Datafeed Toolbox

Appendix A

Directory Structure

MATLAB is distributed in compressed format on CD-ROM. The installation procedure moves the files to your hard disk, decompresses them, and installs them into your MATLAB root directory. After installation of the MATLAB Datafeed Toolbox, your MATLAB directory should include these additional files and subdirectories.

Note    In the directory structure shown below, the notation <matlab> represents your MATLAB root directory, the location where MATLAB is installed on your system.
