Function Reference

totaldelay

Return the total combined I/O delays for an LTI model

Syntax

• td = totaldelay(sys)
  

Description

td = totaldelay(sys) returns the total combined I/O delays for an LTI model sys. The matrix td combines contributions from the InputDelay, OutputDelay, and ioDelay properties, (see set on page 11-192 or type ltiprops for details on these properties).

Delays are expressed in seconds for continuous-time models, and as integer multiples of the sample period for discrete-time models. To obtain the delay times in seconds, multiply td by the sample time sys.Ts.

Example

• sys = tf(1,[1 0]);  % TF of 1/s
  sys.inputd = 2;                       % 2 sec input delay
  sys.outputd = 1.5;                    % 1.5 sec output delay
  td = totaldelay(sys)
  td =
      3.5000
  

The resulting I/O map is

This is equivalent to assigning an I/O delay of 3.5 seconds to the original model sys.
