% Load the step response data
load stepResponse step_data;
% Plot the step response
figure;
plot(step_data(:,1), step_data(:,2), 'r*-');
% Set the axis limits
axis([0 200 0 1.2]);
% Add a title and axis labels
title('Closed loop response');
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Tank temperature (normalized)');
% Add a horizontal line for the Temperature at steady state
line('XData', [0 200], 'YData', [1 1], 'LineStyle', '-', ...
'LineWidth', 2, 'Color','m');
% Add lines for the temperature at time = 25
x = 25;
y = (step_data(4,2) - step_data(3,2));
line('XData', [x x 0], 'YData', [0 y y], 'LineWidth', 2, ...
'LineStyle', '-.', 'Color', [0 0.6 0]);
% Add lines for the temperature at time = 60
x = 50;
y = step_data(6,2);
line('XData', [x x 0], 'YData', [0 y y], 'LineWidth', 2, ...
'LineStyle', '-.', 'Color', [0.2 0.4 1.0]);
