Troubleshooting Frequency Response Estimation

When to Troubleshoot

If, after analyzing your frequency response estimation, the frequency response plot does not match the expected behavior of your system, you can use the time response and FFT plots to help you improve the results.

If your estimation is slow or you run out of memory during estimation, see Managing Estimation Speed and Memory.
