Second
order filter. A smoothing filter in which the output follows the input, only more slowly; It is usually implemented in software as a difference equation of period T. When the second-order filter is used in avionics, it is commonly to smooth data, and to wash out transients at mode change. Usually, a first-order filter suffices, and it being less expensive, is chosen over a second-order filter. Typical values for omega sub n, a, and b are 0.1-2 rad/s, and zeta 0.1-0.9. It should also be noted that two first-order filters can be chained together to form a second-order filter that is critically damped or overdamped. When implementing a second-order filter on normalized variables, such as angles, the discontinuities require special treatment.

Second
The second (SI symbol: s), sometimes abbreviated sec., is the name of a unit of time, and is the International System of Units (SI) base unit of time.
SI prefixes are frequently combined with the word second to denote subdivisions of the second, e.g., the millisecond (one thousandth of a second) and nanosecond (one billionth of a second). Though SI prefixes may also be used to form multiples of the second (such as “kilosecond,” or one thousand seconds), such units are rarely used in practice. More commonly encountered, non-SI units of time such as the minute, hour, and day increase by multiples of 60 and 24 (rather than by powers of ten as in the SI system).
