Characteristics

The Characteristics menu changes for each plot response type. The next sections describe the menu for each of the eight plot types.

Step Response

Step plots the model's response to a step input.

You can display the following types of information in the step response:

Impulse Response

Impulse Response plots the model's response to an impulse.

The LTI Viewer can display the following types of information in the impulse response:

Bode Diagram

Bode plots the open-loop Bode phase and magnitude diagrams for the model.

The LTI Viewer can display the following types of information in the Bode diagram:

Bode Magnitude

Bode Magnitude plots the Bode magnitude diagram for the model.

The LTI Viewer can display the Peak Response, which is the maximum value of the Bode magnitude in decibels (dB), over the specified range of the diagram.

Nyquist Diagrams

Nyquist plots the Nyquist diagram for the model.

The LTI Viewer can display the following types of information in the Nyquist diagram:

Nichols Charts

Nichols plots the Nichols Chart for the model.

The LTI Viewer can display the following types of information in the Nichols chart:

Sigma

Sigma plots the singular values for the model.

The LTI Viewer can display the Peak Response, which is the largest magnitude of the Sigma plot over the plotted region.

Pole/Zero

Pole/Zero plots the poles and zeros of the model with `x' for poles and `o' for zeros. There are no Characteristics available for pole-zero plots.
