Matlab 9.1 (R2016b)

MATLAB R2016b (version 9.1) is installed in SERC. MATLAB, the language of technical computing, is a programming environment for algorithm development, data analysis, visualization, and numeric computation. Simulink® is a graphical environment for simulation and Model-Based Design of multidomain dynamic and embedded systems.MATLAB PCT parallel profile works only on the local system.

NOTE: Make sure that you include only the directory in MATLAB path for that profile which is set as default. Other profile directories should not be on the path.


In which systems is MATLAB available ?

MATLAB R2016b (Version 9.1) is currently available on all the access stations in SERC Bay Area (1st Floor). You can use MATLAB from a ascii terminal, but an X-window system will support more graphic displays.

Where do I get help ?

MATLAB is an interactive programme with on-line help. To get an overview of MATLAB type intro from the MATLAB prompt. The help command tells you the topics (directories) available in MATLAB. The command help directory_name or help function_name gives more detailed help about the directory or the function. You can also look for a particular topic by typing lookfor topic.
