kitControl-Derivative

It performs the transfer function between input (In) and the output (Out) as approximated derivative: Out = K * (In(t) - In(t-deltaT))/deltaT.

K = constant value of the gain

In(t) = current input value

In(t-deltaT) = previous input value

deltaT = time difference between input values

K = constant value of the gain

t = time constant (t > 0 required [seconds])

u = connector of input signals to be differentiated (In)

This component approximates the transfer function between the input (In) and the output (Out) by calculating the instantaneous rate of change as seen in the example.

The Derivative is available in the Math folder of the kitControl palette.
