Figure 8 depicts the filter output in response to a step input

and an impulse input. Figure 9 depicts the digital filter in use

in a Pentium 4 processor system. Note that the two curves,

with filter and without, have been purposely offset so that

both responses can be clearly seen. Inserting the filter does

not induce an offset as shown.
