Math.Tests.Feedback ​

Computes the difference between constant and time-varying input signals.

The Feedback test component demonstrates a basic feedback mechanism by subtracting the value of one constant (2) from another constant (1), resulting in an output of -1. This illustrates the core functionality of a feedback control system where one signal is subtracted from another. A second feedback block is driven by two sine waves that sweep negative and positive values so the difference varies over time.
