What Is Involved In Time Response Measurements?
Time response measurements are particularly simple. • A step input to a system is simply a suddenly applied input – often just a constant voltage applied through a switch. • The system output is usually a voltage, or a voltage output from a transducer measuring the output. • A voltage output can usually be captured in a file using a C program or a Visual Basic program. You can use responses in the time domain to help you determine the transfer function of a system. Here’s the response of a system to a unit step.
