 64 | |
| 65 <p> | |
| 66 The LTPDA Toolbox comes with a default set of starting preferences. These may need | |
| 67 to be edited for your particular system (though most of the defaults should be fine). | |
| 68 To edit the preferences, you first need to have the LTPDA toolbox installed as described | |
| 69 above, then run the command | |
| 70 <div class="fragment"><pre> | |
| 71 LTPDAprefs | |
| 72 </pre></div> | |
| 73 or click on the "LTPDA Preferences" button on the launchbay. You should see the following GUI: | |
| 74 </p> | |
| 75 <p> | |
| 76 <img src="images/LTPDAprefs.png" alt="LTPDA Preferences GUI" border="0"> </p> | |
| 77 <p> | |
| 78 Edit all the preferences you want and then click apply to save the preferences. These new preferences | |
| 79 will be used each time you start LTPDA. | |
