Linear System Analyzer Overview

TheLinear System Analyzerapp simplifies the analysis of linear, time-invariant systems. UseLinear System Analyzerto view and compare the response plots of SISO and MIMO systems, or of several linear models at the same time. You can generate time and frequency response plots to inspect key response parameters, such as rise time, maximum overshoot, and stability margins.

You can launch theLinear System Analyzerin two ways:

The easiest way to work with theLinear System Analyzeris to use the right-click menus. For example, type

load ltiexamples linearSystemAnalyzer(sys_dc)

at the MATLAB prompt. The default plot is a step response.

TheLinear System Analyzercan display up to six different plot types simultaneously, including step, impulse, Bode (magnitude and phase or magnitude only), Nyquist, Nichols, singular value, pole/zero, and I/O pole/zero.
