Models with Time Delays

Systems with input, output, transport, and internal delays

Use the InputDelay, OutputDelay, and ioDelay properties of dynamic system models to represent time delays. See Time Delays in Linear Systems.

Functions

Time-Delay Basics

  • Specifying Time Delays
    This example shows how the Control System Toolbox™ lets you represent, manipulate, and analyze any LTI model with a finite number of delays.
