Estimate state space model parameters using kalman filter

[sid85]

Hello,

Does Labview estimate state space model parameters using kalman filter ? If yes can someone give me some explanations ?

PS: I have never used this software.

Hello sid85,

LabVIEW does have the ability to utilize Kalman filters as portions of algorithms used in a state space model.  The Control Design and Simulation Module includes functions such as the Discrete Kalman Filter Function and the Continuous Kalman Filter Function that allow you to incorporate Kalman algorithms into your state-space representation.  They are part of the Estimation Function palette.

There are examples that are available, but would require you to install LabVIEW and download the Control Design and Simulation Module.  Both of these pieces of software can be downloaded in evaluation version for you to test out from the links provided.  Be sure and install LabVIEW itself before installing the module.

After doing so, launch LabVIEW, then browse to Help » Find Examples.  Then, in the NI Example Finder window, browse to Toolkits and Modules » Control and Simulation » Algorithms » Kalman Filter.  Here you will find two examples that demonstrate use of a Kalman filter.

Good luck!  Let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you very much, I will do that.
