Some very basic examples

PT1/low-pass filter step response

Code: Creating a transfer function and plotting its response

T1=0.4; # time constant P=tf([1], [T1 1]) # create transfer function model step(P,2) # plot step response #add some common markers like the tangent line at the origin, which crosses lim(n->inf) f(t) at t=T1 hold on plot ([0 T1], [0 1],"g") plot ([T1 T1], [0 1],"k") plot ([0 T1], [1-1/e 1-1/e],"m") hold off

Try also bode(P)! (a first order low-pass filter has -3db magnitude at f=1/T1)
