need to know how the transfer function really works in LabVIEW?

I am trying to see how Transfer Function.vi works by creating my own demo. I cannot really tell if it works like it should. How can I test ?
-How can I create the input? [ I tried to make the step function which goes to "1" when I change the input point from "0" to "1". I might miss out something.]
-What is the easy transfer function to test? [I guessed 1/(1+s) ]
-What is the result I should get for the certain input? [ the step response or etc.]

The attachment is the file I created. Maybe any of you would know how to modify it.

The inverse laplace transform of 1/s+1 is e^-t. So the response you should have to a step response is a first order response with a 1 second time constant. I have modified your example so you can compare the transfer function response with the time domain response (e^-t) to a step input.

There are 2 things I don't understand:

Why is your step input just the value of 0 ? How can it turn into step input?

What is "dt" connector really? I cannot relate it with the control system parameter.

Your program works pretty good, but I just don't understand the whole thing.

Thank You.
