Differential Lag or Forgetting Function

 

 

Description

The Differential Lag component serves as a first order high pass filter and is sometimes known as a 'washout' function, a 'change' function, or a 'forgetting' function.  The output can be reset to the user specified value at any instant.

 

The solution method for this function is based on the value of the time constant T as follows:

 

 

If T = 0:

 

 

The output is then,
