33. Navigating the Matlab Desktop Commonly Used Toolboxes

34. Solving equations using variables Expression language Expressions typed by the user are interpreted and evaluated by the Matlab system Variables are names used to store values Variable names allow stored values to be retrieved for calculations or permanently saved When MATLAB encounters a new variable name, it automatically creates the variable and allocates the appropriate amount of storage. Variable = Expression **Variable Names are Case Sensitive! Ex. «a» and «A» are two different variables

35. Solving equations using variables Variable = Expression >> x = 6 x = 6 >> y = 2 y = 2 >> x + y ans = 8 >> x - y ans = 4 >> x * y ans = 12 >> x / y ans = 3 >> x ^ y ans = 36 Basic Calculation Operators: + Addition -Subtraction Multiplication / Division ^ Exponentiation Reserved variables ! They are special names used to indicate either a specific number (e.g. pi, inf, eps, …), a keyword (e.g. char, double, …), or the result of an expression (ans). By default they have a specific meaning or value, if you assign a new expression to these names, you cannot use the default reserved variable anymore during the current session of Matlab.

51. Saving your Work To save data to a *.mat file: Typing ‘save filename’ at the >> prompt and the file ‘filename.mat’ will be saved to the working directory Select Save from the file pull down menu Automatically, all the variables in the workspace will be stored in the same mat-file named filename.mat. To reload a *.mat file Type ‘load filename’ at the >> prompt to load ‘filename.mat’ (ensure the filename is located in the current working directory) Select Open from the file pull down menu and manually find the data file (!)

Some functions are generic and you can find them in the MATLAB TOOLBOX. RESULT: more or less, you can find any type of function you need. For a list of the elementary mathematical functions, type help elfun For a list of more advanced mathematical and matrix functions, type help specfun help elmat You can just create an elaboration by using the available functions, or you can create your own function (see after).

53. Basic plotting commands FunctionDescription plot Graph 2-D data plot3 Graph 3-D data plot plot3 Help – Search – type plot and obtain the following explanation! plot(Y) plots the columns of Y versus the index of each value when Y is a real number. plot(X1,Y1,...,Xn,Yn) plots each vector Yn versus vector Xn on the same axes. If one of Yn or Xn is a matrix and the other is a vector, plots the vector versus the matrix row or column with a matching dimension to the vector. For example, plot a sinusoidal curve: » t = 0:1/100:1; » y = sin(2*pi*t); » plot(t,y); More advanced! plot3(t,t,y); grid on xlabel x ylabel y zlabel z B=repmat(y,length(t),1); mesh(t,t,B); Frequency of the sinusoidal curve

55. Use the who and whos functions directly from the Command Window to confirm all of the variables and matrices in the work space are present and correct A = B = C = D = E = a 5 x 9 matrix of 1’s

56. Change the following elements in each matrix: Now save all the variables in the workspace in a mat-file named myvar. A = B = C = D = 76 0 0 0

57. Create a variable named S, which contains two cycles of a sinusoidal curve of frequency 2Hz and resolution pi/10. Plot S in a two dimensional graph. Try to use the documentation to change from the solid blue line, to a dashed red line To modify these parameters you need to add a third option to the plot command. Prompt plot(t,y, ‘options’). Instead of using the word options, use the symbols that indicate the type and the color of the line click on the LineSpec link on the plot page documentation to see which are the symbols for the dashed line and for the red.LineSpec

The variables stored in the mat-file hip_gait_data are relative to a patient A, and from hip_gait_data2 we have data from patient B. Once that both signals are normalized, plot them together in the same figure and with two different colors. Compute the Range of Motion for both signals (after normalization). Use the max and min functions to compute ROM.
