# 1. At a glance

### What is TSTOOL ?

TSTOOL is a software package for signal processing with emphasis on nonlinear time-series analysis.

### Objectives

- Implement existing algorithms for nonlinear time-series analysis
- Develop new methods for specific data analysis problems
- Create an expandable platform for signal processing

### Implementation

The package is written partly in Matlab and partly in C.

Advantages of Matlab are :

- Reduced code development time
- Extensive collection of intrinsic mathmatical functions
- Excellent graphic capabilities
- High portability from Unix to Windows NT and other platforms

C is used for computationally demanding algorithms.

### Graphical user interface

A graphical user interface (GUI) gives access to the underlying signal processing commands. Parameters for the commands are set via dialog windows.
