no matter how the input varies. The equation that describes this behavior
is: the output and input don'tchange with time

dt x D + 1

Where K = b0/a0 is the static sensitivity

 = a1/a0 is the system’s time constant (dimension of time)

Regardless of the physical dimensions of a0 and a1, their ratio will always have
the dimensions of time. The time constant provides a measure of the speed of
system response and thus is an important specification in measuring dynamic
input signals.

First-Order Systems: Step Response
We see that the error fraction decreases
from a value of 1 and approaches a value
of 0 with increasing t∕τ. At the instant the
step change in input is introduced, Γ = 1.0,
so that the indicated output from the
measurement system is 100% in error. This
means that the system has responded 0%
to the input change—that is, it has
not changed.
From Figure, it is apparent that as time
moves forward, the system does respond,
and with decreasing error in its indicated
value.
The percent response of the system to a

2
step change is (1 − Γ) × 100. Then when t =
τ, where Γ = 0.368, the system will have
responded to 63.2% of the step change.

Measurement and Instrumentation (MENG 381)

A measurement system can be modeled by the equation 0.5ẏ + y = F(t). Initially, the output
signal is steady at 75 volts. The input signal is then suddenly increased to
100 volts.
a. Determine the response equation.
b. On the same graph, plot both the input signal and the system time response from t = 0 s
