EE313 Linear Systems and Signal - Matlab Help
Some of the problems will require to use a computer tool, such as
Matlab, to solve it.
For UT Austin students, the most convenient option for accessing Matlab is to
- Download and install/update the full version of MATLAB R2017a or later
on your laptop using the UT site license (i.e. no cost to you):
- Follow the directions for
student licensing.
- Request a MathWorks account as part of the download process and
follow the instructions on account creation directly from the email
- When installing/updating MATLAB, please install at least the following MATLAB toolboxes:
Audio, DSP System, Image Processing, and Signal Processing
Here are other options:
- Buy the Matlab student edition for your local computer ($99)
- Run Matlab on a remote computer using an
Xwindows interface
- Run the Mathscript environment in the LabVIEW Real-Time Module
- Run GNU Octave
- Convert Matlab code to run in Python using numpy and scipy extensions
The Mathscript functionality in LabVIEW implements core functions
in Matlab and a few signal processing functions.
These functions should be all that you'll need for the course.
Helpful Slides and Tutorials
Please see locally developed materials to help you use Matlab in EE 445S:
Here are excellent Matlab tutorials:
Another option for running Matlab remotely is to install
- PuTTY,
terminal emulator for remote login, and
- Xming,
X windows emulator.
When running PuTTY within X windows, it is helpful to enable forwarding
of X windows settings.
Linux workstations
available for remote login
Once logged into a remote workstation, here are the commands to run Matlab:
module load matlab
