MATLAB Control Systems Analysis and Design Commands
Some ofthe most useful MATLAB commands fer Control Systems Analysis and Design are
{given below. They are part of the Control Systems Toolbox. To find out more information
bout a particular command, just type “help cammandname” atthe MATLAB prompt in the
MATLAB command window.
To ceate a transfer function in MATLAB use the “tf command having defined the
