DELAY1(input,delay time) exponential DELAY DELAY1I(input,delay time, initial value) exponential DELAY with Initial

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Returns a exponential delay of the input.  Equivalent to the equations:

DELAY1=LV/delay time

LV=INTEG(input-DELAY1,input*delay time)

DELAY1I=LV/delay time

LV=INTEG(input-DELAY1I,initial value*delay time)

Units:DELAY1(units,time) --> units
DELAY1I(units,time,units) --> units

The input units match the output units.  The units of delay time must match those of TIMEĀ  STEP.  For DELAY1I units for the initial value must match those of the input.
