RLC circuit demo bundle

Analyze the RLC series circuit using different modeling approaches and with hardware

This demo bundle demonstrates how to model and analyze a dynamical system – the RLC circuit – in MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape and how to seamlessly move between these modeling environments. The corresponding hardware experiment is analyzed with a low-cost data acquisition hardware platform.

Note: these are the example files that are used in a recorded Webinar on experimenting in teaching (available at http://www.mathworks.com/videos/learn-effective-efficient-experimenting-with-matlab-98172.html). This Webinar discusses some of the teaching challenges and presents approaches and techniques to efficiently create, perform and evaluate experiments.
