DLR
Discrete transfer function
Block Screenshot

Description
This block realizes a SISO linear system represented by its rational transfer function (in the symbolic variable z). The rational function must be proper.
Parameters

Numerator (z)
This parameter sets the numerator of the transfer function.
This must be a polynomial inz .
Properties : Type 'pol' of size 1.
In the provided expression, any subexpression being an exponent given either by a variable (of the context) whose name is more than 1-character long, or by an expression (not a literal integer) must end with a space to be correctly displayed on the block's icon. This constrain has no consequence on the computational validity of the expression. Examples: "z^12+1", "z^ +12+1", "z^+ 12+1" are all displayed as "z^{12}+1", while "1+z^ab+z^2" will be displayed as "1+z^{ab+z^2}" (but will be well computed as1 + z^ab + z^2
). To make it well displayed, "1+z^ab +z^2" will have to be entered (for instance). As well, "z^(ab+1) + 2" will have to be entered, instead of "z^(ab+1)+2".Denominator (z)
This parameter sets the denominator of the transfer function.
This must be a polynomial inz .
Properties : Type 'pol' of size 1.
Take care about multichar exponents (see
Numerator
).

Comments
As a new user of XCOS and SciLab I sometimes struggle with the brief descriptions of things in the HELP.
For the DLR in XCOS (or discrete transfer function), for example, it might be useful to provide an example of a transfer functions with a higher power of 'z' than 1 in order to explain the format of 'z powers' to the user and make it easier to use.
eg:
numerator = 0.5*(1+%z^2)
denominator = 1 - %z^2
Also, it there a way to 'initialise a transfer functions state/history values
I want to set the initial conditions for a simulation run e.g. y(z)(z^-1) etc. Is this possible? If you dont know what I mean - its kind of like initialising an integrator in the algorithmic form of a PID controller, where the integral sum is a serparate variable.
Nick.
