ident - Open System Identification Tool GUI

Syntax

ident ident(session,path)

Description

ident opens the System Identification Tool GUI.

ident(session,path) opens the saved session session in the System Identification Tool GUI. path specifies the location of this file. Omit path when the session file is on MATLABPATH.

You can also open the System Identification Tool interactively. In the MATLAB start menu, select Toolboxes > System Identification > System Identification Tool (ident).

Input Arguments

session

Session file to be opened using the System Identification Tool GUI.

You create a session file by saving a running session of the GUI. session contains the set of data objects, models and layout settings in use at the time of saving. If the GUI is already open, ident(session) merges the contents of the new session file with those already present in the GUI.

path

Location of session file.

You do not need to specify path if session is on the MATLAB path.

Examples

Open a saved session iddata1:

ident('iddata1.sid')

Open a saved session mydata in a specified folder:

ident('mydata.sid','\matlab\data\cdplayer\')
