This file describes the installation of ObservabilityTest for MapleV.5.

This package is no supported by earlier version.

I. Install the files.

Under Unix:

1. Download the file: ObservabilityTest.tar.gz

Uncompress it by: gunzip ObservabilityTest.tar.gz

(This creates a file `ObservabilityTest.tar'; if gunzip was not available on your machine, download the file `ObservabilityTest.tar' instead.)

2. Restore the files from the archive: tar xpf ObservabilityTest.tar

(Or something similar, depending on your system.)

This creates a directory `ObservabilityTest' and in it:

a directory `Examples`

three files: `maple.lib', `maple.ind', `maple.hdb'.

On a Macintosh or under Windows:

Directly download the three files `maple.lib', `maple.ind', `maple.hdb' from the present ftp site.

You can download some examples from directory Examples.

II. Make the observabilityTest procedure available to your Maple system.

To this end, the absolute path to the newly created `ObservabilityTest' directory has to be put in the Maple global variable `libname'. This is either done once forever in your `.mapleinit' file or has to be done at the beginning of each Maple session by the command

libname:="",libname:

where `' depends on your system type.

Under Unix:

The `ObservabilityTest' path is something like

`/foo/bar/.../ObservabilityTest', so that your command reads:

libname:="/foo/bar/.../ObservabilityTest",libname:

On a Macintosh:

Let us suppose that you store the file `maple.ind', `maple.hdb' and `maple.lib' in the directory `ObservabilityTest'.

The `ObservabilityTest' path is something like

`MyDisk:ObservabilityTest', so that your command reads:

libname:="MyDisk:ObservabilityTest",libname:

Under Windows:

The `ObservabilityTest' path is something like `C:\ObservabilityTest', so that your command reads:

libname:="C:\ObservabilityTest",libname:

III. Using the observabilityTest procedure.

Type `? observabilityTest' in a Maple session to get started.

IV. Examples

Some examples are available using a command like

read "/foo/bar/../ObservabilityTest/Examples/CGV1990.mpl";

(see the files in directory Examples).

This package comes with ! NO WARRANTY !
