integratortype
Integratortype is a term used in technical documentation to designate the category or configuration of an integrator, the component or algorithm that computes the integral of an input signal over time. In theory, an integrator is a system whose output is the time integral of its input. In continuous-time systems, the ideal integrator has a transfer function of 1/s, yielding y(t) = ∫ x(τ) dτ plus an initial condition.
In discrete-time or digital implementations, integrators approximate the integral with difference equations. A common form is
Integratortype also describes the numerical method or block configuration used in simulations and software libraries. Software
Applications span control systems, signal processing, and system modeling. In control, the integral term of a
