Description
The Derivative block approximates the instantaneous derivative of its input with respect to time t.
It is a measure of how a output changes as its input changes Δu. The derivative is given by:
The derivative block has no setting and the initial output for the block is zero.

DERIVATIVE Example
In this example, we compute and display the derivative waveform of a sinusoidal input signal, with amplitude 2 and frequency 1.25 Hz.
The input and output waveforms of the DERIVATIVE block are shown below:
