The VI shown below creates the following continuous-time state-space model using the CD
Construct State-Space Model function:
In the VI the matrices are represented by arrays. For all models (no matter the order or
dimension of the system) these arrays are 2-dimensional arrays.

Note: The CD Construct State-Space Model function has an input parameter called Sampling
Time. When creating continuous-time models this input must be either unwired (as in Example
3.3) or wired with value zero. If a non-zero sampling time is connected, a discrete-time statespace
model will be created (with the system matrices as defined by the 2-dimensional arrays A,
B, C, and D).
