totaldelay

Total combined I/O delays for LTI model

Syntax

td = totaldelay(sys)

Description

td = totaldelay(sys) returns the total combined I/O delays for an LTI model sys. The matrix td combines contributions from the InputDelay, OutputDelay, and ioDelayMatrix properties.

Delays are expressed in seconds for continuous-time models, and as integer multiples of the sample period for discrete-time models. To obtain the delay times in seconds, multiply td by the sample time sys.Ts.

Compute Combined Input-Output Delay for Transfer Function

Open Live Script

Create the transfer function model, 1/s.

sys = tf(1,[1 0]);

Specify a 2 second input delay, and a 1.5 second output delay.

sys.InputDelay = 2;
sys.Outputdelay = 1.5;

Compute the combined input-output delay for sys.

td = totaldelay(sys)

td = 
3.5000

The resulting transfer function has the following form:

$e^{- 2 s} x \frac{1}{s} e^{- 1.5 s} = e^{- 3.5 s} \frac{1}{s}$ .

This result is equivalent to specifying an input-output delay of 3.5 seconds for the original transfer function, 1/s.
