IMAT+Modal: Modal Test Kit User Guide

Introduction

The IMAT+Modal: Modal Test Kit (MTK) is a MATLAB IMAT toolbox that contains routines that are useful when performing modal survey tests. These routines include methods for sensor and exciter placement, extracting modes from test data, verifying shape extractions through FRF synthesis comparisons, providing shape independence and completeness checks, and other useful routines.

This user guide explains how to use these MTK functions. The IMAT user guide describes the MATLAB data structures and operations which allow you to manipulate functions and other entities.
