Here, the coefficients a2, a1, and a0 are constants dependent on the
particular instrument of interest.
The left hand side of the equation is known as the characteristic
equation.
It is specific to the internal properties of the block and is not altered by
the way the insturment is used.
• The specific combination of forcing function input and
instrument characteristic equation collectively decides the
combined output response.
• Solution of the combined behavior is obtained using
Laplace transform methods to obtain the output responses
in the time or the complex frequency domain.

Behaviour of the Block
• Note that specific names have been given to each order.
• The zero-order situation is not usually dealt because it has no
time-dependent term and is thus seen to be trivial.
• It is an amplifier (or attenuator) of the forcing function with
gain of a0.
• It has infinite bandwidth without change in the amplification
constant.
• The highest order usually necessary to consider in first-cut
instrument analysis is the second-order class.
• Higher-order systems do occur in.
• Computer-aided tools for systems analysis are used to study the
responses of higher order systems.

Response of Thermometers: Periodic Loading
• If the input is a sine-wave, the output response is
quite different;
• but again, it will be found that there is a general
solution for all situations of this kind.
