Verifiable Linear System Characteristics

The following table summarizes the linear system characteristics you can specify bounds on and assert that the bounds are satisfied during simulation.

Block	Plot Type	Bounds on…
Check Bode Characteristics	Bode	Upper and lower Bode magnitude
Check Gain and Phase Margins	Bode Nichols Nyquist Table	Gain and phase margins
Check Nichols Characteristics	Nichols	Open-loop gain and phase Closed-loop peak gain
Check Pole-Zero Characteristics	Pole-Zero	Approximate second-order characteristics, such as settling time, percent overshoot, damping ratio and natural frequency, on the pole locations
Check Singular Value Characteristics	Singular Value	Upper and lower singular values
Check Linear Step Response Characteristics	Step Response	Step response characteristics

You can specify bound parameters on the Bounds tab of each block. You can also specify the bounds programmatically. For more information, see the corresponding block reference pages.
