How to get the damping ratio of an underdamped response

I have got a step response which seems underdamped and I have also used the 'damp' function to retrieve the values of damping ratio. But I need to find by how much it is underdamped. Please help me in finding the level of damping.

Can you clarify your question? If you have the transfer function, damp will give you the damping factor, as you mention.

Thanks for your reply. I'm using a state space model and my question is how do I know by how much the system is damped.
It does not matter. As long as you have a an LTI object (transfer function, state space, zpk), damp will give you a damping factor.
Ya, I have already tried that. Anyway thanks.
