Details and Options

  • SystemModelMeasurements is typically used to quantify system performance and quality by measuring how it responds to a step input.
  • The measurements only make sense for stable systems, i.e. systems for which bounded inputs result in bounded outputs.
  • The system sys can have the following forms:
  • StateSpaceModel[]state-space model
    TransferFunctionModel[]transfer function model
    AffineStateSpaceModel[]affine state-space model
    NonlinearStateSpaceModel[]non-linear state-space model
    DiscreteInputOutputModel[]discrete input-output model
    SystemModel[]general system model
    <||>detailed system specification sspec given as an Association
  • The system specification sspec can have the following keys:
  • "Model"sysany one of the models with inputs
    "SimulationInterval"Automaticsimulation interval {tinit,tfinal}
    "Inputs"Allinputs to turn on {u1,}
    "Outputs"Automaticvariables to measure {y1,}
  • For a system with multiple inputs, measurements are performed with each input turned on one at a time.
  • Measurement properties typically depend on the initial value, yinit, and final value, yfinal, of the measured output y.
  • Time properties prop include:
  • "RiseTime"time for output to change from 10% to 90% of the final value
    "DelayTime"time for output to reach 50% of the final value
    "TransientTime"time for output transients to subside, i.e. TemplateBox[{{{y, (, t, )}, -, {y, _, {(, final, )}}}}, Abs]/max_t TemplateBox[{{{y, (, t, )}, -, {y, _, {(, final, )}}}}, Abs]<=0.02 for
    "SettlingTime"time for output to settle, i.e. for
    "MinValueTime"time tmin for output to reach the minimum ymin, i.e.
    "MaxValueTime"time tmax for output to reach the maximum ymax, i.e.
  • Value properties prop include:
  • "InitialValue"initial value yinit, i.e.
    "FinalValue"final value yfinal, i.e.
    "MaxOvershootPercent"maximum percent of signal excess beyond yfinal, i.e.
    "MaxUndershootPercent"maximum percent of signal excess beyond yinit, i.e.
    "MinValue"minimum value
    "MaxValue"maximum value
    "SettlingMinValue"
  • minimum value
  • ysmin once the output has risen, i.e. for
    "SettlingMaxValue"
  • minimum value
  • ysmax once the output has risen, i.e. for
  • Response properties prop include:
  • InterpolatingFunction[]"Response"response signal
    "Plot"response plot
  • The following options can be given:
  • Method Automaticmeasurement method
    ProgressReporting $ProgressReportingcontrol display of progress
    TargetUnits Noneunits in measurement properties
  • Method settings take the form Method{"sub1"val1,}.
  • Method suboptions "subi" include:
  • "RiseTimeLowerThreshold"0.1fraction of signal change at start of rise time
    "RiseTimeUpperThreshold"0.9fraction of signal change at end of rise time
    "DelayTimeThreshold"0.5
  • fraction of signal change at end of delay time
  • "SettlingTimeThreshold"0.02settling time threshold
  • The option TargetUnits controls the units of quantities in measurement properties:
  • Noneno unit (default)
    "Unit"unit defined in model
    "DisplayUnit"display unit defined in model
    unitexplicit unit
    {unitt,unit}units for time and data
