Lesson 6 - Designing Filters
Creating Coefficients with FDATool
The MathWorks FDATool is a graphical filter design program that can be used to generate coefficients for the FIR
Compiler block. The Xilinx FDATool block provides an interface to the FDATool software available as part of the
MATLAB Signal Processing Toolbox. In order for this block to function properly, the Signal Processing Toolbox
must be installed.
