12 Feb 2012 Chirp Source Block For Simulink This block for Simulink provides a chirp source for stimulating unknown system dynamics. Author: Paul Metcalf

Samuel,
Precisely, that was the intended purpose of developing the block. You should play around with the block settings, then scale and offset the output to meet your input requirements. You should then pass the input into your unknown system and record the output. Then using the 'ident' tool in MATLAB System Identification Toolbox, you can try to identify the dynamics using the in-built models. Be sure to use a different input data set for validation of your result.

Hi all,
Due to the interest in this file, I will attempt to provide an improved description of usage and tuning suggestions shortly. Thanks,
Paul
25 Apr 2011 Function To Generate Truth Table Condition Vectors This function efficiently generates a matrix of binary condition vectors for use in a truth table. Author: Paul Metcalf

Hi Shaun,
Thanks for that. As mentioned in the submission, the there are numerous ways to achieve the result including one liners, on MATLAB CENTRAL. However I just checked the speed of my submission versus your suggestion and mine is around 4 times quicker, which is significant when working with large tables (for order 24, around 17 seconds quicker on my laptop).
I guess this is a reminder that not always the shorter the code implies the fastest execution?

Thanks James, I will attend to those comments. Also, in regard to the treatment of the loop index and link warning, this is the case because I accidentally uploaded a very old version of the function. This issue is not present in the current or previous version of the function. This issue will be corrected shortly. Thanks again, Paul.

Hi, Mr Paul.
From the description of the chirp simulink block, seems that it can be used for the system identification. Does it mean that I can use this signal as the input of the input & output data that needed for the system identification?
