Returns a exponential smooth of the input. Equivalent to the equations:
SMOOTH=INTEG((input-SMOOTH)/delay time,input)
SMOOTHI=INTEG((input-SMOOTHI)/delay time,initial value)
Units: SMOOTH(units,time) --> units
SMOOTHI(units,time,units) --> units
The input units match the output units. The units of delay time must match those of TIME STEP. For SMOOTHI units for the initial value must match those of the input.
Example
S = STEP(10,40)
SS = SMOOTH(S,20)
SSI = SMOOTHI(S,20,5)
