Creating and Editing Design Constraints

When designing compensators, it is common to have design specifications that call for specific settling times, damping ratios, and other characteristics. The SISO Design Tool provides design constraints that can help make the task of meeting design specifications easier. The New Constraint window, which allows you to create design constraints, automatically changes to reflect which constraints are available for the view in which you are working. Select Design Constraints and then New to open the New Constraint window, which is shown below.

Since each view has a different set of constraint types, click on the following links to go to the appropriate descriptions:

Root locus
Open-loop Bode diagram and prefilter Bode diagram (same)
