— Function File: syschnames (sys, opt, list, names)

Superseded by syssetsignals.

— Function File: syschtsam (sys, tsam)

This function changes the sampling time (tsam) of the system. Exits with an error if sys is purely continuous time.

return the number of states, inputs, and/or outputs in the system sys.

Inputs

sys

opt

String indicating which dimensions are desired. Values:

"all"

(default) return all parameters as specified under Outputs below.

"cst"

return n= number of continuous states

"dst"

return n= number of discrete states

"in"

return n= number of inputs

"out"

return n= number of outputs

Outputs

n

number of continuous states (or individual requested dimension as specified by opt).

nz

number of discrete states

m

number of system inputs

p

number of system outputs

yd

binary vector; yd(ii) is nonzero if output ii is discrete. yd(ii) = 0 if output ii is continous

— Function File: [stname, inname, outname, yd] = sysgetsignals (sys)
— Function File: siglist = sysgetsignals (sys, sigid)
— Function File: signame = sysgetsignals (sys, sigid, signum, strflg)

Get signal names from a system

Inputs

sys

system data structure for the state space system

sigid

signal id. String. Must be one of

"in"

input signals

"out"

output signals

"st"

stage signals

"yd"

value of logical vector yd

signum

index(indices) or name(s) or signals; see sysidx

strflg

flag to return a string instead of a cell array; Values:

0

(default) return a cell array (even if signum specifies an individual signal)

1

return a string. Exits with an error if signum does not specify an individual signal.

Outputs

•If sigid is not specified:

stname

inname

outname

signal names (cell array of strings); names of states, inputs, and outputs, respectively.

yd

binary vector; yd(ii) is nonzero if output ii is discrete.

•If sigid is specified but signum is not specified:

sigid="in"

siglist is set to the cell array of input names.

sigid="out"

siglist is set to the cell array of output names.

sigid="st"

siglist is set to the cell array of state names.

stage signals

sigid="yd"

siglist is set to logical vector indicating discrete outputs; siglist(ii) = 0 indicates that output ii is continuous (unsampled), otherwise it is discrete.

•If the first three input arguments are specified:

signame is a cell array of the specified signal names (sigid is "in", "out", or "st"), or else the logical flag indicating whether output(s) signum is(are) discrete (sigval=1) or continuous (sigval=0).
