<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I would like to know if it is possible in scilab to
specify a time delay for an input signal to a continuous-time linear system such
as one created with </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>sys1 = syslin('c',A,B,C,D);</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In other words, can I create a continuous time
state-space model with a time delay?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For example, in matlab you can do </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>sys1 = ss(A,B,C,D,'InputDelay',1)
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>(matlab's ss function for "state space" is similar
to scilab's syslin function)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>which will create a continuous-time linear system
and will add a time delay of 1 second to each of the system's inputs. Is it
possible to do this in scilab? I've carefully gone through the help manual but
haven't found anything yet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I appreciate your assistance.</FONT></DIV>
