VisSim Matrix Language
A high-level language for the rapid manipulation and creation of matrices

• abs(m): Absolute value of each elements of m
• cos(m): Cosine of each element of m
• diag(v): 2D matrix with vector v on diagonal
• eye(m): n x n matrix with 1's on the diagonal
• inv(m): Matrix inverse
• length(m): matrix with the number of elements of m
• log10(m): Log base 10 of each element
• log2(m): Log base 10 of each element
• log(m): Natural log of each element
• max(m): Returns a vector of which each element is the maximum value of each column of m
• min(m): Returns a vector of which each element is the minimum value of each column of m
• ones(n): N x n matrix of all 1's
• pi: Scalar pi
• rand(n): n x n matrix with each element a random number
• reshape(m,r,c): Reshape matrix m to r rows and c columns
• sin(m): Sine of each element of m
• size(m,k): Number of elements in the kth dimension
• sqrt(m): Square root of each element of m
• zeros: n x n matrix of all 0's

New Matrix Operations
More maths functionality than ever

• eigenvalues: Computes the eigenvalues and right eigenvectors for an n x n real nonsymmetric matrix
• linearSolve: Computes the solution to a real system of linear equations, including underdetermined and overdetermined systems
• matrixConst: Creates a matrix in a scrollable table
• matrixOut: View a matrix in a scrollable table
• meanSmooth: Smooths a signal according to a trailing mean
• medianSmooth: Smooths a signal according to a trailing mean
• polyFit: Calcuates a polynomial fit to two vectors of data and returns the resulting curve with a user-defined independent variable
• polyRoots: Calculates the roots of a polynomial with real coefficients
• splineFit: Calcuates a spline fit to two vectors of data and returns the resulting curve with a user-defined independent variable

Usability Enhancements

• Get working faster
• Force VisSim to start up with the last saved diagram
• Display non-printing blue margins on block diagrams to show the printable area
• Select all blocks at the current hierarchical level
• Print only the current view
• Autosave simulations are user-defined intervals
• Automatically add simulations to VisSim menu from a directory path
• The $runCount macro allows auto file naming on each run of multi-run simulations
