Since Matlab has a pretty powerful programming capability, you can do anything you want with it. You can write your own simulator, waveform analysis tool, PCB auto router, stock market tools, bird migration pattern analysis tools, you name it... It only depends on how much time an effort you want to put into coding it all up. Just don't forget that it is an interpreted language, therefore you will not get as good of a performance as with other, non-interpreted languages, and there are some limitations in the language (such as there are no multi-threading capabilities in it yet). On the other hand, their matrix notation syntax allows you to write things very efficiently and intuitively, and I heard claims that vector and matrix processing can be faster than FOR loops in C. "It will be left to the student to prove this..." :-) Arpad ------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] = On Behalf Of Leo Hu Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2007 6:41 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] MATLAB for SI Dear All, MATLAB is a famous and popular software, and I want to know how we can = employ it in SI field. I mean what its function is when we regard it as = our one of SI analysis tool. Shedding light on this issue is highly appreciated. Thanks and Best Regards!
