control.initial_response¶

control.initial_response(sys, T=None, X0=0.0, input=0, output=None, transpose=False)¶

Initial condition response of a linear system

If the system has multiple outputs (MIMO), optionally, one output may be selected. If no selection is made for the output, all outputs are given.

For information on the shape of parameters T, X0 and return values T, yout, see Convention for Time Series.

Parameters:

sys: StateSpace, or TransferFunction

LTI system to simulate

T: array-like object, optional

Time vector (argument is autocomputed if not given)

X0: array-like object or number, optional

Initial condition (default = 0)

Numbers are converted to constant arrays with the correct shape.

input: int

Ignored, has no meaning in initial condition calculation. Parameter ensures compatibility with step_response and impulse_response

output: int

Index of the output that will be used in this simulation. Set to None to not trim outputs

transpose: bool

If True, transpose all input and output arrays (for backward compatibility with MATLAB and scipy.signal.lsim)

Returns:

T: array

Time values of the output

yout: array

Response of the system
