function conv_322(x,x_start,h,h_start,delta);

% conv_322(x,x_start,h,h_start,delta);
%
% Convolution support function for the Signals and Systems course,
% EE-322 at the United States Naval Academy {EE Department}.
% Calculates and plots the numeric convolution integral, y(t) = x(t)*h(t).
% The input, x(t), and the impulse response, h(t), are also plotted.
% For the result to be accurate ... delta must be sufficiently small.
%
% x
- sampled version of the input function
% x_start - input function start time (in seconds)
% h
- sampled version of the impulse response function
% h_start - impulse response function start time (in seconds)
% delta
- time interval between samples (in seconds) ... delta t
