When plotting the step response of a system. If I enable the settling time characteristic and it doesn't show, is that implying that the settling time is 0 or that there is no settling time? It also shows NAN when I use stepinfo for the system.
Edit** More Info
So say I use this code to plot the step response of a transfer function:
s = tf('s');
G = 645*(1+s)/(0.001*s^3+1.02*s^2+(20*s)+645*(1+s))
t2 = 0:0.00001:.03;
step(G,t2);
Then when I right click the diagram and select characteristics -> settling time, nothing shows up.
Also if I use stepinfo(G)
Settling time only returns NaN

Please provide more details. Please do realize that people here have no idea what you are doing.

This works:
s = tf('s');
G = 645*(1+s)/(0.001*s^3+1.02*s^2+(20*s)+645*(1+s))
t2 = 0:0.00001:.03;
[y,t] = step(G,t2);
si = stepinfo(y,t)
produces:
si =
RiseTime: 2.3554e-003
SettlingTime: 7.3168e-003
SettlingMin: 875.4812e-003
SettlingMax: 1.0498e+000
Overshoot: 7.9921e+000
Undershoot: 0.0000e+000
Peak: 1.0498e+000
PeakTime: 4.9400e-003
