A Microcomputer-Based S-Plane Transient Response Plotter

Abstract

German

Spanish

French

A CAD package running on the Apple IIe microcomputer is presented to plot the time response of a linear system to a number of forms of excitation. System specification is in either pole-zero or S-plane polynomial, both up to the 9th order. Output is in graphical or tabular form. The programs are user-friendly, and may be used by students with a minimum of formal introduction.
