61 <p>The LTPDA Toolbox is a MATLAB<sup>&#174;</sup> Toolbox designed
62 for the analysis of data from the LISA Technology Package (part
63 of the LISA Pathfinder Mission). However, the toolbox can be used for
64 any general purpose signal processing, and is particularly useful for
65 analysis of typical lab-based experiments.
66 </p>
67 <p>
68 The Toolbox implements accountable
69 and reproducible data analysis within MATLAB<sup>&#174;</sup>.</p>
70
71 <p>With the LTPDA Toolbox you operate with LTPDA Objects. An
72 LTPDA Object captures more than just the data from a particular
73 analysis: it also captures the full processing history that led
74 to this particular result, as well as full details of by whom and
75 where the analysis was performed.</p>
