I've recently acquired the System Identification toolbox and have a very specific problem I'd like to solve.

I have the Step Response of an unknown system. I'd like to identify the Transfer Function using the System Identification toolbox. The only information I know about the system is that it's of the following form:

k*omega_n^2/(1 + 2*zeta*omega_n + omega_n^2)

The system is assumed to be LTI and continuous.

Can anyone point me to documentation on how I can use the System Identification toolbox to solve this problem?

See the section on identifying low-order transfer function models in the
System Identification Toolbox documentation:
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/ident/ug/bq5q4xh-1.html

There is also a tutorial on this:
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/ident/gs/bqx9b6n.html

The model there is a bit different from yours, but essentially equivalent
with
K = k*omega_n^2

Hope this helps.
