Overshoot
Also: peak overshoot
How far a response passes beyond its final or target value.
Percent overshoot is usually peak excess divided by step magnitude under a specified step-response convention.

- output units or percent
Example A response peaking at 110 after a 0-to-100 step has 10% overshoot.
Common misconception Overshoot is not the same as steady-state error or measurement noise.
