I need to propose a transfer function from the following graph. The K value (or amplifier gain?) we were given is 2 and it has a step response of 2 as well. When looking at the graph though it looks as if the K value we were given is incorrect if it has an output voltage of around 5v. Can anyone help me propose a transfer function for this? Or point me to some resources that could show me?

Step Response Graph

A generic, first order transfer function is expected to be of the form $$ \frac{K}{\tau s + 1} $$ and I expected K = 5/2.

  • $\begingroup$ K is in reference to the amplifier gain. Not really sure how to attach an image to this comment. New here $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ My reasoning in thinking it was incorrect is that in a generic tranfer function K is the numerator (K/s*tau+1). So how could K be equal to 2 if it is equal to Vout/Vin (5/2)? $\endgroup$

Sorry, I have to answer rather than comment as I'm a noob as well. Are you asking in general for a transfer function, or are you after some PID controller TF?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4w0rslb04E seems to go into excessive detail (I didn't watch the whole thing) but should cover your question.
