Displaying Response Characteristics on a Plot

For example, to see the rise time for the DC motor step response, right-click your mouse and select Rise Time under Characteristics, as this figure illustrates.

Using Right-Click Menus to Display the Rise Time for a Step Response

The rise time is defined as the amount of time it takes the step response to go from 10% to 90% of the steady-state value.

The LTI Viewer calculates and displays the rise time for the step response.

DC Motor Step Response with the Rise Time Displayed

To display the values of any plot characteristic marked on a plot, place your mouse on the blue dot that marks the characteristic. This opens a data marker with the relevant information displayed. To make the marker persistent, left-click the blue dot.

For example, this figure shows the rise time value for the DC motor step response.

Using Your Mouse to Get the Rise Time Values

Note that you can left-click anywhere on a particular plot line to see the response values of that plot at that point. You must either place your cursor over the blue dot or left-click, however, if you want to see the rise time value.
