July 2009: A special version of Kalmtool 4 (called
Kalmtool 4a.1) capable of handling missing observations in the
measurements is ready for download.
See references for more information. kalmtool4a.1.zip
Mar 2006: Kalmtool 4 is ready in a beta
version. After the presentation at SYSID
2006
it will be available at this location. New features include
an
dual interface making it possible to use either scripting in MATLAB and
graphics in Simulink as the main interface.
Aug 2005: Kalmtool 2
renamed to Kalmtool 3 to avoid any mix up with Kalmtool
version 2.
Jul 2005: Kalmtool 2
ready
for download
Download
and Installation
The
toolbox has been
compressed and packed into a "tar.gz" file. kalmtool4.tar.gz
Save the file as "kalmtool4.tar.gz" when your browser prompts you and
issue the following commands to
"unzip" the file:
(Use
"tar zxvf
kalmtool4.tar.gz" to unpack.)
Important: Be sure that the working directory is the
root directory of Kalmtool and be sure to execute 'startup.m' as the
first command.
For demos look in runs (dir runs)
Please
send an e-mail to or@elektro.dtu.dkto
register, I will send information about new releases.

Support
Please
bear with us. This
is not a commercial product and thus we cannot spare the time for
supporting it. BUT, if you should find a major bug do let us know and
hopefully we can correct it in a future release.
We
encourage all users of
the Kalmtool to write us about their successes (and
failures?). We
are very
interested in hearing where the toolbox is used and for what type of
applications. Since your comments very well may influence future
releases of the toolbox this is also in your own interest!
The
development of Kalmtool 4 was
based on the Kalmtool toolbox and Kalmtool v. 2 toolbox by Magnus
Nørgård.
