Analyzing, Validating, and Converting Models (Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit or Control Design and Simulation Module)

After estimating a model of a dynamic system, you can observe model characteristics by analyzing the model. You also can verify that the model represents the dynamic system by validating the model. Use the System Identification VIs to analyze and validate models.

According to linear system theory, you can represent a linear system with different models. Each model representation has benefits and drawbacks for characterizing a dynamic system. Certain model representations are more suitable for certain analysis techniques. You can use the System Identification VIs to convert models from one representation to another to identify the best-fit model for the system.
