What is the output domain of the Laplace Transform Real VI?

[THO407]

I am surprised that I wasn't able to find a clear answer to this question anywhere, and I still feel like I must have overlooked an obvious answer.

Nonetheless, I have discrete time-domain signals (force and displacement for a spring-mass-damper system) that I am feeding into the Laplace Transform Real VI, with the intention of dividing the transformed force by the transformed displacement and making a second order polynomial fit of the s-domain data so that I can obtain the coefficients from (what I believe to be) a second-order force response. This all seems to be going perfectly well, but I have been working under the assumption that the Laplace Transform Real VI outputs an array that is in the s-domain, and not the time domain. Is this the case?

The Help page in the online Product Reference Manual (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvanls/laplace_transform_real/) only says of the output, "Laplace {X} is the result of the Laplace transform as an array." However, the waveform chart shown as an example of the Laplace transform of Sin(t), for 0<t<6, also has its (unlabeled) independent axis ranging from 0 to 6, which is mainly where my confusion stems from.

Thanks very much for your help,

Tom

Hi THO407,

Looking at the help page you linked, it seems that the axis ranges from 0 to 6 because that is the interval of the function that is being specified.

"The following diagram shows the real Laplace transform of the function f(t) = sin(t) in the interval (0, 6). This is entered on the front panel as end 6.00 and X values of sin(t) for 0  t  6."
