root-locus and Bode diagram techniques to design compensators. The SISO
Design Tool by default displays the root locus and Bode diagrams for your
imported systems. The two are dynamically linked; for example, if you change
the gain in the root locus, it immediately affects the Bode diagrams as well.
This tool is used extensively in Getting Started with the Control System
