Step Response: Settling time not showing
Show older comments
When plotting the step response of a system. If I enable the settling time characteristic and it doesn't show, is that implying that the settling time is 0 or that there is no settling time? It also shows NAN when I use stepinfo for the system.
Edit** More Info
So say I use this code to plot the step response of a transfer function:
s = tf('s');
G = 645*(1+s)/(0.001*s^3+1.02*s^2+(20*s)+645*(1+s))
t2 = 0:0.00001:.03;
step(G,t2);
Then when I right click the diagram and select characteristics -> settling time, nothing shows up.

Also if I use stepinfo(G)
Settling time only returns NaN

This works:
s = tf('s');
G = 645*(1+s)/(0.001*s^3+1.02*s^2+(20*s)+645*(1+s))
t2 = 0:0.00001:.03;
[y,t] = step(G,t2);
si = stepinfo(y,t)
produces:
si =
