Introduction: This lab was designed to introduce the Matlab script environment, how to
write a simple Matlab routine, a simple Matlab function, and how to manage the function
file in a Matlab environment.
Exercise 1 Objective: Create a function to find the average value of an input vector.
Implementation:
%Filename: average.m
%Author: David Gitz
%Date Created: 10-September-07
%Purpose: Takes a vector input and returns the average value of the
%vector.
function output = average(input)
output = sum(input)/length(input);
Application:
>> x = 0:.1:10;
>> average(x)
ans =
5
Exercise 2 Objective: Create a function to calculate the maximum value of an input
vector.
Implementation:
%Filename: max.m
%Author: David Gitz
%Date Created: 10-September-07
%Purpose: Takes a vector input and returns the maximum value of the
%vector.
function ouptut = peak(input)
tmp = 0;
for i = 1:length(input)
if input(i)>tmp
tmp = input(i)
end
end
Application:
>> x = 0:.1:10;
>> max(x)
ans =
10
Exercise 3 Objective: Create a function to process 3 input signals.
Implementation:
%Filename: process.m
%Author: David Gitz
%Date Created: 10-September-07
%Purpose: Takes 4 input vectors and processes them according to the
matrix:
%[1 0 1; 0 1 2] and returns 2 outputs corresponding to this.
function [output1,output2] = process(x1, x2, x3, t)
output1 = x1 +x3;
output2 = x2 +(2*x3);
plot(t,output1,t,output2);
Application:

t = 0:.01:10;
x1 = sin(2*pi*t);
x2 = sin(2*pi*2*t);
x3 = sin(2*pi*4*t);
process(x1,x2,x3, t);
Conclusion: This lab illustrates the scripting environment in Matlab, and using functions
to provide multiple inputs and outputs.
