Continuous/Discrete Conversions
SelectingContinuous/Discrete Conversions opens theContinuous/Discrete
Conversions
window, which you can use to convert between continuous to
discrete designs.You can select the following:
•Conversion method
•Sample time
•Critical frequency (where applicable)
This picture shows the window.

Conversion domain.
If your current model is continuous-time, the upper panel of
the Continuous/Discrete Conversion window automatically selects the
Discrete time radio button. If your model is in discrete-time, see
“Discrete-time domain”.
To convert to discrete time, you must specify a positive number for the sample
time in the
Sample time (sec) field.
You can perform continuous to discrete conversions on any of the components
ofyourmodel:theplant(
