Control Theory

The Octave Control Systems Toolbox (OCST) was initially developed by Dr. A. Scottedward Hodel a.s.hodel@eng.auburn.edu with the assistance of his students

This development was supported in part by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center as part of an in-house CACSD environment. Additional important contributions were made by Dr. Kai Mueller mueller@ifr.ing.tu-bs.de and Jose Daniel Munoz Frias (place.m).

An on-line menu-driven tutorial is available via DEMOcontrol; beginning OCST users should start with this program.

            [ 1] System representation
            [ 2] Block diagram manipulations
            [ 3] Frequency response functions
            [ 4] State space analysis functions
            [ 5] Root locus functions
            [ 6] LQG/H2/Hinfinity functions
            [ 7] End
Command examples are interactively run for users to observe the use of OCST functions.
