Abstract :
This paper presents two software tools MATLAB & LabVIEW as an educational platform to learn control system in time domain and frequency domain for continuous time and discrete time systems. It provides an hands-on exercise on both the software for the control engineers to create transfer function in continuous and discrete domain, conversion from transfer function models to state space models and vice versa, getting information by open loop and closed loop systems and their interconnections, step response and frequency response of 2nd order system. Both the tools are briefly presented followed by practical examples and also gives an estimation of the elapsed time to execute the same set of instructions on their respective platforms.
