DSP-First (and SP-First) MATLAB Files (Updated for MATLAB Ver 8.4, R2014b)
Latest release (24-Jun-2015):
spfirst_v165.zip
Should work on all versions of MATLAB back to 7.2 (2006):
Installation Procedure to add these files to MATLAB and update MATLAB’s path:
- Download the ZIP file that contains everything. It is
called spfirst_vNNN.zip..- Unzip spfirst_vNNN.zip somewhere. A good choice would be the directory:
...MATLABtoolboxspfirst. The unzip will create a
bunch of subdirectories.
NOTE: use forward slash for directories on Mac or Linux.- Then add this one directory ...MATLABtoolboxspfirst to
the MATLAB path. This can be done in MATLAB from the menu File->Set Path.- Next, type the command spfirst at the MATLAB comand
prompt. It will add the other appropriate subdirectories to the path.- Finally, under File->Set Path, do a save of the new path.
Once the MATLABPATH is correct, you should be able to
type zdrill or sindrill at the MATLAB command prompt
and have a GUI start up. Also, commands like zprint
will now work.UNinstall: Delete all the files and directories in ...MATLABtoolboxspfirst, and also manually remove the directories from MATLAB’s path via File->Set Path.
FOOTNOTE: The M-files should be platform-independent, i.e., insensitive to end-of-line terminators for Unix/Mac versus Windows.
