The time-domain approach is a unified method for analyzing and designing systems
modeled by either modern or classical approach. Time-domain response analysis functions
below can be used to study the output behavior of a linear time-invariant system driven
by system inputs and initial states.
The step or impulse response plots the system response with respect to time when the
system input is a step or impulse function, respectively.
The initial response plots the system response to the
initial state x0 with zero-input. The simulation response plots the system response to any
input and initial state specified by the user.
The initial state of zero is assumed by default.
