V5.2 product documentation

New features and changes introduced in this version are

Response Plots

New features for response plots include

Importing in the LTI Viewer

The following are new features and enhancement in the LTI Viewer.

Models with Unequal Number of I/Os Can Be Imported

The LTI Viewer no longer restricts importing models with unequal numbers of inputs and/or an unequal numbers of outputs. You can import any combination of LTI models into the viewer.

Import and Export Dialog Boxes Easier to Use

The import and export dialog boxes are now easier to use.

System Identification Toolbox Models Can Be Imported

The LTI Viewer now imports System Identification Toolbox™ SISO models. The noise model is automatically discarded and the idmodelis converted to ZPK format.

Zoom Property in the LTI Viewer Right-Click Menu Is Removed

The zoom property in the LTI Viewer right-click menu has been removed. You can access this functionality from the new toolbar.

SISO Design Tool

The following are new features in the SISO Design tool.

Additional Feedback Structures

The SISO Design tool supports two new feedback structures:

All the usual functionality (e.g., graphical tuning of F and G) is available in the new feedback structures.

Analysis Menu

The SISO Design tool contains a new Analysis menu that raises Loop Responses under Tools to the top level. New plots available from this menu are

Linked LTI Viewers Are Dynamically Updated

LTI Viewers that are linked to the SISO Design tool update response plots in real-time during mouse-driven compensator tuning. This is the default behavior. To deactivate this feature, clear the Real-Time Update check box in the linked LTI Viewer. In this case, plots update only when you release the mouse button.

System Identification Toolbox Models Can Be Imported

The SISO Design tool now imports System Identification Toolbox SISO models. The noise model is automatically discarded and the idmodel is converted to ZPK format.

Reworked Store and Retrieve Windows

A new window, the Design Archive, combines both store and retrieve functions within a single, more-intuitive GUI.

Nichols Plots

You can now trace the frequency by placing your mouse cursor over the Nichols contour.

c2d Function Is Enhanced

The c2d function has a new impulse-invariant discretization method that guarantees matching continuous and discrete responses for pulse inputs.

Fixed Bugs

The following bugs were fixed in this release:

allmargin

The allmargin function converts ZPK models to TF format only when there is an algebraic loop in your system. This change ensures that the SISO Design tool can correctly diagnose closed-loop stability (open loop is always in ZPK format).

dlinmod

The dlinmod function now correctly linearizes all multirate discrete or hybrid (continuous and discrete) Simulink models when using Jacobian-based linearization.

place

Formerly, bad edge cases in the orthogonalization loop caused a divide by zero in the place function. This is no longer the case.
