This chapter has emphasized analytical methods for obtaining continuous- and discrete-time system response to elementary types of inputs. In this section, we explore the use of MATLAB functions in the control system toolbox designed to facilitate the process of modeling and simulation of LTI dynamic systems. The control system toolbox is a supplement to MATLAB. The reader is encouraged to check out the entire suite of available functions either online or in the control system toolbox lab manual (from The Mathworks, Inc.). Many of the functions are discussed and illustrated in recent linear controls texts and companion lab manuals (D’Azzo and Houpis, 1995; Ogata 1998; Dorf and Bishop 2005).
