What is the difference between a retardation lag and a time delay in system response?
What is the difference between a retardation lag and a time delay in system response?
- Retardation lag occurs after a time delay, while time delay occurs immediately.
- Retardation lag causes a shift in response along the time axis, while time delay does not.
- Retardation lag shifts the response along the time axis, while time delay begins after dead time. (correct)
- Retardation lag responds immediately after a change, while time delay has no immediate response.
