In the calculator the Heaviside step function H(t) is simply referred to as '1'.
To check the transform in the calculator use: 1 ` LAP. The result is '1/X',
Similarly, 'U0' ` LAP , produces the result 'U0/X', i.e.,

You can obtain Dirac's delta function in the calculator by using: 1` ILAP
The result is
This result is simply symbolic, i.e., you cannot find a numerical value for, say

Applications of Laplace transform in the solution of linear ODEs
At the beginning of the section on Laplace transforms we indicated that you
could use these transforms to convert a linear ODE in the time domain into an
algebraic equation in the image domain.
