A device comprising at least one electromechanical system and an electronic control unit comprising both a servo control loop connecting together the input and the output of the electromechanical system, and also a digital corrector. The device includes a software module having an input and an output connected respectively to the output and to the input of the electromechanical system. For each frequency of a set of frequencies that are to be analyzed, the software module is programmed: to issue a sinusoidal excitation signal on its output and to recover a response signal on its input; to model the response signal by means of a Fresnel representation and to filter it about the excitation frequency by means of at least one Kalman filter in order to obtain a state vector of the filtered response signal; and to obtain at least one transfer function for the system from the model, from the excitation signal, and from the input signal.
