## 30 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

- R. Bruce Tenison btenison@dibbs.net,
- David C. Clem,
- John E. Ingram John.Ingram@sea.siemans.com, and
- Kristi McGowan.

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.

> Octave Control Systems Toolbox demo/tutorial program. The demo allows the user to select among several categories of OCST function:

>               octave:1> DEMOcontrol
>               Octave Controls System Toolbox Demo

>                 [ 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.
