Kalman Adaptive Filter
5-251
An optional Adapt input port is added when the Adapt input check box is 
selected in the dialog box. When this port is enabled, the block continuously 
adapts the filter coefficients while the 
Adapt input is nonzero. A zero-valued 
input to the 
Adapt port causes the block to stop adapting, and to hold the filter 
coefficients at their current values until the next nonzero 
Adapt input.
The 
FIR filter length parameter specifies the length of the filter that the 
Kalman algorithm estimates. The 
Measurement noise variance and the 
Process noise variance parameters specify the correlation matrices of the 
measurement and process noise, respectively. The 
Measurement noise 
variance
 must be a scalar, while the Process noise variance can be a vector 
of values to be placed along the diagonal, or a scalar to be repeated for the 
diagonal elements.
The 
Initial value of filter taps specifies the initial value   as a vector, or 
as a scalar to be repeated for all vector elements. The 
Initial error correlation 
matrix
 specifies the initial value K(0), and can be a diagonal matrix, a vector 
of values to be placed along the diagonal, or a scalar to be repeated for the 
diagonal elements.
