SP-First MATLAB Files (Updated for MATLAB Ver 7.1, REL14sp3)



Please get the
most recent ZIP file
of the SP-First M-files (see footnote).
The present version number is v1.40, dated 18-Jan-2007

Installation Procedure to add these files to MATLAB and update MATLAB’s path:

  1. Download the ZIP file that contains everything. It is
    called spfirst_vNNN.zip..
  2. Unzip spfirst_vNNN.zip somewhere. A good choice would be the directory:
    ...MATLABtoolboxspfirst. The unzip will create a
    bunch of subdirectories.
  3. Then add the directory ...MATLABtoolboxspfirst to
    the MATLAB path. This can be done in MATLAB from the
    menu File->Set Path.
  4. Next, type the command spfirst at the MATLAB comand
    prompt. It will add all the other subdirectories to the path.
  5. 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. However, there is also a
Unix/Mac version,
which has the appropriate end-of-line terminators for Unix-only editors.
This ZIP file contains exactly the same M-files.
