matlab stepresp,Plot step response and return plot handle

Description

h = stepplot(sys) plots the step response

of the sys. It also returns

the plot handle h. You can use this handle to customize

the plot with the getoptions and setoptions commands.

Type

help timeoptions

for a list of available plot options.

For multiinput models, independent step commands are applied

to each input channel. The time range and number of points are chosen

automatically.

stepplot(sys,Tfinal) simulates the step

response from t = 0 to the final time t

= Tfinal. Express Tfinal in the system

time units, specified in the TimeUnit property

of sys. For discrete-time systems with unspecified

sample time (Ts = -1), stepplot interprets Tfinal as

the number of sampling intervals to simulate.

stepplot(sys,t) uses the user-supplied

time vector t for simulation. Express t in

the system time units, specified in the TimeUnit property

of sys. For discrete-time models, t should

be of the form Ti:Ts:Tf, where Ts is

the sample time. For continuous-time models, t should

be of the form Ti:dt:Tf, where dt becomes

the sample time of a discrete approximation to the continuous system

(see step). The stepplot command

always applies the step input at t=0, regardless

of Ti.

To plot the step responses of multiple models sys1,sys2,...

on a single plot, use:

stepplot(sys1,sys2,...,sysN)

stepplot(sys1,sys2,...,sysN,Tfinal)

stepplot(sys1,sys2,...,sysN,t)

You can also specify a color, line style, and marker for each

system, as in

stepplot(sys1,'r',sys2,'y--',sys3,'gx')

stepplot(AX,...) plots into the axes with

handle AX.

stepplot(..., plotoptions) customizes the plot appearance using the

options set, plotoptions. Use timeoptions to create the options set.

stepplot(..., dataoptions) specifies options

such as the step amplitude and input offset using the options set, dataoptions.

Use stepDataOptions to

create the options set.
